Point of fact, committing an illegal active in the US is grounds for having your children taken away. Committing an illegal activity is not grounds for deprivation of food, water, or shelter.

When you make the assertion that "Entering a country illegally doesn't deny you of basic human rights" are you contending that the families should be kept together or that a different basic right is being denied?

You're arguing that separating families for a misdemeanor with nothing else outstanding is morally valid.

It's a misdemeanor immigration offense, according to the ACLU & CNN's legal analyst.

How many other misdemeanors result in people's kids being summarily taken away?

Entering the country illegally is a misdemeanor. Do you also think people's kids should be taken away for shoplifting a Twix from a gas station store?
