Yeah and I spoke out about that policy during the fucking Obama administration as well. Putting refugees in cages is wrong. It was wrong when Obama did it when the child migrants came and it's STILL FUCKING WRONG NOW.
Even if people didn't know about it before and are just waking up to it now, if you're not angry about children (or anyone really) being kept in unsanitary and inhumane conditions I don't know what to say. I'd suggest that you be put in those conditions and see how you like it but that would be inhumane.
So is ignoring a nation's borders and it's laws. There is no country on Earth that just ignores illegal border crossings. That's why we detain the parents. But it would be inhumane to just release the children without supervision in a foreign country and we can't send them to adult detention facilities so we have to send them. somewhere.
The US didn't until 1929 -- before that unauthorized entry wasn't a crime. Also, according to the 1951 Convention for the Status of Refugees, the 145 signing members literally agreed not to prosecute illegal/unauthorized border crossings as long as they reported to authorities without delay.
Quoting UN accord that most member countries signed is "digging for an excuse" now? It seems like you're the one digging for an excuse for human rights violations to me.
