sorry, I don't believe children are taken away from their parents and put in a guarded child camp, that has been charged with simply a misdemeanor....and has not gone to trial and been found guilty yet.
if it happens, it is very very very rare....
The point was that kids are being SEPARATED from their jailed parents. That has happened every day for the past 200+ years in America.
If the illegal alien kids are being put in a "guarded child camp" as you call it, that's because they are newly entering the country, and thus don't have relatives they can be put with. So what would you prefer ? That they be homeless, or in jail ?
We don't jail kids because of their parents' lawlessness. I've always agreed with that (whether American kids or foreign). Still do.
As for the word "guarded", being a protectionist, who is concerned with protection, "guarded" sounds like protection to me. A GOOD thing.
