Filing for Moral Bankruptcy
Terrified children in cages. Black-clad ICE agents coldly patrolling the perimeter of the yard like medieval footmen guarding a castle. Parents weeping in fear for the safety of their flesh and blood, a sweat-drenched lot that awaits word of their ultimate fate here in the Land of the Free. Legions of tempest-tossed tired and poor, huddled in fear regarding the fate of themselves and their children while caged away in the Home of the Brave.
The pictures are inescapable. So too the commentary, with some pointing out the vast and inexcusable injustice being done to those who pose no threat and to whom the basic necessities of due process have been callously denied. They labor in restoring the humanity to a debate that sees precious little of it. However, the reasoned response of the humane finds itself being drown out on social media by the Law and Order crowd, demanding that the violent separation of children from their parents is the inevitable result of violating The Law, and that nobody, but nobody, should expect to escape the judgment of The Law, as The Law is immutable, sacrosanct, and final, the final moral judge of We the People, amen.

I don't believe any of it. Everyone is Hitler, so I assume it's all made up.

Nope, they are getting due process, that is why they are being detained, so they can receive due process, and of course be fed and housed and given medical care for free from the American taxpayer.
Is there any country in the world where children are imprisoned with their parents when the parents commit a crime?
In fact there is, North Korea. Everywhere else children don't go to jail with the parents, they are separated.
