    Should children be separated from adults when detained for illegally immigrating?

    It has become a major issue lately, that apparently the situation on the Mexico/US border has turned into a literal holocaust, with children being ripped from their parents arms and taken away to 'the showers' never to be heard from again. Should we be separating families in such a brutal manner, or should we allow children to be held with adults in detention facilities?

    This furor was set off by comments made on Morning Joe earlier this week:

    The law should be followed and enforced with immigration. It can be a bitter pill to swallow, but is necessary.

    Fuck no. It's an attempt to be petty, cause undue hardship and pain, and is an asshole thing to do. This is a shitty administration, and it will go down as one of the worst in this nation's history.

    LOL love that ridiculous title: like the Nazis!

    Wish I had been aware of that excuse when I was kid.

    Mom/dad: Take a shower before you go to bed.
    Me: You know who forced children to take showers? Nazis! That's right mom/dad: you're the same as a fucking Nazi!

    How very anti-freedom and big government of you.

    It's a shame how many "conservatives" have decided they hate things like individual liberty and limited government.

    But hey, at least you are exactly like the California liberals who want to take away people's guns...

    I suggest we take the children of criminals into jail as well. Heck, take the entire family. We don't want to separate families, after all.

    Yes, separate families, because you hate Mexicans, and don't want them working here. Nobody is shocked by this administration any longer.

    Feel free to continue shilling for this authoritarian government.

    Well said.

    I think it's fallacious to assume the law always has it right (If this is even the law?). This kind of discussion should go deeper than that.

    Stealing children away from their parents can have disastrous long term effects on mental health. This practice is a disgrace.

    So children should be kept in the same population as adults in detention facilities?

    Why is it that we don't house children and adults in the same prison facilities?

    I'd rather side with individual liberty, limited government, and the free markets on this one, thanks.

    Let them come here, let them earn their keep, and let them produce. God damn, freedom is fucking awesome. It's a shame you don't think so.
