what is before? separation has been around since law started because criminals do not say with their kids when in jail, this happens to citizens too which you ignored thinking that its racism is just you jumping to emotional conclusions there are no problems reuniting families when they are actually families, it is when kids are alone or abused as drug mules that they have to work harder to find where to put them they still leave horrible conditions so why arent you upset over how bad the other countries are?

> what is before? Before Trump’s zero tolerance policy, when criminal charges for illegal crossing were essentially never pursued on their own and families with children targeted for deportation without criminal charges were also (since the court order limiting the use of immigration detention for children) not subjected to immigration detention specifically to avoid separation, and where active steps weren't taken to force entrants seeking asylum to enter illegally by preventing access at ports of entry, which is what actually pushed most of the families subjected to Trump's zero tolerance policy into the system in the first place. > there are no problems reuniting families when they are actually families Yes, in fact, there are, in the present situation. > it is when kids are alone Unaccompanied minors have been a particular problem at times in the past, but that's not the current issue. > or abused as drug mules That happens, but, again, is not the source of the current crisis. > they still leave horrible conditions so why arent you upset over how bad the other countries are? Most people upset about this administration’s blatant and indefensible mistreatment and hostage taking with regard to asylum seekers are, also, unhappy with the conditions in the countries that they are fleeing. Which is actually a big reason why they are upset at the Administration’s further tormenting them when they are trying to flee, and actively preventing them from lawfully seeking asylum.
