The right wing's new propaganda defends family separation with a false dichotomy:
"It's either family separation or OPEN BORDERS!"
"The Dem alternative is OPEN BORDERS!"
This is a false scare tactic out of ignorance or bad faith.
Here's the Feinstein bill:

"It's either family separation or OPEN BORDERS!"
"The Dem alternative is OPEN BORDERS!"
This is a false scare tactic out of ignorance or bad faith.
Here's the Feinstein bill:

2/ Sen. Feinstein's bill ends family separation. But it does nothing to interfere with law enforcement of the border or immigration law. There are many ways to keep families together while maintaining immigration law. Bush and Obama administrations used GPS ankle bracelets...
3/ "The Bush and Obama administrations generally declined to prosecute adults who were caught traveling with their children, handling them through an administrative process or releasing them with GPS ankle bracelets." time.com/5316270/family…
4/ Here's an example of a conservative with a conscience rejecting this propaganda. Thank you, @sarahrumpf.
5/ But then there's Kellyanne Conway:
6/ And @realDonaldTrump setting up this boogey-man false dichotomy to defend family separation. Trump: "Those are the only two options, totally open borders or criminal prosecution for lawbreaking."
7/ GOP Sen. candidate Josh Hawley (@HawleyMO), smearing @clairecmc with this vile "open borders" attack propaganda. Hawley is a demagogue who stands with Trump on this fascist policy. "Illegals," Josh? Humans. Some are legal asylum seekers.
Right on cue, @realDonaldTrump just quadrupled down on this lie. “Dems want Open borders” is false propaganda to defend an evil, fascist policy. If you echo this propaganda, you stand for family separation, racism, and fascism.
@realDonaldTrump quintupled down on the lies, blaming Democrats, but he has no answers. He is dangerous because he is cornered - and he put himself in that corner. I have a theory about why he's doing this.
