"undocumented long-term residents" should be "illegal immigrants"

[RealKindOne]

I guess we can start calling bank robberies "Undocumented loans".

Stop trying to sugarcoat people breaking the law. Yeah sure the system sucks, but people are still breaking the law.

Unnecessarily separating thousands of young children forcibly from their parents is child abuse. Isn't child abuse illegal in the USA? I believe it is, but I welcome correction if I'm wrong about this.

"Unnecessarily"? I was under the understanding it's the law that children must be detained separately from parents when they illegally try to enter the country. This is not true for asylum seekers who go to border patrol offices (they don't get separated from children).

I could be wrong on this, I'm no expert on law, but would be happy to hear the real gist of it.

I'm very happy for you that you don't feel that same way as I do or the other signers of the petition, but go troll someone else, because I ain't for it.
