All fair points, but in my opinion no government, no democrat, no republican, no one should ever separate a 17month old child from their mother in the course of enforcing an immigration policy. Ever.Clearly very traumatic. I am happy she is reunited with her mother. A mother and her young child should never be separated, regardless of the circumstances. But I wonder why her mother didn't try and enter the country legally? Or why she didn't settle in Mexico, which is a safe country compared to where she came from? I'd love to live in the States, but I am not allowed, and I have no intention of trying to enter illegally.
It is also possible that the mother was seeking asylum, which is legal to do.
