A developer of some Ruby Gems pulled the code as a statement against certain entities (Department of Homeland Security — DHS) ultimately using the code. Chef gets owned in the process.
ZDNet has a good rundown of the incident:

It seems that developers at chef may have used an old copy of the dev's code to get things back up and running again, which seems like exactly the wrong approach.

You don't put little kids in jail. Parents commit a crime, go to jail, guess what: parents separated from their kids. Which part of the word "illegal" do people not understand, when talking about illegal immigrants? Dragging kids along (often not even their own kids) is not a "get out of jail free" card.
Everyone is somebody else's weirdo.

you fail to account for the responsibility for those children.

Just so I'm clear here. Your argument is that the adults who bring these children are bad and wrong, so it's not only okay to cage, humiliate and abuse children who did *nothing* wrong (they had no opportunity to consent, regardless of whether they were accompanied by their parent(s) or someone else), it's our patriotic responsibility to abuse children. Is that about the size of it?

If you steal a car, you go to prison, and you are separated from your children.
It's not fair to car thieves that they get separated from their children, but illegal aliens wouldn't under your plan.
The same goes for arsonists, burglars, rapists, carjackers, muggers, murderers, shoplifters, drug dealers, spies, drunk drivers, hijackers, and every other kind of criminal. Nobody gets to keep their kids in an American prison. Even newborns are separated from mothers.
You could call it part of the punishment. You could say that we are protecting the child from a bad influence. An adult who exposes a child to danger while committing a crime is an abuser.
If the kids were locked up with the supposed parents (DNA mismatch rates are very high), you'd bitch about that instead. This happened, and it why the law requires separation. Under the Clinton administration, kids were kept with the supposed parents and they were frequently abused. The law was passed for child safety.
In any case, the parents are freely choosing separation. First, they know our policy, and they decide to come anyway. Second, we offer them the immediate opportunity to be reunited by leaving the USA, but they prefer to remain here and be separated. Maybe the supposed parents don't love the kids enough to stay home or return home.

And the children of these car thieves are then placed in cages without clean underwear, toothbrushes or health care?
What "plan" would that be? I didn't suggest a course of action. I merely asked Bradley13 to clarify his position.
So. I'll ask you the same question: Do you believe that it is our patriotic duty to put innocent children in *cages*, without basic needs like bathing, clean clothes and toothbrushes?
I do not believe that's the case. If you're going to take on the responsibility to care for children, you need to give them an environment that doesn't traumatize them and treat them *worse* than we treat car thieves, murderers and rapists.
If a parent or guardian treated a child in their care the way these children are being treated, they would be charged, convicted and imprisoned for child abuse and a raft of other charges.
So I will ask again, do you believe that it's your patriotic duty to support the child abuse being inflicted on innocent children by *your* government? It sure sounds that way. Hooray! [youtube.com]

Republicans.
It's perfectly legal for a person to enter a country for the purpose of declaring asylum. If a person enters the country and does _not_ declare asylum, but remains 'undocumented', then _that_ is illegal.
