This IS a new Trail of Tears. That is not hyperbole. And when Speaker Paul Ryan was asked if he had a problem with separating small children from their parents, he responded, "No, I do not." I cannot wait for Nov. 6. I cannot wait I cannot wait I cannot wait.

Maybe those parents shouldn’t be trying to illegally enter a country with their children in tow and then they wouldn’t be separated

All I’m saying is if they went about the process legally, they wouldn’t be in this situation

There’s a difference between understanding and just letting every single person into the country whenever they want when they don’t go through the proper procedure. Laws are a thing for a reason

The reasons folks emigrate are varied and a huge part of the equation. If done legally families would not be subject to separation. But that does not fit your narrative.

No, that’s not accurate. This is happening to people who are trying to seek legal asylum. This is not “my” narrative.
