Why, is what is assembling in 2018, frightening ?
Why is it more frightening than Nixon's attempts ?
Because much was different in America, under the rule of Nixon, compared to now.
The image that has occurred is a version of a Killer Klown* with Yeat's Rough Beast *following after him. (Invisible, much like the Creature from the Id*)
Jeff Sessions and Stephen Miller are recorded as pushing Zero Tolerance forward, though there were no provisions for sufficient judges to process, and nothing set up to provide records.
Why provide for hearings before a judge, and keep records, if the plan is to immediately deport both parents and the children they have with them ?
If the people seeking sanctuary and asylum never are permitted to touch a foot on American land, Americans will not separate the parents from the children.
(gsgs comment- America is closed, because we are afraid of MS-13 ? What will happen to all of the American manufacturing facilities in Mexico ? Is it un-American to vacation at a Mexican resort ?)

A group of 25 Democratic lawmakers who toured the border processing facility in McAllen, Texas, said they hadn't seen a clear federal system for reuniting those who were split up. Everyone — even infants — is assigned "A'' or alien numbers, only to be given different identification numbers by other federal agencies.
They described seeing children sleeping behind bars, on concrete floors (on sleeping pads ?) and under emergency "mylar" heat-resistant blankets.
"There are still thousands of children who are out there right now untethered to their parents and no coherent system to fix that," Rep. Joe Courtney, a Democrat from Connecticut, told reporters after the tour.
Immigration lawyers are also trying to help facilitate reunions. At criminal court hearings in McAllen, one lawyer identified parents separated from their children, and immigration attorney Jodi Goodwin said she followed up with them at a detention facility in Port Isabel, Texas, to collect information about their cases and their children.

Have a scapegoat ? Are a scapegoat ?
The President’s endless demagoguery about the border with Mexico, and those who flee there, is a classic instance of scapegoating, a deeply human malevolence that is rarely recognized for what it is. Groups at the mercy of free-floating negative energy—resentment, greed, fear, or, say, racial anxiety—find relief by projecting their hateful passions onto powerless figures who are blamed for discord they had nothing to do with. The marginalized victims are made to suffer, which perversely frees members of the dominant, victimizing group from its negative energy, sparking a “collective effervescence,” which in turn convinces them that the victims were deserving of the punishment they got. This is the “scapegoat mechanism” identified by the anthropologist René Girard.

Trump has trumpeted, far and wide- that he is the victim, America is the victim, White Supremacist Evangelical Christians are the victim, and international
corporate conglomerates are the victim.

You can fact check and fact check and fact check these claims and it won’t matter that they are false. And the fact that nobody in this administration even bothers to coordinate their cover stories at this point reflects just how pointless it is to fact check them anyhow. It’s an interactive game of choose your own logic, law, facts, and victims, but every single version of this story ends with screaming children in cages, sleeping under foil blankets as strangers change their diapers. The trick is twisting and dodging and weaving until you get to that final page.
