There is so much ,ore we can, and should, do.
Why Trump country is unfazed by the child separation crisis "People who are accustomed to cruelty, on the giving and receiving ends alike, are not very likely to find such a policy appalling."

Why are so many migrants crossing the U.S. border? It often starts with an escape from violence in Central America Many migrant families crossing the U.S. border are often times escaping from violence in Central America “We were witnesses when two of my husband’s cousins were killed and now they are looking for us, too,” said a mother from Honduras, a country with one of the highest murder rates in the world.
Holding migrant children in tent cities costs more than keeping them with parents: report Newly obtained federal data shows that separating migrant children from their families and placing them in “tent cities” costs taxpayers over three times more than keeping families together in detention facilities.
Why a Rogue President Was Forced to Back Down on Family Separation "Although there has been a spike in the number of asylum seekers in recent months, the overall number of undocumented immigrants coming into the United States from Mexico and other Latin American countries is significantly lower than it was a decade ago. THERE IS NO "CRISIS" at the southern border, except the humanitarian one of Trump’s own making. Trump’s picture of the United States being swamped—or, in his words, “infested”—by Latino migrants is a fantasy that he concocted to whip up the racial fears and antipathies of his core supporters."

Don't stop with family separation. End the whole immigration prison system The question Americans need to ask themselves next is this: Why are we imprisoning immigrants or asylum seekers at all?
The border crisis is a reminder that Trump has no idea what he’s doing “If Trump wants to make solving the problem a major priority, he needs to make Central America a major policy priority. Instead, he’s picked a secretary of state with no experience in the region, made himself politically toxic by calling El Salvador a 'shithole country,' embroiled the country in pointless fights with Mexico over NAFTA and a border wall, repeatedly threatened to end aid to Honduras for no reason, and decided not to show up at the Summit of the Americas.” — Matt Yglesias
