Nazis didn't have anyone trying to run INTO Germany. And we don't bomb Mexico. My best friend was at one time an illegal alien but he is a citizen now. So your opinion that America should take everyone who comes? And when people illegally cross the border should they be held accountable or not?

No, can't let people enter illegally. They should be held accountable, but it doesn't mean that we have to separate them from their children or detain them for indefinite time.
They are not detained indefinitely, they also complain when people are held together, then they say Trump is keeping kids in adult jails. Usually they try to place kids with relatives in the US or send them home in 3 days.
They can be detained indefinitely, there are many of articles discussing it.
Lets be serious, keeping adults and kids on jail is one thing, keeping adult parents and their children together is another. It actually makes sense , deporting them together if they entered illegally and I would imagine it would be so much cheaper.
Still, the way the process was implemented is perverse. They can keep track of people's property, but not of parents and children. ... hard to believe that this has not been done this way on purpose.
Let's be serious, how can you know if someone is actually a child's parent or if they are a human trafficker? In cases where you are not sure then isn't the only right thing to do to separate them until you can figure it out for sure?
The detention facilities you have seen house children for 3 days maximum, the maximum can be extended to 5 days when there is a backlog, that is not indefinitely.
And the vast majority of the kids temporarily housed in those facilities were not separated from their parents, they came alone.
What has been done for what purpose?
I missed to make a comment ... some years back, it was published that thanks to some USA agency backed operation (I don't recall if it was CIA?) , thousands of firearms ended up in Mexico's drug cartels.
We aren't bombing Mexico but many other bad things get done to them.
Once again, to fix the illegal immigration problem we've to help fixing the root cause.
It was Obama's AG who lost a bunch of guns that ended up in mexico but of course that is irrelevant, the Mexican drug cartels don't need to get guns from the US, they can get them from anywhere, they like the best the ones we give to their military to fight them with, those are the best. Ending the war on drugs would go a long way to reducing illegal immigration but so would ending the policy of granting asylum to any unaccompanied minor or woman who claims she was abused. Those polices cause the unaccompanied minors to come.
