Family separation cannot be replaced by family incarceration&imprisonment.
President Trump's current policies - as articulated in this Executive Order - will put children behind bars indefinitely&indiscriminately. That is intolerable in a free and democratic society.
Children will experience many of the same lasting traumas that they do now&the world will continue to watch the spectacle of the American government locking up innocent children and throwing away the key.
This policy hearkens back to the worst days of our country's history: Japanese children imprisoned w/their parents in World War II-era detention camps. History will judge us harshly if we permit this inhumane&immoral policy to be carried out without our protest&opposition.
