    Trump creates a humanitarian problem by separating children from their parents. He takes credit for fixing his own problem.
    And then his administration can't even find some of the children he took away from their parents.

    This administration has no compassion and no competence. Just waiting for the Trump supporters to come along and defend Trump for separating kids from their families and having no idea where the kids are now.

    The plan was never to reunite. So, who's actually profiting from this separation and incarceration? That should be illuminated as it may go to the actual motive unless it was purely political, then, if so, quite a stupid gamble.

    Well, seeing as kids show up alone at the border and many kids show up with people that are not their parents or legal guardians, the mess is not of Trump's creation. I have heard that they are running DNA tests to prove who belongs to whom. Probably a lot of surprises will come out of that, but aren't you Lefties happy that such care is being taken?
    Of course not.

    I continue to struggle to understand the apparent support for allowing child traffickers and other such evils the opportunity to get away with their objective.

    Families arriving with acceptable documentation are being kept together, as proved through the fraud Time Magazine attempted with their ill advised cover picture.

    Those who are caught on the US side of the border with no documentation, and no proof of familial ties are dealt with differently until the claimed relationships can be confirmed.

    Why the left's media, and liberals in general ignore this fact is bizarre.

    The issue is that the government cannot find some of the children it has taken away from their parents. It cannot account for all those children.

    That is a disgrace, and that disgrace is on Trump. He is not acknowledging that it is his fault (which it is), and he is not doing anything about it.

    Disgusting. Disgraceful.

    The children have not vaporized. They will connect the dots.

    Perhaps CBP can apply the methodology Obama created when the same thing was occurring and the left was mostly silent.

    No, wait.....

    Care to touch on the left's demand to keep people together than may not belong together?

    the parents voluntarily separated themselves from their own children by not voluntarily turning around and leaving

    This mess will exist into October. Trump is foolishly letting it linger on. Imagine if he wasn't pressured to stop it so soon. There could be 10 thousand kids separated from families right now.

    This story needs to be translated into Spanish, printed out and stapled to every telephone pole south of the border.

    That was Trump's original idea - make the humanitarian consequences so awful that it would dissuade illegals from crossing the border. But it didn't prevent them, and the awful humanitarian consequences happened. That is 100% on Trump.

    This is an actual policy failure by the Trump administration.

    Separating kids - sometimes infants - from their families, and not able to find the kids or put the families back together. And you don't want to address the policy failures of the Trump administration. All you want to do is say, "I want to cause as much misery as possible for people who are willing to risk it all for a chance at a better life."

    Oh, so much drama.

    So much for ripping these kids off the breasts of their mothers. We now leave this story for the next Progressive faux outrage.

    The Trump administration only enforced the laws on the books.

    So lazy of you when you know the truth.

    A court ruling, but perhaps not a law.

    Funny thing happened on the way to the detention and separation facility, you'll never guess who I ran into!

    It wasn't Kirstjen M. Nielsen. It was Jeh Johnson! How did that happen?

    While it appears that way, another possibility is that they didn't care if the kids were ever reunited with their parents or not. Neglect, not a master evil plan.

    I was responding to a post claiming lost kids. Just a bit different don't you think? So what number is acceptable to you for just releasing the illegals? If not zero tolerance, would you say 75% tolerance? 50%? How about 24%? What percent would you like to see set free to go wherever they want?
