> it's fine to spend billions of dollars of taxpayer money to deliberately cause more injustice?

To enforce the law and to prevent these injustices to happen in the future. How are you causing more injustice? That's sort of like saying "Why spend money to evict squatters in houses they don't own? They have children, and it costs money to evict them."

Childhood arrivals are definitely squatters. If they're not born in the states or citizens. They're here when they shouldn't be here.

Those that were born here are citizens, and get the choice like every other citizen - move to be with their families, or stay here alone. The fact that they're children is immaterial.
