FTR I'm complaining too. I've always said I lean towards keeping families


in tact while they go through the process. But the court ruling about not detaining kids over 20 days is reality (it's not Dem law as Trump claimed, as far as I've seen), and "Trump is cruel" is not policy or a solution.

The only realistic question IMO is, is it less "cruel" to separate these kids and put them with family or vetted foster families while the parents go through the system, or to keep them in family shelters a la the Superdome post Katrina, "tent cities" for Cubans, etc. And if it's indeed the latter, as I lean towards, what steps need to be taken to achieve that, passing a law allowing it, funding for these shelters, temporary shelter solutions, etc.
