Biological embedding resulting from childhood trauma is a fact that leads to among other things, vascular dementia as one gets older.

On another note, comparing the immigrant children to American children whose parent goes to prison forgets that American children have grandparents, aunts, uncles, and most times, siblings to soften the pain these immigrant kids don't have here.

To give Trump some benefit of a doubt, I believe he is using these kids as a hammer to convince congress to pass his "wall" legislation. It's a strategy he uses, such as calling Kim Jung Un names in order to gain whatever he had in mind. Sessions is too willing a lackey.

As far as Trump's policy of diminishing the FBI goes, it is fueled by what he knows he has done that will come out in the Mueller report. It borders on desperation at this point. Opposite to Trey Gowdy's admonition: If you're innocent, act like it, Trump's every move to degrade Justice declares his guilt.
