Rep. John Curtis is right. The practice of government agents tearing children literally from the arms of their parents as their families seek asylum from failed states in Central America is “abhorrent.”
But he and the rest of the Utah delegation are wrong if they throw up their hands and say there will be no end to the disgraceful practice until Congress finally does something it hasn’t been able to do for years — pass a comprehensive immigration reform bill.
Reports of upwards of 1,400 children taken away from their parents at the border should do nothing but sicken good people everywhere, no matter what they think about immigration, asylum and the Dreamers.
