All this fake outrage is just ridiculous..
The US seperates US families on a regular daily basis for minor infractions that were not even remotely safety issues in the first place..
How many families has the war on drugs seperated??
How many for unpaid fines or traffic tickets??
That is the reason people are mad right?? They are splitting up families when the person hasn’t really done anything that directly hurt anyone?? Right??
No one cares if a rapist, murderer or thief has their family seperated..
Well how many people in America are incarcerated today that fit that exact same dynamic??
A suspended license is kinda a fair representation of an illegal entry crime right??
How many families have been seperated because someone was caught in the suspended license trap?? Where your license gets suspended for driving while suspended. When there really was no real crime in the first place???
Countless....
And this isn’t a plea to separate more children.. 2 wrongs DO NOT make it right..
It is a plea to realize we do the same things to Americans for little or nothing and no one bats an eye...
We have spent the last couple hundred years of making random laws and we rarely clear the chaf..
There are still laws on the books about interracial marriage within the last couple years and “parking your horse in town on a sunday” type laws have never even been removed.
This has led to just thousands of laws and a big portion of those meant to generate revenue and Not protect public safety.
I find it dishonest and kinda disgusting that people are pretending it is horrible when it happens to immigrants, but don’t make a peep as it happens to their neighbors.

MSM has been the greatest sheep herder to date.
Many folks across the world are disgusted with what the government is doing while completely ignoring what the parents of those children did to them to get them to the border.

I mostly agree, although I think a better solution can be found.

If nothing else, the recent protesting and activism showed us that it is the only way to get things changed when we see injustice.
This was a planned and telegraphed reaction. Not a protest.

And when that happens on a country wide scale and all sides speak out against it, regardless of political lean, and even staunch supporters and evangelists -- it's called majority.
Stop trying to make it seem like only some people were against this -- the whole country and the world saw the horror in it, or DJT wouldn't have made a change.
I hope we never see anything like this again in our lives, although our government's predilection for such behavior is concerning.
