Now you're merely rephrasing your claims and creating several logical fallacies.
Since you won't answer my question, I'll answer it for you: one belittles another person in a discussion when their own arguments are insufficient.
As I said before you posted, the Trump Administration changed the way in which laws regarding illegal crossing of the border are enforced, specifically in April 2018 in a letter by AG Jeff Sessions. Since that time the number of families separated at the border because of that change has vastly increased. A secondary concern is the treatment of the kids in custody as noted.

Let them cry and let them have their little sit ins. Each time they protest they render protesting more and more ineffective.

Hmmm ... pretty well, as I understand it. Indictments of several Russians and Russian companies, three members of the Trump campaign have confessed to crimes, and his campaign manager is now in jail.
Are you already out of "arguments" about the topic? Sad.

The topic is immigration enforcement.
Do try to focus.

As I understand the issues that many have with current policy, it would be that it is unnecessary to separate so many families in order to control illegal border crossing. The conditions in these detention centers are pretty awful according to reports, so to me, the duration is unimportant, we should do something to make the situation better.
Are you saying that you're fine with kids being mistreated then? Because its happened before?
No one is lying to you, and further, you have no knowledge about what I direct my compassion toward
That's an absurd comment on your part and indicative of the weaknesses of your general argumentative style.

Before the middle of April 2018, the number of families split up at our border in the course of enforcing our laws was a fraction of what it is now.
The Trump Administration changed the policy of enforcement in 2018.
Folks are exercising their American right to assemble and speak because they do not support these changes made in their name.

The topic of the thread is immigration enforcement and protests of those policies.
What in the world does "CNN" have to do with that fact? It's right here on the page in front of your eyes.
Do you have anything beyond "har, har, da CNN is fake news #MAGA"? If not, I'm wasting precious time.
President Trump signed an Executive Order in line with his typical knee-jerk reactions to his press, and by doing so, has created an absurd amount of confusion at our borders that were already overwhelmed.
