A terrible thing, but who did it to the children? President Trump? No. Their parents. However, in mitigation, I have to admit that their parents were suckered into coming illegally by President Obama and his Administration who let it be known that they would be welcome, that the immigration laws of the US would not be enforced. Still, people must take responsibility for their choices. That's a fundamental rule. With freedom and liberty comes responsibility. If a person can't take responsibility, they don't belong in America.

Capt Gregory Prickett - Unlike some President, he is enforcing the law. You know, the law, that thing you studied. If you have a problem with the law, where do you go to resolve it? The cop? The border guard? The President? No, the Congress. ...and once again your insults are useless. When will you learn that I am not moved by them. They simply make you appear pathetic and, yes, I pity you..

Capt Gregory Prickett - Now you're being obtuse. No, I'm not going to explain the story. It's out there for everyone to read the facts surrounding the separation families and the laws pertaining to those instances. You just love to call "bullshit" and then sit back to see who you've annoyed. Sorry, but being angry with you and your nonsense would be like getting angry with a person who has a broken leg is limping

Capt Gregory Prickett - It's not a question of law, it's a question of facts. And screaming "Bullshit" every post simply doesn't make it "Bullshit". Now, I'm done with you for the day. Take your "victory lap" and then take a nap. It seems you need one

CPT Jack Durish Its truly amazing to watch the temper tantrums being thrown over this issue. Where are the progressive elected representative plans for overhaulong the law? They're at the back of the line behind threats of impeachment, tax increases, and climate change. In essence, they have no plan but to stomp, scream, and get photo ops for their constituents back home.

I do not like this policy. I think immediate family deportation is called for.

Originally I did not like this policy but then I realized a few things. One, if I commit a crime as a US Citizen that locks me up, I do not get to take my children to jail with me. The parents here are committing a crime. Two, we have to stop all these coming to the borders and entering illegally. I have worked with the Border Patrol and taken care of people the Coyotes will leave for dead at the drop of a dime. Eight to ten thousand dollars to be smuggled and maybe survive, cost my wife from visa to citizenship $2,000. Separating the children is no where near as cruel as to what happens on the border in part because of lax immigration rules.

Capt Nick S - We treat people and the world better than most all the countries in the world and if we are not careful, that will dry up and we help no one.

Capt Gregory Prickett - While I agree with you regarding asylum, the folks at our southern border are smart and how do you react when everyone that shows up claiming asylum? I live in El Paso and the news just focused a lady seeking asylum from Guatemala. Why does she need to seek it here when another country, Mexico is in her travels before the US? If life is so bad in your home country, then the nearest foreign land is where you should seek asylum, not skipping several countries to get to the US.

Capt Gregory Prickett - It may not be my choice where people go for asylum but it is my responsibility as it is yours and every other citizens to ensure we do not fall flat on our face as country. If the world continues to use us as their problem solver and bank without providing into the system, eventually we will fail. We have to stand up to Mexico and say, "stop allowing these people to travel through you country to ours and help out with problems in Central America." The Roman Empire was mighty and failed and if we do not protect what we have, it will be all gone and we will be able to take care of no one.
