Unfortunately, other reports—such as the five-month-long separation of a seven-year-old girl from her asylum-seeking mother or housing children as young as 10 within a former Walmart — suggest that both prolonged separation and care in an impersonal, institutional environment may be commonplace.

The sort of illicit border crossings that pedestrian fences are supposed to prevent have already fallen to very low levels (perhaps because of the already-build barriers, perhaps for other reasons), and the immigration conversation has moved on to other things — most notably, the treatment of asylum-seeking families from Central America.

The conservative Republican is spending the final days of her campaign warning voters about a caravan of asylum-seeking Central American migrants headed for the US and about a cavalcade of Trump-hating liberals eager to take over Washington, DC.

Despite refugee and human rights law prohibitions on rejecting and punishing people for seeking protection, the United States is turning asylum seekers away at its border, ripping children from the arms of asylum-seeking parents, criminally prosecuting asylum seekers for "illegal entry," and holding asylum seekers in immigration jails for long periods even if they meet the government's own release standards.

The Trump administration justifies its "zero tolerance" policy of prosecuting everyone who crosses into the US illegally — including asylum-seeking parents who are separated from their children by being placed in criminal jails — by saying that people who want asylum should seek it the "right way": by presenting themselves at an official port of entry into the US (like an official road checkpoint at the US-Mexico border) rather than coming into the country illegally between checkpoints.

And while the last grown-up was unable to restrain Trump from imprisoning asylum-seeking children, abusing his pardon power for Joe Arpaio, abusing declassification power, undertaking a partisan purge of the FBI, cheering the French far right, or issuing apologias for neo-Nazis, he finally decided to take his stand over Trump making the perfectly defensible decision to withdraw US forces from a hazily defined open-ended mission in Syria that lacked any legal authorization.
