But dragging the kids across a thousand miles of crime infested desert had no ill effects. That’s curious.
When I was starting out and living in “affordable” housing, we had to buy roach traps. I remember once we caught a big one, but since it was only one, we put the trap back. A few days later we checked it again, and there were lots of tiny roaches stuck in there, but the big one was gone. It had crawled out using its offspring to get away. Kind of reminds me of these illegals.
Here is a corollary to this saga.
If Mrs DoodleBob and I were scofflaws and were pondering illegally entering Lichtenstein and thought the likelihood of us being separated from the little DoodleBobs was high, we'd stay at home. We love our kids too much to take that chance for a AAA rated country.
To be fair, this threat of separation was small under the Obama regime. And, to be sure, a parent may face a Hobson's choice in staying in, say, North Korea vs risking separation. I get it.
So...the question to ask is: if Mexico isn't NK - it's not a sh**hole, remember? - and since the parents know they MAY be separated since Trump has been around for about 18 months - everyone knows there's a new sherif in town... what does it say about the parents, that they're willing to risk separation from their flesh and blood, in breaking the law?
