The child-parent separation that is happening is not a law. It is a new policy by the Trump administration to separate all unauthorized entries into the country as a deterrent to illegal immigration.
It is not an Obama-era policy. It is not a Clinton-era policy. It is not a law from any administration.
Even if it were a law, there is exactly nothing wrong with disagreeing with cruel and unusual behavior, even if it is codified in a statute at any level of government.

Illegal immigration is still happening, and those families make it into the US every day, whole. Unseparated.
