You can blame trump all you want...im fed up arguing the toss about it.

I will blame Trump because it's his administration that is responsible for state sponsored child abuse.
Try this thing called empathy, try putting yourself in the shoes of someone so desperate to enter a country that they'd do it illegally. These kinds of people rarely think 'Oh wow, let's go pillage the US' benefits system and it's totally bitchin' insurance based health system that would screw us over for generations just because I can't be bothered to find a job in Mexico'
No, people don't take risks like that unless they are desperate. To blame parents for their children being taken from them and mentally and emotionally abused doesn't fly.
You are either against this abhorrent practice or you are for it, no grey areas, no victim blaming, no blaming a previous administration. It's a black or white issue. You either think this is perfectly acceptable or you don't.

So you're supporting state sponsored child abuse because they are immigrants, okay.
