This is Finn's definition of "humanely as possible, I guess.

Trump is following the law. Period. Trump did not create the system that houses/details illegals at the border, nor the facilities that have been overcrowded and understaffed for the volume for years. Because prior administrations addressed the issue - non-comprehensively - via prosecutorial discretion (there it is again), or as the Mother Jones article pointed out, simply opting to detain families indefinitely (and "sending a message at the same time").

Bottom line - you probably don't give a crap about these kids. To you, its simply an issue that you can distort, inflate and then leverage as some sort of cynical political hammer.

You watch: if something is done to fix the separation issue, someone will sue over it, and it likely won't be a "right wing" person or group that brings the suit. If that happens, the motivation won't be to "help the kids". It'll be to keep the political waters roiled.

We need to comprehensively fix this, so its not left to future administrations to dance around the law with executive orders or patchwork legislation.
I need to break out my hipwaders. You are projecting again, Mike.
