They are illegal.
Criminals are separated from their families every day in the United States. Most of those criminals are citizens.
Why should illegal immigrants be any different? Don’t do the crime if you can’t handle the penalty!
We don't have to separate them, they can go back to Mexico together.
I'm a first generation naturally born US Citizen. All thanks to my Grandma overstaying her Visa.
A Jew having the hutzpah to blame someone else after his own people went through the Holocaust and have been "illegal" everythings over the course of world history.

Talk about chutzpah!
Equating economic migrants (majority of Mexican and Central/South American illegals) to the Jews being massacred in the Holocaust.

That's what used to happen before this new policy.
Then again if Potus, the congress and everyone else were really serious, we would be going after the employers which is the real cause.

Children shouldn’t be used as a negotiating tool. @realDonaldTrump should end this heartless policy and Congress should get an immigration deal done that provides for asylum reform, border security and a path to citizenship for Dreamers. https://t.co/OOjv0vNeVg— Jeb Bush (@JebBush) June 18, 2018

This was the Establishment's "alternative" to Hillary. What alternative?

I agree here.
Any employer of illegals should get a day in jail (not a fine!) for every day of illegal employment.
But illegals are above all illegally lowering wages for the poorest American citizens. That they are doing this with the complicity of the US Chamber of Commerce does not take away from the fact that they are breaking our laws to make money at the expense of our most vulnerable citizens.
Christian leaders say otherwise.
“While protecting our borders is important, we can and must do better as a government, and as a society, to find other ways to ensure that safety,” Cardinal Daniel Nicholas DiNardo, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, said in a statement. ”Separating babies from their mothers is not the answer and is immoral.”
“Disgraceful,” the Rev. Franklin Graham, son of the late and influential Rev. Billy Graham and a supporter of President Donald Trump, said in a Tuesday interview. “It’s terrible to see families ripped apart, and I don’t support that one bit.”
Even Sessions’ own church, the United Methodist Church, is rejecting what he is doing.
“Tearing children away from parents who have made a dangerous journey to provide a safe and sufficient life for them is unnecessarily cruel and detrimental to the well-being of parents and children,” reads a statement signed by Bishop Kenneth Carter, president of the Council of Bishops of the United Methodist Church.
Sessions has drawn widespread condemnation for his “zero-tolerance” immigration policy, which separates children from their parents so the adults can be criminally prosecuted for crossing the border without documentation. But the attorney general hit another nerve Thursday when he claimed the Bible justifies his actions.
“Concerns raised by our church friends about separating families” are not “not fair or logical,” he said in a speech in Fort Wayne, Indiana. “I would cite you to the Apostle Paul and his clear and wise command in Romans 13 to obey the laws of the government because God has ordained them for the purpose of order.”
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders backed up Sessions’ claims later that day, calling it “very biblical to enforce the law.”
