"US authorities have struggled with how to handle the tens of thousands of kids who end up caught by the Border Patrol. Those coming from Mexico are taken straight back across. The rest are referred to the Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Refugee Resettlement (rather than being put in immigration detention with adults) and placed in temporary shelters while their deportation proceedings get under way.
In fiscal 2011, ORR had 53 shelters that housed 6,560 kids. By 2013, there were 80 shelters with nearly 25,000 unaccompanied children
Bump...
How can this be? We were lectured that these countries aren’t sh**holes.
They’ll be sent back home to their families.
Send them home to their parents. Families should not be broken up.
I wonder what would happen if the border patrol started shooting every single illegal alien?
My guess is they would only get a handful, and then the potential illegal aliens would stop trying to enter. We would probably save lives in the long run. We would then have to shoot thousands of liberal moonbats when they went rabid dog with outrage.
Any parent who brings a minor illegally into this country and is caught, should be detained, immediately processed and deported.
Any minor in this country who has arrived here with an illegal parent should be separated from their parents when they are caught, and reunited with them when they are deported.
I don’t see why there are people who think this is complicated. The obvious problem is that we must find a way to process people immediately and accurately. We have to find out before processing them if they have committed a crime (other than the obvious one of being here illegally) I don’t think we want to deport someone who may have murdered an American, only to find out later we let them go.
So other than the “Immediately processed” part, this seems straightforward to me. We readily and responsibly detain children of parents who have been arrested for crimes in this country unless they have relatives they can be placed with. We aren’t starving them or chaining them to the floor. They are being provided for, however austere that provision may be.
Something I haven’t heard anyone mention yet.
They keep saying, “Separating these children from their *parents*”. Well, what if those adults *are not* their parents?
Phoenix has busted a lot of “safe houses” that were no different than slave pens. Say a family of four wants to cross the border. The traffickers will demand $5000, half now, and half later, and they’ll keep their *children*, who come up later with an adult trafficker, as collateral.
These traffickers are horrible criminals. They think nothing of molesting children, or killing them, or raising the price once they have control over the children. They regard their clients as expendable.
Imagine the hysteria if the media discovered dead children, “who crossed the border with their parents”, lying in a ditch with their throats cut?
It is a legal and moral obligation to protect these children from adults who may want to do them harm.
If their parents don’t care about them......WE’re not a Daycare Center.
Point them South, …. don’t ever come back.
Well...they’re in Mexico. Ask the Mexicans.
Seems to be an obviously coordinated and manufactured ‘outrage’ by the Democratic Party and mainstream media.
Not my circus, not my monkeys.
Turn them around and say “Walk”
Maintaining a porous border is causing children to separate from their parents!
The protestors should take the unaccompanied young ones home with them.
Bmk
So...70,000 kids from - wherever - just walk off from their parents’ homes, and head for our Southern border...wha????
Parents didn’t try to stop them?
Are they using the USA as a “post abortion” site, to dump kids they don’t want?
Why aren’t the weepy crowd of lefty-weenies stepping up to legally *adopt* these urchins?
Why is a kid over 16-years-old classified as a “child”?
Will no liberal take over sponsorship for any of these “poor, deserted, children”? Be responsible for their welfare, food, healthcare, education, security, etc., under penalty of law?
If you adopt a wild horse, don’t you have to prove to the government that you take care of the animal?
If none of you libs want to take these “poor, deserted, children”, then, turn them around, send them home, and STFU.
The problem is, no one wants to be responsible, but they think the Government owes the world a living.
Wrong!
These kids made it to an age where they were able to “make it” to our borders, so they’re either enabled, put up to it, or, are part one of a scheme to use to reunite the adults with the kids, on OUR side of the border.
It’s a Trojan horse scenario. Nip it in the bud.

List Chuck U as their daddy and send them all to his house.
Apparently the invader families don’t have a single problem with separating from their kids.
So why are Americans whining about it?
You know what helps separate the kids from their family? The welfare states which literally pays women to have kids as long as the father is not in their life. Welfare state usually leads to jail for a lot of the young males, prison yet another system that separates people from their family. Come, libtards let’s get into this what pixy tears apart familes, because you lose.
I’m not playing into this faux outrage and faux crisis of children being separated from their families nonsense.
