I know there were cases of families crossing illegally and then surrendering at borders. You sure that's not what the fine folks at Amnesty International were referring to?
If I am mistaken and US policy forcefully separated families that we allowed into this country legally then I fully support providing those families with the counseling they deserve. If you broke the law first, then I cannot support funding your treatment.
You want to try again? Maybe those fine unbiased folks at Amnesty International were right, and you came in with a preconceived position that was false?

Quote:McALLEN, Texas — After criminals killed his uncle and cousin and warned that he was next, José fled Honduras fearing for his life. He crossed Mexico with his 3-year-old son and arrived in mid-May at the Hidalgo Port of Entry on the U.S. border to claim asylum.
But even though he entered the U.S. legally at an official border crossing, where the Trump administration promised asylum-seekers would not be prosecuted or separated from their children, José was detained and had his son taken away, according to advocates who are helping with his case.
