> You're not arguing in good faith when you suggest that the two possible binary outcomes are (a) unrestricted immigration or (b) separating kids from their parents. Completely agreed. Furthermore, it's the fact that we've had a lax border that is to blame for people expecting to get through without any trouble (or at least without being separated from their kids). I have no problem with tightening up border security, but these kids did no wrong -- and to forcibly separate them from their parents is to do evil to them. I'm sure we can find a creative (if unorthodox) solution to this that allows kids to stay with their parents whether or not the parents are prosecuted.
