Or he sees desperation in your rationalization attempts.

Incorrect: an illegal border crossing is a *misdemeanor*.
Plus the caveat of "illegal" does not apply when an individual presents
themselves at a border and asks for asylum - - that is LEGAL.
And FYI, what is *illegal* is for a Customs Agent to falsely record an
asylum request as an 'illegal crossing'.
If you want to claim that this is merely an "obey the law" debate, then
the US Customs Agents have to too.

Except that under this rationale, that parking ticket you got would similarly
result in your children being taken away from you.

False premise equivalency - - there's many people who *also* care about that,
including the question of Society providing supportive alternatives to abortion,
such as health & nutrition programs such as Medicare & SNAP.
As such, the attitude of the Right is to FORCE the child to be born, only to then
deliberately make them suffer for being poor/disadvantaged for years & years, in
malnutrition, poor education and poor health until they die prematurely.
The facts of the matter are that if the Right really wanted to reduce this segment's
"burden on Society", their policy would be to do it as early as possible, which
would mean aggressively providing birth control services.
...but that program's been targeted & cut too. Because poor people shouldn't
be able to enjoy sex either: pregnancies are being used as a form of punishment.

The reports are that during prior administrations, separation was the (rare) exception
and not the formal policy objective.
Greg needs to go find the data that supports his insinuation, which was that
separation was mainstream and not a rare exception.

In the meantime, where's your outrage for the private email accounts CURRENTLY
being used in the Trump Administration?
