Border Patrol officers have apparently been telling parents that they’re just taking their kids away to bathe, only for the parents to realize hours later the kids are never coming back. This is the exact same thing concentration camp guards told people before being taken to gas chambers to stop them from panicking, which has led to a lot of Nazi comparisons in the press.
Fox Host Laura Ingraham asked Sessions about these comparisons on Monday night. Here was his response: “It’s a real exaggeration. In Nazi Germany, they were keeping the Jews from leaving the country.”
The United States isn't the only country with an immigration crisis. Most of Western Europe is now confronting a similar problem.

The ability to work through two positions that juxtapose each other is asking an awful lot of the rube army. You could have two segments of Fox News run two counter narratives and the rubes would parrot both back no questions ask without realize one argues against the other.
Here I will refrain from writing a snarky post about wrangor claiming that Dems don't care and the past two Democratic presidents have done nothing to address the problem.
Here is data showing (with raw numbers at least) that the Obama Administration was more aggressive at pursing prosecutions and deportations that G.W. Bush: https://bipartisanpolicy.org/blog/the-prosecution-pipeline/. Though admittedly the prosecution rate grew un Bush and accelerated after policy changes in 2005, however Obama kept it up and even grew the prosecution rate in the first 2 years of his administration.
On May 5th, just after midnight, a Honduran woman named Ana Rivera and her five-year-old son, Jairo, tried to cross the U.S.-Mexico border. They were caught scaling a fence in El Paso, and spent the night in a holding cell at a U.S. Border Patrol station with other mothers and children, a group of about twenty-five people in all. On the afternoon of their second day in detention, two male agents entered the cell. “They didn’t say anything,” Rivera told me. “They just walked over and grabbed Jairo. It felt like my son was stuck to me. He clung to me, cried and screamed. They had to pull him away.” She pleaded with the agents to tell her what was going on. The other women in the cell were too stunned to speak, Rivera told me. In the next few hours, the agents started taking other children, too. Eventually, the mothers were told that they would be reunited with their children after spending a few days in jail.
