The zero tolerance law is not Trump’s law. It was passed by Congress.
So then I stand corrected, did Democrats too voted for this law ?
This law was in the books since the Obama administration but it was never enacted.
While there are discussions on the zero tolerance guidelines/laws; the gist of the issue and conclusion is that no such "law" exist.
There are no US-federal laws that permit the separation of families.
Action without enacted laws are unlawful and unenforceable.
In the United States and every other country in the world when a parent breaks the law they are separated from their children during the judicial process and when they go to jail.
Why are these parents breaking the law and putting their children in harm’s way? Why is this Trump’s problem and not the problem of the countries that these people belong to?
Oh man... I thought as a female, you would have some compassion Bibi.
Former first lady Laura Bush, who almost never expresses public opinions, wrote an essay in the Washington Post calling the separations “immoral” and heartbreaking. Talk host Ellen DeGeneres, whose online presence is largely apolitical, wrote on Twitter: “I don’t care what your politics are, we can’t be a country that separates children from their parents.”
I do have compassion. It's a sad situation. The zero tolerance law was passed by Congress and voted on by Congress people from all fifty states. Children are not going through the judicial process. They have to be temporarily separated while the parents get reviewed by immigration officers. Trump also has to pay for translators as none of them speak English.
Like I said it's sad and unfortunate. Why are we blaming Trump and not the leaders of the countries where these people are coming from?
Do you have children of your own?
