But that wouldn't terrorize the parents and serve as a deterrent
"If you are smuggling a child then we will prosecute you, and that child will be separated from you as required by law," Attorney General Jeff Sessions said Monday at a law enforcement conference in Scottsdale, Arizona. "If you don't like that, then don't smuggle children over our border."
"We are dealing with a massive influx of illegal aliens across our Southwest border," Sessions said. "But we're not going to stand for this."
There's no "massive influx" of illegal aliens across our Southwest border. Apprehensions at the Southwest border are merely following historical trends and fell to a near historic (annual) low in 2015.
