The adults broke the law. That of course justifies jailing the children indefinitely and without a chance of being reunited with their parents at some time in the future.

So, when will you and those who support this action, start advocating for this just action to be implemented in the United States? Shoplifting, use of drugs, speeding, tax evasion, etc? Jail the offender and their children for an unstated amount of time. The child can be assured they will spend longer interned than the parent (after all the sins of the father fall to the son anyway, and to not be sexist, we should foist the sins of both parents onto the children, right?) The child can also be reasonably assured they will likely never see their parent again once they are released from jail.

When will this plan hit the ballots here in the US or will congress just intact it without out us involved?
Recognizing one wrong doesn't mean you can't recognize the other. Like it or not, the law is the law. Obey the law and keep your kids. Break it and lose them. They only contribute to the problem.

I don’t know, you said... “then the whole truth comes out, where Trump may not be so bad after all.”

What are you talking about?

Just go by what you thought I meant when you posed the question. The quote there is pretty clear.

It seems a couple of other posters understood why I posed the question

But I can see that this is turning into a standard Kenny’sID “conversation” so I’m out thanks, life too short for this nonsense..

Violating the law was the bar set for imprisoning the children with the chance they will never see their parents again. Hence, in the US it should be the bar here too. If it is a good idea for non-citizens it should be a good idea for citizens too.

So, when do you think Congress will enact this law to imprison innocent US children when their US parents violate the law? Or do you think it will go on the ballots for the US citizens to vote on? Probably should just go to congress since we did not vote on the imprisonment of non-citizen, children.

This is practiced with US citizens.

oh wow, I did not know this. Where are the children imprisoned? Foster care does not count as jail time by the way :)
Children aren't imprisoned in either case. But they are separated from their parents in both cases.

Lawyers appointed by a federal judge to identify migrant families who were separated by the Trump administration say they have yet to track down the parents of 545 children, and that approximately two-thirds of those parents were deported to Central America without their children, according to a filing from the ACLU on Tuesday.

Lawyers: We can't find parents of 545 kids separated by Trump admin

They never should have been separated from their parents in the first place. Very sad.
THIS IS SO HEARTBREAKING!!

How do we know the adults attempting to smuggle them across the border were really their parents? Without documentation, how can we?
Maybe ask the kids?

Why would you even ask that?

Well when you pry the child out of “momma’s” arms and they begin to wail “mama!”, you might get a slight indication of who is whom.

Trump bad, Trump bad, Trump bad, then the whole truth comes out, where Trump may not be so bad after all.

Classic.
In this case where families are split asunder, yes, “TRUMP BAD!”

Doesn’t prove anything. Kids can lie. Kids may not want to talk.

Because it’s become quite common for illegal immigrants to cross the border carrying children in tow in order to get a better chance of getting in. It would makes sense that lawyers can’t find the parents if they have no idea who the parents are...

You’re a Guamanian peasant and you’ve decided to emigrate to America...are you going to take your family?
Yes?
Are you going to take some kid who is no relation to you because what? Someone offered you money to transport this kid to America?

Wow.

If only there was some kind of test that could be performed to accurately determine whether the children and the people claiming to be their parents were in fact related. Perhaps one that was in common use since the late 80s.
