You are being played by those lying to you to tug on your emotions. Ask
yourself why they never tell you what solution they want. Ask yourself why they never screamed about how "cruel" this was when families were also separated under the Obama administration, albeit at much lower levels due to the flows of full families and more shelter capacity at the time. Ask yourself why they never mention the Flores Consent Decree prevents the keeping families intact beyond 20 days, as they want you calling for. Ask yourself why these same folks keep getting caught floating false pictures of "caged kids" and stories to paint a false picture they hope you won't notice because they're counting on "Trump hate" to cloud your thinking.
The folks that are feeding you this "Trump is cruel" narrative will only be satisfied with one solution - letting all of these families (and individuals for that matter) go free in our country, knowing full well the vast majority will never return for their hearings and will add to the numbers that will one day have to be dealt with wrt "letting them come out of the shadows". I'm sure you can understand why that would never be a tenable solution for Trump/Sessions or anyone that believes in better securing our borders. And hopefully you can understand why doing so would only make this problem of families crossing the border even worse.
Frankly, I wonder how many of them even give a damn about the welfare of these kids, or you might see them more vocal about child/spousal abuse and deporting illegals that are abusers in the communities of folks already here. They only care about scoring political points and adding numbers to future voter rolls to help ensure their grip on power. I sincerely hope, and don't think at this point, you don't fall into that category.
