Why aren't these kids going to Costa Rica or Panama? Those countries closer, don't require crossing a thousand miles of desert, and they have lower violent crime rates than the US.
Also, plenty of areas of Mexico are peaceful and gorgeous. There are shithole areas because of gangs just like in the US.

If the government has no policies, systems, or even plans in place to reuinite the children and their parents, yes it is.
Also, families who claimed asylum at the boarder, which they are legally allowed to do, also had their children kidnapped. They did not enter illegally nor were they arrested.
Is this after the individuals were able to show they were related? If so, that isn't suppose to happen at all. Unfortunately, plenty of people will try to cross the border with kids that aren't theirs because they think it will increase their chances of getting into the country or because they're actually human traffickers trying to avoid serious charges.
And it was happening to REFUGEES and not just criminals. Refugees that followed the proper protocol and they were still separated and deported without their kids. That is kidnapping.

Nice, go right to conspiracy theories.
Did they cross at an official US crossing and claim asylum? If they didn't and were picked up by boarder patrol just randomly crossing somewhere along the border it pretty much kills their chances of claiming refugee status.
Do you live here in the US? Call up a border patrol office and ask them how often human traffickers and drug dealers try to claim children that aren't theirs. DHS never even released how many of the kids they detained were ever with a parent or legal guardian to begin with.

Yes, I'm moral enough not to send my kids across the desert with human traffickers that will claim to be their mom or dad at the US border most likely after molesting or raping them.

You’re seeing millions and millions of kids reporting touching? What kind of child porn are you watching?
I on the other hand believe this:

“It’s technically not torture”
Seems to be a common thing with this administration
“It’s technically not a crime”

I remember a time when the internet was considered a dark place where everything was sarcastic by default... When did we turn into fantasy lala land where the crazy is the new normal?
I remember when it happened to me. 9/11 happened and an Australian friend I was chatting with in those days immediately said "This is going to change the world" I said "How?" and she said "Americans will overreact and the whole world will be different, this is really, really bad"
I scoffed at her, but in hindsight. I should probably ask her for lottery numbers. She was bang on the buck, she even predicted Iraq. Something that seemed inconceivable to me. Back in 2001, mere days after the attack, she predicted that Bush would fuck Iraq up, basically to finish what his dad started. So unreal. I became a lot more sarcastic after that. The disappointment in humanity I have these days cannot possibly be described in words. And I'm not talking about the third world, I'm talking about the Western World that is supposed to be the beacon of progress. The fuck we are. The third world is probably scratching their heads going "Well, we could do that. What's so special about them?"
I don't know why I'm rambling... I hate the internet's destructive unregulation these days. Fantasies are sold as truths and there are no repercussions whatsoever. Humanity will have to learn to read all over again. Only this time, it's not actual reading because printing presses made it so important, this time it's learning how to evaluate information and filter the bullshit from the actual facts.

No worries, I'm a cynical person sometimes. Not everyone enjoys the freaky ride on the dark train.

"Take the time to sit down and talk with your adversaries. You will learn something, and they will learn something from you. When two enemies are talking, they are not fighting. It's when the talking ceases that the ground becomes fertile for violence. So keep the conversation going."
