I feel horrible for kids who had parents deported in #ICEraids but I think our media is being irresponsible using their pain as propaganda to allow illegal immigration.

If I broke the law & went to jail my kids would be inconsolably sad. That doesn’t mean I don’t go to jail.

Anytime traumatic events involve kids, it’s unquestionably sad but the parents knew this was a possibility when they didn’t comply with the law. It’s not heartless to enforce our laws. A guy embezzling money may be a great dad but they still have to answer for their actions.

American children are separated from their parents and even put into foster care where they’re at higher risk for abuse. This happens everyday for non-violent crimes. Media rarely talks about these kids. Why? Why is it okay for them to be separated but not illegal immigrants?
