Dear Representative,
I agree with President Trump that adult immigrants illegally entering the United States with children should be incarcerated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and that the children traveling with these law-breaking adults should be separated from them, retained in HHS custody for the 20 days mandated by the Flores decree, and then entrusted by the HHS to the care of a sponsor. Otherwise, every adult immigrant who wants to enter the United States illegally has an incentive to cross the border with a child so that they both can be released together into the United States after the 20-day Flores holding period.
Furthermore, I think that comparisons between President Trump and Nazis, such as are being made by various Democratic politicians, are completely inappropriate. The separation of a child from a parent who is a law-breaking illegal immigrant is no different from the separation of a child from any other parent breaking the law in any other way, for example, by robbing a bank, so that, in my humble opinion, President Trump, the Justice Department, and the HHS are separating children from law-breakers in precisely the manner they should. Comparisons of President Trump to Hitler, on the other hand, strike me as hateful attempts by Democratic politicians to arouse hysteria among American citizens for crass political purposes. These hateful comparisons are ginning up a level of stasis, faction, and incivility in the American political environment that may never have been seen before in the history of the United States. As your constituent, I ask that you please refrain from making these false comparisons and instead support the President in his efforts to staunch the flood of illegal immigrants into our country.
