RE: CPS - THE FIGHT MUST CONTINUE!
You raise a lot of different and interesting issues here. I will comment on only one. Family is important - very important, and I believe that families should be kept together as often as possible. Innocent children should never have to suffer in an ideal world for the sins of their parents. But where is the uproar about American children separated through no fault of their own from fathers or mothers who have broken the law and are in prison? Surely they should have the same rights and their parents should be released from prison to be with them? Not many would agree to that I’m sure, but surely the children are innocent in their parents’ crimes and should have the same rights as the rights of children of illegal immigrants?
We don’t live in a perfect world. Illegal immigrants are taking the same risk of separation from their children as others who break the law do. It’s a sad fact that they are willing to risk everything without thinking of the consequences. The problem is not the law, but parents who ignore it and chose to break it anyway. 😢
Thank you for commenting @dmcamera and for making this case:
But there is a difference, children's parents who get jail time still are left with one parent or other family members in a stable home. A child who comes to the border and is taken to some "camp" of some sorts without any caring adults or family is a bit of a different story. I know the illegal immigrants are a big problem but as you said innocent children should not have to suffer. That is not humane. We have the same problems in South Africa. They cross the border and they commit a lot of crime in our country, take our peoples jobs in a country where about 26 million people are unemployed. They start businesses which could have been opportunities for South Africans, so I totally understand the "anti-illegal immigrant" sentiments but better solutions should be found by governments and that should not be to punish the innocent children for their parent's faults. If we give our approval to these practices then we could just as well go work for the CPS.
