And, you can just own it.
There's no need to falsely claim the new policy is a historical one, nor to ignorantly claim that being removed from their parents and placed in a detention facility is somehow an upgrade for these kids.
If a zero tolerance policy protects just one child from being reunited with an adult that is not any relation to the adult and is a threat to the child so be it. I honesty do not believe the children are being treated poorly as many news organizations have been portraying. That is my feeling and I believe and trust the border organization to do the right thing. It's not like there are a bunch of criminals watching over these kids. And they are not going to do them any harm.
Showing video of a toddler crying is photo ops, every single child cries sometimes they cry for over an hour. It's nothing new and is expected.
I trust the detention facility, what I do not trust are the people bringing children to the border, crossing illegally and using children for their own gain.
If they go to a port of entry it is not as bad, but if they scuffle across the border through an area that is not policed then they are committing a crime.
That's my position for what its worth. And it won't change a thing.
