It's not necessary to enforce with zero tolerance. It's counter productive because you lose support from reasonable people that are with you somewhat on border security
It's a political problem even for a President that gets away with just about everything. That's why he lies and warps the narrative about it even though it's related to an issue that many are with him on
I am of the opinion that zero tolerance creates more of an issue than it aims to combat. It's also below decency standards to treat children that way.
My suggestion is to stop zero tolerance, it truly serves no one and solves nothing.
How would you suggest ICE agents pick and choose who to detain?
this whole "zero tolerance" nonsense is approaching buzzwordery.

ICE isn't breaking up families just to be nasty. They are putting the parent(s) in jail.
Are you suggesting they should put the kids in jail too?
would family detention centers really be that hard to start?

His use of the phrase "separate but equal" probably falls into one of two categories:
1) He doesn't know or forgot about the significance of that phrase in US history
2) He's secretly playing 33D Chutes and Ladders and intentionally sent Leftists into meme-tier levels of triggerdom
honestly historical symbolism seems to have REALLY lost it's effect in regards to Trump. This whole border detention issue has invoked LOTS of japanese internment camp comparisons, which seems to have caused a lot of Pro-Trump people to forget that 10 years ago that was a universally held smudge on the US record. Now they're justifying it in hindsight to make modern political gains. its honestly sick.
Ghot for example did it as a reflex months ago when i drew the comparison on another issue.
