No, that's super dumb reasoning, and you should be embarrassed for saying something so dumb that even the dumbest redneck would be hesitant to share it to his grandpa's Facebook page. The cruel family separation policy—which we know for a fact was implemented, in the most repugnant manner—was indeed motivated by the express belief that it would deter asylum seekers, but whether or not it has been a successful deterrent is irrelevant to the determination of whether or not it was actually implemented at all. We know—from investigative reporting, from lawyers, from court proceedings, from hearings and from official briefings—that it was implemented, and we're learning about worse things every day. You don't need to deduce that reality from dumb reasoning that only applies if the mistreatment is worse than being raped, tortured and/or killed in your own home. Jesus, how have you managed to become this dumb?
