We are not separating children from their parents.
We are CARING for children while their CRIMINAL parents are utterly missing or in jail facing ILLEGAL immigration charges.
We CARE for the children, we don’t jail INNOCENT children with dangerous criminals!

The Guardian hates America. Think of Der Sturmer and Jews and you have The Guardian and America. Their comments section is even more hateful.

Why is this the business of a British paper?

Why is "Brexit" the business of an American paper?
