“It was miraculous. It was almost no trick at all, he saw, to turn vice into virtue and slander into truth, impotence into abstinence, arrogance into humility, plunder into philanthropy, thievery into honor, blasphemy into wisdom, brutality into patriotism, and sadism into justice. Anybody could do it; it required no brains at all. It merely required no character.”

― Joseph Heller, Catch 22

+FRONTLINE PBS | Official, are we asking here to the people who have to put the law to use to be critical, and maybe not take the law too literally? Should we not better go, and ASK AND DEMAND from the lawmakers and the ones who GIVE OUT those orders to these folk on the ground to change those crooked laws and rules?

[gigicat]

these people act like there are no American children who is separated from their American parents.

[MichaelJohnson-bijp]

Come through the legal point of entry and you won’t be separated simple as that. If I break a law I am going to be separated from my family.

Different set of rules? Like when European settlers came to this country and NO ONE impeded them? Or when they decimated the Native tribes without mercy and enslaved black people to built the country for them?

[FriendtoAnimals-olgr]

Screw Trump and his followers here on the comment section.

[eleanorsvenson]

We can’t be immune to how humans are treated. We can’t be immune to their pain.

[timcorrigan]

These comments are stunning in their lack of even the most basic sympathy for these children, as is the reaction from the Former Acting ICE Director.
I pray you never fall victim to the kind of suffering—and lack of sympathy for that suffering—that we are all bearing witness to at this moment in our nation’s history.

[ManuelPabloArnao]

Monster. Don't separate children and parents when they're coming to a new country asking for asylum.

[jeffwpope]

Calling it your job don't make it right.

[workingbselfsufficient]

I applaud this man for standing for what's right. Proud of ICE.

Amazing, no response really? And yet you’ve said oh I’ve heard a lot of disturbing things in my life. This is one of those things. You just don’t wanna accept it.

My sympathy meter has not moved up from 0. These people have taken advantage of the United States and it's time to draw the line. My great grandparents came here from Mexico 90 years ago. They didn't speak a word of English and had nothing. He used to tell me "it may seem as though we had nothing, but we had everything when we came here. We had America, and we had a chance". He hated those who came here illegally and used to say, "they come here to make their lives easier, I came here to make my life better".
