So when are the congressional critters going to change the law and restrict twitter n chiefs ability to prosecute asylum seekers and thus separate families?
If your sole standard is legality then any action is justifiable as long as you can pass a law.
Also as noted people requesting asylum are doing so legally and not committing any crime.
Can anyone more well versed on the subject of asylum tell me why for example, a Guatemalan seeking asylum did not achieve it when they crossed the border into Mexico?
Well, according to Trump's approval ratings, 80+% of Republicans/conservatives approve of his and his administration's handling of the nation's affairs including adultery, incessant lying, sexually abusing and demeaning women, creating conspiracy theories to avoid/deny complicity, violating emolument clause for fun and profit, supporting dictatorships, deregulating laws that protect the public from harm, abusing and violating the public's trust on daily basis, witness tampering, flooding the courts with unqualified far right wing "judges", colluding with Russians, financially violating intent and purpose of charitable foundations and now, and now Trump and Session's use of separating children from their parents in order to punish those folks seeking asylum and sending a warning to those who also want to find a better life for their children and, of all things Trumpian in nature, blaming the Democrats for it all.
Shameful, disgusting, immoral and criminal behaviour by our duly elected Republican gov't officials but it's all good so long as it's "their people" doing it for "all the right reasons" as they were instructed to believe by Hannity, Limbaugh, and the GOP Ministry of Propaganda.
The question of "what could go wrong" with these travesties against the people of the world have already been answered.
The response deserves to be heard loud and decisively clear come November because things can only get worse as they are right now at this very moment in time.
Why do we need to give compassion to people who openly break the law by enter the country illegally?
To reiterate the scale of the issue, Drudge's headline today.
BORDER BATTLE: USA TAKING IN 250 KIDS PER DAY
If you suggest we setup refugee camps and allow first time offenders to 1: stay out of prison and 2: keep families together, then I'd support that. But our system is overwhelmed and a solution requires border security. The idea of amnesty and assimilation are for those already living here. Not for the rest of the planet. Kids cannot be a free ticket into the US. We have every right to stop them from crossing. We can relieve the situation by properly addressing it in legislation.

It's going to be an interesting week. I suspect the policy will be gone by the end of it. Hopefully there will be sufficient political fallout from it to make a difference.
What’s pathetic is watching House and Senate members decry it too while simultaneously refusing to take up any legislation to stop it.The Trump Rip-Children-From-Their-Mother's-Arms Policy was the brainchild of Stephen Miller and implemented by Jeff Sessions. But everybody hates it. It's universally condemned by everyone who doesn't owe their job to Trump (silence from Congressional Republicans, of course)..
So..how does Trump defend this policy? By stating he hates it too, but blames it on the democrats. Acting like his hands are tied by some imaginary Democratic legislation is just weak looking and embarrassing.
This will confirm what we already know, not only is he a lying bastard, but he's a gutless coward, too.

You posted a link to that very story two hours ago.Is this true:
I have heard of reports that Border Agents will not hold or touch a traumatize child.
They won;t even change a child's diaper.
Honestly one thing I don't have grasp is why trump doesn't just fire sessions over this when he's been desperately trying to get rid of him. There is big backlash on all sides of this and sessions is the driver of the issue. Just get rid of him, end the policy and take the political win (even though this entire disaster was completely manufactured by the trump administration)congess made it a misdemeanor. cheeto has decided that means the punishment you see.
Dirty deeds like this are exactly why Trump keeps Sessions around. This policy came from the White House with implementation by Sessions.Honestly one thing I don't have grasp is why trump doesn't just fire sessions over this when he's been desperately trying to get rid of him.

I don't think you really have to twist Jeff's arm too hard to be mean to brown people.

Can't they explicitly make a clause for asylum seekers they will not be charged with a crime?
