Keeping immigrant children in cages with foil blankets for comfort is is immoral, regardless of the law, and regardless of which party does it.

We knew it the instant we saw those photos - and we only backed off from it as to those first photos when we learned that those photos were taken under Obama's watch.

I abhor relative morality based on political affiliation. There are many places where we excel - immigration is not one of them.
