> So if something's legal it can never be a human rights violation?

I said it was far fetched. Many legal things can be considered morally wrong but without a consensus of what's morally right or wrong, the law is what we fall back on.

What are you proposing, doing whatever feels good at the moment while ignoring the law?

Thankfully morals don't depend on what is currently popular. Of course, mass deportations are also unpopular.

I'm proposing that we don't tear families apart for no benefit.
