Fathers Sue U.S. Government After Being Separated From Children at Border, Seek $3 Million Per Person
Three fathers who were separated from their young children when they tried to migrate to the US want millions of dollars in compensation from the US government for the toll the months of separation took on their families.

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) and law firm Covington & Burlington filed administrative claims Thursday seeking damages from the US government on behalf of three men who were separated from their children at the border. The separation caused lasting harm for the families, the advocacy group and law firm said in a news release

Honest question: if a person knowingly commits a crime and is imprisoned for it and in so being is separated from his children, is that not analogous to what this guy is complaining about?

Were these people showing up to the border openly and honestly and planning on going through the legal process or were they border jumpers? I'm pretty sure it's the latter.

Fuck these sob stories. I don't care.
Why aren't the "parents" responsible in any fashion for their shit life choices?
Get caught breaking the laws of a foreign country? Deal with the consequences.
And fuck the lawyers making a dime off any of this. May they suffer eternal crotch rot.

I wouldn't go that far. After all, border jumping shouldn't be a death sentence.

However, based on the behavior of the fathers in putting their children in unnecessary risk, I would immediately remove the children from their custody permanently. The fathers would then be sentenced for breaking the Law.

"The separation caused lasting harm for the families,"
So are military service members eligible too? What about over the road truckers? What about DHS,FBI and the state Dpmt when sent overseas to an unfriendly place without their families?

Because we are not "elsewhere".
"Elsewhere" is the kind of place that puts people in camps because of their religion/race/etc.
"Elsewhere" is the kind of place that kills people just because they don't like them.
All we should be doing is upholding our Laws.

Arrest them. Then deport them after they have had their trial.


Don't be like "elsewhere".
