But even those attempting to cross illegally, such a pathetically, inhumane treatment cannot be excused. So many children who may never find their parents again because the administration, in addition to subjecting them to subhuman treatment, failed to even keep track of families they separated.

I'm not sure why this is a shock though, criminals still have rights. The idea that someone did something illegal so we don't have to treat them humanely is an archaic view and one that adds to the recidivism rate we see in this country.

From what i understand the policy separated those asylum seekers that crossed the border illegally. Do either of you have a link(s) showing where asylum seekers who crossed into the country legally were separated from their family?

it is my opinion that the parent put the child in harms way; not our laws.
