Why do Democrats, even Obama, think Republicans want to break up illegal immigrant families through deportation?

No explanation necessary, con. Democrats are well aware that republicans want 'double border fences with man eating alligators and moats and sniper shooters lined shoulder to shoulder' along the border. Your ignorant party leadership has emphatically stated so repeatedly.

Nevertheless, you actually have to pass a bill to create your double border fence. You have to actually PAY for it, not just whine about your own refusal to do anything over the past 6 years.

Glad I could clear that up for you.

The family unit comes before anything else. When the Father is an illegal alien---deport him---his wife---and his children---back to Mexico. But, by all means, keep the family together---in Mexico.

If you were born in The United States you are a citizen of The United States. It doesn't matter if you don't like it. That's the way it is.

IMO, sane people (i.e. conservatives) want a fair immigration system, with the laws & borders enforced.

For the love of God, what's the point of having a country with open borders?

Because we didn't think Republicans would so gleefully trample on the rights of US citizens like that. Now that we know, it is very disturbing. You become ever more like Nazis every day.

Find it interest we just saw tens of thousand of young boys and girls sent to America thousand of miles no parents to watch over them all to try and better their parent financial situation coming all the way thru Mexico by themselves all of us have seen some of those horn dog checking out 12,13 year old girls, God only knows what happen to them on their way to America but no one even talks of that

A nation that does not have absolute control over who crosses its borders is not a nation at all. It is mere territory.

They don't, they just say stuff for propaganda purposes.

It is impossible to break up a family by deporting one person. If that one person gets deported, then the rest of the family can leave the country along with the deported person, if keeping the family together is so important to them.

Nobody is stopping them from leaving. Just like nobody stopped them from coming here in the first place...
