Majority of Americans believe it's the parent's fault

Question, do we really want immigrants living here who would subject their children to this? Taking a small child across thousands of treacherous miles and then breaking into another country is not the sign of a good parenting. Even when the word was out that if you cross into America with kids they will be separated, they kept coming. Sad.

According to a new Rasmussen poll, a majority of Americans blame illegal immigrant parents for the child crisis on the border over the U.S. government.

The media has put a hyper focus on the separation of families at the border over the last several weeks, leading President Donald Trump to sign an executive order ending the separation. Current U.S. law does not allow families to be detained together if the parents are referred for prosecution for illegal border crossing.

However, the Rasmussen poll shows that Americans don’t blame the Trump administration for the approximately 2,000 children who have been separated from their parents.

54 percent of likely voters polled by Rasmussen said that they think the parents are more to blame for breaking the law.

If it keeps polling like that then the Dems will not have the political point they think they do right now.

A very important stat in the poll: 56% of the independents surveyed think parents who bring their children to the U.S. illegally are responsible for breaking the law.

Anybody without a political agenda would agree. I do.

Ultimately it is the parent's fault but Obamba's catch and release policy encouraged them to make the trip.
