  1. Yeah prison tends to be cruel too. But people who break the law are still separated from their children and sent there. Prison is also cruel to the innocent children of the criminal, but that doesn't mean that we don't separate them.

  2. The parents are being held in a form of criminal detention. They broke the law when they entered the country illegally. If you can separate an accused drug dealer from their children, then you can separate an accused illegal immigrant. Both broke the laws, both are being criminally detained.

  3. Jail and prison in the US are about punishment, not rehabilitation. It is easy to see. People who go to prison are more likely to go to prison in the future. If anything, it is the opposite of rehabilitation.

  4. When I was young my dad went to jail for drinking and driving, and the government separated me from him. Ends up that if you do illegal things, you may get separated from your children.
