First it was applying the law that Obama screwed up. Soon the whole world knew that the Trump/Sessions ordering of the parents and their children to be separated was wholly their own decision, nothing to do with Obama.
The reason - to hold the children hostage for Trump's wall to be funded. First admitted, then denied. The yo-yo administration of Bozo Trump.
When that denial was proven to be a lie, the rationale became a necessary deterrent. But when nobody from the Republicans could agree on that one, it too was dropped as a reason for incarcerating babies in diapers. Homeland Security Secretary Nielsen was aghast when asked if the reason was deterrent. Of course not, she said. Don't insult me. Then AG Sessions stated the reason is deterrent!
In the middle of all that confusion, the super-stupid Steve Cortez from Trump's Hispanic Advisory Council argued that it was the fault of the parents who were criminal invaders. CRIMINAL. INVADERS. Next Cortez will be telling us the diapered babies are armed.
Fr. James Martin, a Jesuit priest, called it what it is - PURE EVIL!!
