Pretty generous considering the US actually separated thousands of kids from their parents at the border, some of whose parents have still not been found. If you didn't factor that into your moral compass, you probably should.
- AnimalMuppet 8y agoI see your thousands, and raise you hundreds of thousands.
- pm90 8y agoWhat is this? Comparing who has the bigger stick? Who harms more people? Any system has injustices; we cannot prevent that. But willfully enacting forcible family separation was not an accident. Hundreds of orphans is bad enough.
- AnimalMuppet 8y agoAbsolutely, hundreds of orphans is bad enough. (Except they aren't exactly orphans - we didn't kill the parents. They're long-term separated from their parents, though, which is pretty close.) Hundreds of thousands is a thousand times worse. So, yeah. Not equivalent.
