Separating parents from children is never a solution to scare migrants from coming in.
Putting the children in cages for years without being able to see their parents is not something Christians should be thinking of doing in order to scare most migrants and asylum seekers from coming in.
Reporters who visited a migrant detention centre in Texas say they saw 20 children in one enclosure.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection carried out almost half a million child detentions during the Trump administration, data shows. More kids were held for 72 hours or more.

Very Christian of all the GOP to think of doing the above.
There are asylum laws in the US, and the GOP chose to disregard it hoping that all migration, asylum seeking would stop if people got scared enough to not try to come in.
It did not work.

THE CLAIM: The same people who criticized how immigrant children were treated under the Trump administration and claimed Trump put “kids in cages” are now okay with the Biden administration doing the same thing.
AP’S ASSESSMENT: Missing context. Biden is reopening a surge facility first opened by Trump for teenagers who arrive at the border without their parents. A different facility, run by the Border Patrol, was a major focus of the “kids in cages” criticism in 2018, largely because the Trump administration held children there in cells partitioned with chain-link fencing after separating them from their parents. That family separation policy is no longer in effect.
THE FACTS: On Monday, the Biden administration reopened
a surge facility to house up to 700 immigrant teenagers who crossed the U.S.-Mexico border without their parents. The Trump administration originally
opened the facility in 2019 in rural Carrizo Springs, Texas, after converting it from a camp used by oil field workers.
