It is Trumps decision to seperate children from their parents.
The detainment can be done compassionately.
Republicans prefer to terrorize families
This is the SCAM-LIE of the left. They pretend that illegal alies kids are being abused, not treated
"compassionately", and tht the kids are being
"terrorized"
OK. So that's the big Democrat scam job. We've all heard it. Now let's get a good close up look at the
TRUTH >> and how Trump really is very compassionately treating these illegal alien kids >>
Under Obama, carefully kept hidden, illegal aliens' kids were separated and really WERE abused, and kept under awful conditions. Here are some photos of that >>
I'm major contrast to that, now in the Trump administration, illegal kids are being treated like practically like royalty. Note the difference.

The Department of Health and Human Services hosted Breitbart News and other media on a tour of a facility in El Cajon, California, on Friday June 15, where migrant children are being sheltered after being separated from their parents. The facility at El Cajon, however, is not a “cage.” as was during the Obama years. It is now, a comfortable facility providing lodging, meals, clothing, medical care, education, recreation, counseling, and other services.
It is run by a nonprofit organization called
Southwest Key as part of the
Department of Health and Human Services’ Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) Program, run by the
Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) in the Administration for Children and Familes (ACF).
The facility is located on a main street in a quiet, suburban neighborhood. It has 65 beds, occupied by boys ages 6 to 17. The rooms are spare, with three to four beds in each; the boys are responsible for cleaning the rooms and making their own beds. There is an outdoor recreation area with picnic tables and a small soccer pitch. There is a classroom area, and English lessons. The goal is “reunification”: letting each child depart with a legal guardian.
90% of the children at the shelter arrived at the border without adults; the other 10% were separated from the adults accompanying them. When the children arrive — usually brought by U.S. Border Patrol agents — they are greeted in the “intake” office, where they receive any urgent medical care, are assigned a case worker, and are given food, a shower, and
new clothing. They are also given toiletries and lessons in hygiene — literally how to flush a toilet, brush their teeth, and operate the shower, which some of the children may have never seen in their lives.
The kids have limited access to telephones to call relatives, both in the U.S. and abroad. They receive therapy, both as individuals and in group sessions. They enjoy field trips to local museums, parks, and the zoo, where they can explore the city beyond the shelter. And they also have social activities, including a recent “prom” for which they dressed up.
The real scandal is how the media have portrayed the shelters. When MSNBC’s Jacob Soboroff toured a similar facility this week in Brownsville, Texas, for example, he
referred to the children there as being “incarcerated,” which is only true in the same sense that hospital patients, too, are not permitted to leave, for their safety.
Southwest Key has operated its facilities — 27 in total, across California, Arizona, and Texas — since 1997, when the U.S. Supreme Court decided in
Flores v. Reno that unaccompanied illegal alien minors could not be held in detention facilities. This is not a new problem, even though it took Trump to make the media realize it existed.

Note: the photographs of the tour were provided by HHS after review by officials to ensure the privacy of the children in the shelter. Journalists were not allowed to take their own photos or videos, for the same reason.
