Huh? I'm just pointing out the facts here. I agree it would be nice if some children stayed with the parents, at the parents' discretion, and the border patrol had the resources and funding to make such stays comfortable.

Fortunately, today the mother would be told to stay in Mexico, and get to show up later at the port of entry for her asylum hearing. So we've fixed that problem.

I was just pointing out that some of your facts are incorrect. You said "Illegal border crossing is still illegal" and "they're now being separated, as happens when suspects get arrested." and earlier "perfectly ordinary border enforcement arresting illegal aliens" but as you can see from the quote above - this is happening to people who did not get arrested or do anything illegal.

The example you give appears to be an exceptional case.
