I honestly cannot. There is almost nothing worse than losing your kids. It might be worse than death. The humane solution is to allow a deported parent to keep them.


Ok, let's try some empathy and humane thinking: you don't throw out either of them in that case.


So basically create a huge incentive to drag very sick kids through the darien gap and cartel land with no real plan for foid and housing of their kids? If i did 1% of that someone would call cps to take my kids.


The incentive already exists. But this case is about US citizen kids, not kids brought in. So concentrating on that:

> The families, who had lived in the United States for years and had deep ties to their communities

> Both families have possible immigration relief

The current actions did not make sense and didn't make anything better or solve any problems.


Valid points. The question is after a judge orders a deportation and the executive is insistent on carrying it out, what would you do with citizen kids after the deportation of their parents?


So you'd create extra incentive for having anchor babies in the US? At least the people doing this now have to wait until their anchors become adults and can petition for them.


Thereby establishing the president that breaking the law will go unpunished so long as you procreate. Doesn't feel very empathic, fair or humane to me, especially when the precedent kicks in.
