I see your thousands, and raise you hundreds of thousands.

What is this? Comparing who has the bigger stick? Who harms more people?

Any system has injustices; we cannot prevent that. But willfully enacting forcible family separation was not an accident.

Hundreds of orphans is bad enough.

Absolutely, hundreds of orphans is bad enough. (Except they aren't exactly orphans - we didn't kill the parents. They're long-term separated from their parents, though, which is pretty close.)

Hundreds of thousands is a thousand times worse. So, yeah. Not equivalent.
