Crossing the border is. And before you babble about the UN. The US never signed the 51 convention.
That is because of lack of funding. ICE does not take people out of CBP as it has funding issues too. Blame Congress as they control the funding. Blame the Dems as they do not want to fund immigration systems which POTUS has full authority over.
Because a lot of the allegations are BS and the Dems know it. There is overcrowding for sure. But some of the worse allegations, like a guard telling a detainee to drink out of the toilet for instance, have been debunked. Didn't help that AOC falsified pictures of her crying in front of an empty parking lot as if she was looking at a detention facility, or that Cory Booker and some of the other Dems committed felonies by aiding people across the border, both physically and by giving advice on the net.
A congressional investigation would come back to haunt the Dems and hurt them even further.

The ones under discussion in this thread are children.
The adults cannot leave anytime they want, as already mentioned.
Of course it is.
And it's a big problem that the Trump administration lost a bunch of those kids instead of reuniting them with their families.
Yes, you can.
They absolutely are.
Yes, they would. Trump's policies are backwards and cruel.
You mean like the children in Child Protective Service custody?

OMG! Disgusting. I already think we should start a new underground railroad for immigrants. I want to help. I can't believe how they are being treated. Our country should be so ashamed.

If it was my daughter I wouldn't force her to illegally cross the border into another country breaking many laws so that she could get arrested and detained to begin with.
Yes you would if her life was in danger in your country unless you didn't love her enough to care if she was murdered.

So if a person jaywalks or commits some other misdemeanor, are they thrown in jail and are their kids taken away from them and locked up in cages with foil blankets?

So, as long as these people are not abused, and given free passage back to their
own countries, you are okay with that?
Nope
No, you cannot legally release a minor to someone that is not their parent, without their parents permission.
Nah
Trump hasn't changed any law regarding the detainees. The only reason conditions are horrible is because of the crazy amount of people flooding in illegally.
Dragging your kid through 2 or more countries over 1600 miles to cross several border illegally is not a safe way to protect her.

That might be their only option. They could be desperate. Have a heart.
Flying from Africa or Asia to Brazil, traversing through a central America to cross into America through the Mexican border are not destitute asylum seekers. They could easily have come in through a recognized port of entry and claimed legal asylum, they went the route of illegal immigration for a reason. High probability this reason is for nefarious reasons like trafficking drugs, or child sex slaves.
Being kind is one thing, allowing someone to take advantage of you while they pee in your cheerios is another.

Some simply do not seem to understand, or they don't want to understand, the conditions in the Northern Triangle Countries that are driving families to take extraordinary chances by leaving. Besides political upheaval and massive crime problems, there's a severe drought that's been taking place down there, and a great many of these people were farmers on relatively small parcels of land or who were working on larger farms.
Also, this idiotic administration in Washington cut aid to these countries, and they haven't even tried to go through different channels down there that could at least help somewhat.
BTW, one can access at least some articles that cover this on-line at the "America" (Jesuit) magazine website. I have a subscription to their magazine, and in just about every issue there's at least one article that covers some aspect of this on-going tragedy.
