Because what you are witnessing is people reacting viscerally while ignoring the facts. Is it emotionally tough when immigrant parents, who are charged with a crime, are separated from their children? Yes.
But this practice isn’t unique to immigrants. When citizens are charged with a felony, and some misdemeanors, they are arrested, detained, and separated from their kids. Sometimes DCS is involved and places the children when no relative is available to take the children.
Oh the horror and injustice of charging criminals, detaining them, and not allowing the children to accompany the defendant into jail.
I missed the Bible verse deriding as an immense injustice the act of charging people with a crime, and detaining them, which separates them from their children. The Bible apparently teaches that no person should be charged with a crime and detained for the sake of the children.
The Bible clearly creates two classes of people who commit crimes. Those with kids and those without. Sorry partna, you do not have kids so, we can detain you for the criminal charge. What? Why is your neighbor not being charged? Because he has kids. How’s that? He was charged with a crime but released unlike you? That’s because he has kids and heaven forbid if we detain people charged with a crime if they have kids. We can’t separate em.
What you are witnessing is a combination of bad argument, emotional response, and ignoring the facts. It’s a recipe for some of the bad posts on the subject.
