How many children of citizens in this country have both parents in prison? Making this comparison is fallacious because you are comparing people who are in this country with (most of the time) an established system of support already in existence with people who come here with nothing and no ties here. All that being said, I am also in fair of incarcerating fewer people for minor offenses in general and for shorter periods of time when they are, as well as an end to cash bail. So those sorts of things would mean solutions similar to what was done with previous administrations to avoid family separation.
