Poll: Majority of Republicans back family separation policy

A majority of Republicans support the Trump administration’s policy of separating migrant children from their parents when they are caught illegally crossing the U.S.-Mexico border, a Quinnipiac University poll found.

Republican voters support the policy 55 to 35 percent, according to the poll released on Monday.

They are the only listed party, gender, education, age or racial group to support the policy, according to Quinnipiac.

They can't say enough about "innocent life," but outside the womb? Forget it. Inconsolable, traumatized children are somebody else's problem. ESPECIALLY brown children.

It sure is fascism now.

every single Republican can go fuck themselves.
They are the worst of humanity and only make this world bad for everyone.
Why do they even bother. They contribute nothing.
