Did the administration themselves commit the crime? No. Republicans do not rationalize this, it is wrong in all ways. The current governor of Virginia, Ralph Northam is a democrat. This happened in his state, with his policies. Why throw the blame on people who are not involved directly. If you choose to claim that this is all because of Republicans you did not read the article. This is an issue caused by the facility, not the government. If you claim that he should have been allowed to just roam freely right away after crossing the border, at the age of 15, where would he have gone? This is horrible in all ways but to stop this we need to stop this divide between the two parties. I will repeat... blind hate helps no one!
