People are still stuck up on the fact that children are being put in cages before being shipped out as if they aren’t coming in here illegally or being forced in by terrible parents or worse.

I’m reblogging this one because it’s my breaking point and it’s 4 AM and I’ve stopped giving a shit.

People are “stuck up” about it because they’re freakin’ children! If a family tries to sneak into the US, why the absolute fuck would you punish the fucking child by practically holding them hostage in a foreign country????

As if a five year old has any say in what risks their parents take???

As if immigrants are fucking animals who deserve subhuman treatment because they, including their kids, are criminals trying to spread their slime into the US???

What the fuck are you trying to say here???

The cages go back to the obama administration 

Everyone that has a child when they commit a crime, whether they are illegal or citizen, has their child taken away from them during the trial due to the matter of keeping the child safe from a potential criminal.

Not to mention the fact that a lot of the time we just have someone’s word that they’re a child’s parent, no actual documentation or papers to prove it, so we need to keep them separate under the possibility of the adult being a smuggler/pedophile/human trafficker/drug dealer trying to use the kid as a free pass to get into the country. 

Honestly, fine. Jail them however you need to, assume what you got to.

But what about reunification?

Despite those with ill intents, there are still real parents who find themselves deported, but unable to see or even talk to their children because they’ve been moved to some foster home or whatever deep in the states.

How could it be that parents can be deported and their kids are stuck in the United States for god knows how long? How can there be no effort in trying to track down separated children?

This is what I want to know.
