Rasmussen reports American citizen voters believe that foreign parents who bring their children unlawfully to the United States are at fault for the current frenzy about kids being separated from relatives. As we know, noisy Democrats and their media accomplices have manufactured public hysteria about the normal temporary removal of children from lawbreaking parents — the same as what happens to citizen miscreants who are jailed.
The basic upshot — when parents break the law, their offspring suffer. What else would you expect?
A 2014 NPR program titled “Who Are The Kids Of The Migrant Crisis?” showed foreign children jumping onto a moving train which is quite dangerous.
It’s reassuring to see that many Americans resist liberal media propaganda.
Voters Blame Parents, Not Feds, For Border Children Crisis, Rasmussen Reports, June 21, 2018
Most voters blame the parents of the separated children at the border for the latest illegal immigration crisis, not the federal government.
When families are arrested and separated after attempting to enter the United States illegally, 54% of Likely U.S. Voters say the parents are more to blame for breaking the law. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that only 35% believe the federal government is more to blame for enforcing the law. Eleven percent (11%) are not sure.

To help understand the current political debate over the children issue, a closer look shows that 82% of Republicans and 56% of voters not affiliated with either major political party feel the parents are more to blame for breaking the law. But 60% of Democrats say the government is more to blame for enforcing the law.
Seventy-five percent (75%) of Democrats think the Trump administration is too aggressive in trying to stop the flow of illegal immigrants into the United States, a view shared by only 23% of Republicans and a plurality (46%) of unaffiliated voters.
Among all voters, 49% say the administration is too aggressive trying to stop illegal immigration. Twenty-five percent (25%) say it’s not aggressive enough, while 21% view the administration’s policies as about right.
Fifty-four percent (54%) agree with President Trump when he says, “The United States will not be a migrant camp. And it will not be a refugee-holding facility — it won’t be.” Thirty percent (30%) disagree, while 16% are undecided.
