A Border Patrol agent who separated migrant families says it was 'the most horrible thing I've ever

A Border Patrol agent says separating migrant families in the spring of 2018 was "the most horrible thing I've ever done."

The officer, Wesley Farris, told PBS's "Frontline" that he had to separate a devastated two-year-old boy from his family, and that he refused to do it again afterwards.

"The world was upside down to that kid," Farris said. "I said at that one, 'I'm not doing this anymore.'"

Thousands of families were separated under the Trump administration's "zero tolerance" policy criminally punishing migrants for crossing the US-Mexico border illegally.

4. They interviewed a nine year old girl who had been returned to Guatemala

She and her father had entered the US at El Paso and were immediately separated. She spent some time in an overcrowded El Paso facility and then was shipped off to Cayuga in New York state. She said conditions were a little bit better there but she didn't like being all alone. She told the case workers she wanted to go home. After doing the requisite paperwork they let her return to her home village. She seemed happy in the interview and she said she never wanted to return to the United States ever again.

7. That's exactly the reaction Trump wanted from her, and anyone else who they put through

our government's version of hell.
Let it be known throughout Central America that Trump will punish you children if you try to enter his america.
It's the message he wants to send, and he is using children to deliver it.
That girl seems happy now, but she will carry the emotional scars of that experience with her throughout her life.

What a horrible human being Trump is!

5. GOOD FOR HIM !!! That's child abuse and breaking the law. The parents were LAWFULLY seeking help in

... the us via asylum laws and Trump policy had people kidnapping children.

This is some bullshit here.

6. All of the border patrol employees should

Strike on this matter. Refuse to do that work. It's morally wrong.

8. Every DHS employee & Trump adm official should be required to watch the 2000 Nuremburg movie...

... might help them sort their ethics & values out

9. This ...

Thousands of families were separated under the Trump administration's "zero tolerance" policy criminally punishing migrants for crossing the US-Mexico border illegally.

What is illegal about requesting asylum?
Asylum is a legal form of entering the US, but Pendejo45 doesn't believe that.
