If people are coming across the border with kids that they don’t have proof are theirs, what do you do?

Do we send the kids back across the border with the adults that brought them across?

How do we find the parents of these kids once they are detained?

It seems like a hard problem to me. Ideally we’d reunite these kids with their parents. The logistics of finding the parents of thousands of undocumented minors is pretty intense.




The thing is that some Trump defenders tried to make up stories about seperating kids die to trafficking to justify the Trump administration purposely seperating children from their parents to be cruel in the hope that cruelty would deter legal(assylum seekers) and illegal immigration.

In the process they lost track of where kids parents were due to incompetence


Yes, it's long been known that it was a lie and excuse, it's sad that people on this site somehow aren't aware of this. Trump had two neo-nazis in his administration, this is just some of the fallout of that.


> Trump had two neo-nazis in his administration

Bold claim. Who? Proof?


I thought it was common knowledge by now?

Stephen Miller and Stephen Bannon.

Here's some info on Miller:

Bannon wasn't there for the whole presidency, but he still did damage. Miller is the reason why child separation became a thing.
