There are only 3 options we have for dealing with families illegally crossing into the country. Separate children from families, place families together into detention centers, or let the families go free.
The 3rd option we cannot tolerate, and the second option is irresponsible as it's possible many children are being smuggled by human traffickers into the country and may not actually be related to the adults they are with.
Therefore separating children from parents, while uncomfortable, is the only responsible solution we have to a very challenging problem.
Given the significant numbers of people trying to illegally crossing into the country from the southern border - over 50,000 last month - the border must be fortified so the complications and challenges of dealing with illegals can be avoided altogether.
