Cruelty, incompetence & indifference

[joeleli]

How terrible that these children's lives have been interrupted in such a way.

Why don't you blame the PARENTS, who KNEW they were breaking the law, for bringing them, Wapo??

[eddym]

Just remember this...the law of Karma, the golden rule, what you sow you reap,
cause and effect. I do not think you understand you are deplorables.

[slovokia]

Republicans you own the consequences of Trumps policies no matter how incompetent, thoughtless or cruel. He defines your brand.

[gordonadams]

Still separated because the entire affair is one big cluster frack. So typical of this"lost boys" administration.

How many ACTUAL American families are separated for non violent crimes?

[josephvaccaro]

Why doesn't the Washington Post produce a program  about how fed up the common folk Americans are with illegals at the border? And about it all.

[tonyaxeman]

That's what happens when parents try to bring their families here illegally. Parents go to adult jail or prison, and it's not appropriate for kids to be in an adult jail or prison with them... The solution is for them to come here Legally

[danielyang]

Don't brake the law by entering illegally then wouldn't be separated in foreign country!

We reunite them with their parents because we care, then the parents turn around andsend them back ALONE to a closed US border. Enough is enough!! I didn't think so before...but we DO need a wall, cause they don't take NO for an answer. Their own governments are encouraging this mess. This is NOT the U.S.'s problem.

donald trump says this has been going on for 60 years?
within the land called united states, there is children protective services, they steal children all the time. if trump is saying it has been going on for 60 years.. the same ones that were already here are the same ones doing this. just that now it is more noticeable because business got massively bigger.
but is the same thing.
i am living proof of this happening for years here.
why now the consern?
ok, court orders those childrem over the border reunited, why not all children here within the U.S.territories also?

i could go ahead. especulate. their organized crime of years is becoming obvious. too much noise over it when they have all so quiet within the states.... oh no... they have to attempt ruin donald trump presidency with bad propagand. why arent they being addressed directly and their rules of fraud abolished?

Lesson - don’t come here illegally and use your child, if it is your child, as a pawn.

[charlysteenstevens]

Reunite that kid and give generous handouts to the whole family - American citizens don't need anything. Later on that kid can take the scholarship a hardworking American kid would have received.

[jovitavillalpando]

Maybe they should stay home and not enter illegaly

[fofk]

Don't worry, Roy Moore is on the job!!

[TheRoamer]

How about blaming the parents for committing a crime with their child in tow? If you commit a crime with your child you get separated end of story have a nice day.

Why children are separated from the parents:don't make me answer!!!😞😟

Next time you walk a thousand miles with your child, towards a country offering a better life...try not to insult them by sneaking in the back door. Come through the front gates and announce yourself properly.
