2008? There is no federal law mandating separation of children from their families. She's talking apples and oranges--a consent decree about unaccompanied (noncitizen) children in 1997. She's just giving excuses for something that IMO is inexcusable.

There seem to be two issues here involving children.

First is what to do with the children when the parents are arrested for criminal activity?

Second, which doesn't seem to be getting a lot of media share is what do you do with the horde of unaccompanied minors that cross the borders illegally? I recall this in the news several years ago and from what I've read it has continued and some say has gotten worse. We have a bunch of unaccompanied children crossing the border, some of whom have attached themselves to families that are crossing, some are herded by human traffickers and some traveling alone just to get away from whatever hell they were living in their home country.

What is the solution to this? That's the hard call.
