I don’t equate your average criminal with an asylum seeker exercising their right, nor am I pro orphanage of children.And America did not have open borders before this zero tolerance policy. 😬
Nobody said we had open borders.
What is being said is:
-democrats whine the kids and parents are detained separately
-democrats then whine like weasels that they will be detained together
-democrats obviously don't want them deported
-this is effectively saying if you can get a hold of a child our borders are open to you

As a legal, now US Citizen, why do the left refuse to the see no nation can survive on open borders.The OP presented a false dilemma by suggesting that without zero tolerance we would have open borders yeah.
Even operating under a “catch and release” does not constitute open borders.

Catch and release needs to go as well. But leftists don't want that.
I just wish they'd flat out admit what they truly want. They do want open borders. Their presidential nominee for 2016 called for them.
They want everyone who wants to come here to be allowed to do so. The other day this immigration rights specialist was even arguing illegals that get caught driving drunk shouldn't be deported.

Right like I said, your pushing a false narrative and false dilemma to scaremonger with the open borders boogeyman, and create a nice straw man for yourself. Glad we agree.
How is it a false narrative when the person they nominated for president called for open borders?
How is it false when...after being given what they want and Trump saying they won't split up families...they whined like little b*tches about them being detained?
A catch and release policy is just as bad as having an open border. It tells illegals that come here "hey you can get away with it". And now some dems actually have the audacity to whine about the term "catch and release".
This entire situation reminds me of guns. Democrats say they do not wanna take away guns, but their own words later on end up betraying them. They do this more and more and people are getting wise to it.

Maybe that’s because those immigrants still face court proceedings and the threat of deportation. Nor does it apply to everyone, just those deemed not a risk. In other words: not open borders.
