More incompetence from a chaotic administration. Separating kids, especially babies from parents is barbaric. It’s not like the Border patrol can care for them. Oh, hey lets pay some rich republicans to house them.

entering the country illegally is a crime.
if you commit a crime with your children you will be separated from your children.
just to say it in another way if you rob a bank and your kids are in the getaway car and they catch you you will be separated from your children. as Chief executor the Trump Administration is required to enforce existing US law. the fact that previous administrations have chose not to enforce the law should not make him the bad guy.
if Congress changes the laws the Trump Administration will have no choice what to do the will of Congress until then he's doing what he swore to do.

After they are born, no seems to care as much.

Chaotic administration, which is what happens when you attempt to rule by decree.
