I understand this is a very difficult situation to be in, my heart goes out to the migrants. I live in texas, and also work in the courts/government/law enforcement. However, i will agree that just bc you have kids, doesnt give u license to break the law and violate the US immigration law. I am shocked by trumps actions, however i think its bc we are sooo used to the law NOT being enforced for so long. Everyday at work i process paperwork and see undocumented ppl with dwi's, assault, robbery, and sexual assaults. There is a rule of law , and its sad to say some of these migrants are not following the law. There was always been a process to deport criminals however the process is complicated and slow. We cannot take every person innthe world. There has to be some better process to get ppl in amd kick ppl out. Its shocking to see families split up, but they created that situation when they snuck over here. I fear there are no good options that respect the law and our common humanity. Its either one or the other. Now on the other hand i can promise you, with all these arrests, private prisons are about to be full and public jails as well, there will be abuses no doubt and the detainees are going to probably be mistreated just to be deported. I dont like private jails and prisons, they are a hot bed of abuse, based on its model.
