Some coyotes, some illegals
You are asking a closed ended question in a complex issue.
As i said before, I object to Trump’s policy on ethical grounds.
But that is separate from my argument in this thread. I am not arguing my objection to Trump’s policy, only it’s distinction from Obama’s.
Which, if you remember, is the equivalency that you attempted to make in the OP.
Are parents who send their children unaccompanied trafficking children?

Of course you are.
This entire thread is your attempt to draw an equivalency between Obama’s policy and Trumps.
Oh no, not equivalency. Trump definitely has a different policy. Just don’t pretend that obama never separated a family.
So how much tolerance should we have?

When i am describing children trafficking i am referring to the specific act of trafficking children for abuse.
Who has argued that Obama never separated a family?
That is a straw man.
No it’s not. The two policies are definitely not equivilant.
Ok, if you say so. Glad we could agree.
Then what is the point of this Thread?
To knock down a straw man?
Ah, and since Obama left office that doesn’t happen anymore?
To understand the situation and discuss it.
Did you object to obama separating families?

It certainly does but that was not the reason for the current President’s policy.
It’s not one of the reasons they gave?
Are “ethical grounds” based in emotion?
I would have to know the specifics of the situations in which Obama separated families to determine whether I object to it or not.
My objection to Trump’s policy is based mostly on its “zero tolerance” absolutism.
How about we agree on this:
While both administrations separated children from their families, the two policies are not the same.
How much tolerance should we have?
Of course they are.
Which is why my objections to Trump’s policy are irrelevant to what I’ve been arguing in this thread.
