My point is merely that brutal family separations and sloppy legislation exist, even in "advanced countries."
With the EU's new rules about people with principal residence in the US not being allowed to enter, you can expect a few more cases where people whose circumstances fall on the wrong side of the blunt measures that governments are hurriedly standing up.
