Andrew Sullivan on separation
Children see their mom or dad suddenly subjected to force, shoved out of cars, handcuffed and then simply spirited away. No child should ever be subjected to this, period. The sheer trauma it will generate can last a lifetime. Yes, these are noncitizens. Yes, many have broken the law. But they are also children. Every day we numb ourselves to these core violations of decency, America dies a little.
When challenged on this, of course, tRUMP simply lied and insisted that the Democrats came up with this "horrible law." Has nothing to do with what his own ICE is doing, he tells us. Nothing.
The think about this despicable man is that he doesn't even have the courage to own his cruelty.
New York Magazine.
“I would cite you to the Apostle Paul and his clear and wise command in Romans 13, to obey the laws of the government because God has ordained them for the purpose of order. If you cross the Southwest border unlawfully, then the Department of Homeland Security will arrest you and the Department of Justice will prosecute you. Having children does not give you immunity from arrest and prosecution.”
Jeff Sessions
Under President Obama people who were caught crossing the border illegally weren't prosecuted unless they had been previously caught or had been deported before for a violent crime. The tRUMP administration has now taken the view that everyone caught will be prosecuted. This has caused a huge backlog in cases and the extended time of separation of parents from their children. So the kids of all ages are being stockpiled in make shift shelters and tRUMP is going to start building tent cities to house all of the children.
Sessions and Sarah Sanders have now taken to quoting the bible in Romans 13, "obey the law" to justify their actions. tRUMP meanwhile blames the Democrats in Congress for not giving him his wall for the enforcement of this terrible law which he would love to correct if only the democrats would get on board with his immigration reform. Blah blah blah....

tRUMP met our allies last week at the G-7 summit and managed to piss them all off. This photo came out and, as you can see, been used in various adaptions to show what really happened there. tRUMP left the summit early and then told his staff not to sign a joint statement because the president of Canada bashed him in the media.
