Nothing like ripping families apart and living children abandoned as their parents are shipped off to prisons on the other side of the country to flex a little federal anti-immigration muscle.

What a joke. These people risk their lives to come to this country, work hard jobs with low pay, and endure endless hate and bigotry, all because–like every wave of immigrants before them–they want to make a better life for themselves and their families.

Their “crime” was crossing a damned line in the sand.
