A few quick thoughts about the "migrant families" faux controversy.

As you are certainly aware the American media has only one thing on their mind right now and it is the border detention situation where some children are separated from their families. This is a total non-story and it is an obvious attempt to deceive people by playing to their emotions. A few thoughts.

1. It's very obvious that this was coordinated by the media to distract from other stories. The North Korea story is a huge positive for Donald Trump and the media was unable to spin it as a negative story for him, even though they tried. They are also trying to downplay the IG report that showed incredible bias at the FBI. That story is hugely negative for everyone that isn't Donald Trump even if the report downplayed the obvious and explicit bias. The media could have covered this story any time during the past few years but they didn't until now. That isn't a coincidence.

2. The idea that criminals with children shouldn't be separated from their families as their cases are processed is insane. Nobody would argue that a murder or a rapist should get the same privilege as people are calling for these illegal immigrants. People that break the law are punished by being separated from their families, that's just justice. Why should breaking border laws be any different? 

3. This policy is old and the exact same thing happened under the Obama administration. The famous picture of children in a cage was an Obama era happening and not a current one. Everything I have seen about current conditions shows that these children are being treated well as they can be under the circumstances.

4. It's extremely clear that there aren't any real arguments being made about immigration here and the only thing that is happening is a huge appeal to emotion. Generally speaking, if someone is screaming "won't someone think of the children?", it's a good chance that you are being manipulated.

I won't be covering this story anymore as I am sure, like DACA, Gun Control, the Russia conspiracy and every other media talking point about the Trump administration, it will fade into the background quickly. I just wanted to say something about the obvious manipulation going on here.
