The families should not have been separated but how else is the US supposed to handle a surge of asylum seekers? The camps seem lightweight and able to grow or shrink as needed.
I might even agree with just allowing them all in to wait for asylum, it's the US' failure to accommodate afterall.

If they were willing to risk abandoning their homes/community and cross a border illegally they'll most likely risk disappearing if their asylum application gets denied. That's a big risk. Much like prisons they should be well funded and treated with respect and dignity, which is the treatment we would expect for our citizens if they were temporarily imprisoned in any country.

There's no easy answer for how to handle large numbers of asylum seekers, but intentionally separating families as a way to inflict pain and deter further immigrants is a horrific policy.
