The fact that it would take me upwards of 10 minutes on a whiteboard to prove the basic context you'd need to fully understand my subsequent 10 minute rant goes a long way in itself to explain how "unspeakably inhumane" has become the default setting for US immigration policy
In short: this provision already permanently separates families over nothing. This interpretation will separate many more families in the largest federal circuit over nothing.
The Trump family separation crisis was a multimedia flashpoint of injustice anyone could see + understand. But the 25-yr family separation crisis this decision exacerbates was enthusiastically passed into law by Dems, including the one now running the country, in #IIRIRA. #Fix96

This is one of the oldest and stupidest arguments used by racists to justify their abhorrent policies.

A country is NOT like a home. It's public. It does business with other countries. It's supposed to have goods, ideas, services, and people crossing its borders.

Homes don't.
Racists like to say "there's no country without a border."

Bullshit. A country is defined by the people in it, not an overcompensating wall.

And lol at "border security." They mean "border militarization." It's hard to argue against security, but let me try.
What's safer?

1. A border people die trying to cross, and if they make it, they're arrested, detained, and ripped from their families
2. A border across which people can share ideas, goods, or a conversation and a meal

Borders should be PROSPEROUS. Security will naturally flow.
