"If you don't like that, then don't smuggle children over our border," the attorney general said Monday
WASHINGTON — The Trump administration plans to take a tougher approach to some families who enter the U.S. illegally by separating parents from their children, instead of keeping them in detention together.
"If you are smuggling a child then we will prosecute you, and that child will be separated from you as required by law," Attorney General Jeff Sessions said Monday at a law enforcement conference in Scottsdale, Arizona. "If you don't like that, then don't smuggle children over our border."
Administration officials explained that the goal of the program is 100 percent prosecution of all who enter the U.S. illegally. When adults are prosecuted and jailed, their children will be separated from them, just as would happen for a U.S. citizen convicted and jailed.

ReplyDeleteBe sure to post some signs on the other side of the border in at least ten languages. Blinking neon would be a nice touch.
ReplyDeleteLock them all up and sentence them to hard labor! That would solve a lot of problems in this country.
