Separated Parents Are Failing Asylum Screenings Because They’re So Heartbroken Immigration lawyers say separated parents are too grief-stricken to focus on their cases.

BROWNSVILLE, Texas Jodi Goodwin has spent the past month helping grief-stricken parents with their asylum cases.

On most days, the Harlingen, Texas-based immigration lawyer drives to the Port Isabel Detention Center just outside of Brownsville to meet with clients who were separated from their children. But, she says, those mothers and fathers are too devastated to prepare for their court hearings.

Instead, they replay the moment their kids were taken away by Border Patrol, worry about their children’s well-being, and ask repeatedly where their sons and daughters are. In some cases, they simply weep.

“They are losing it,” Goodwin said. “They are red-faced and have bloodshot eyes and all they do is cry. We are trying to ask them basic information but they are whimpering and they can’t talk.

When you first official act when entering a new country is to break the law entering the country these illegals have no one to blame but themselves from what i understand they weren't being separated at normal ports of entry only when they were being coyoted in

BS. When there is a court hearing, you prepare for it. Translation: THEY ARE NOT THE REAL PARENTS! I have my CSA designation and I know acting when i see it.

their kid is in an air conditioned environment and is being well fed and cared for; their “whimpering” parents just drug their ass across the desert in the middle of summer. I wonder who was whimpering then.

Goodwin says other kids have talked about being held in freezing cold Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities for up to four days

And babies ripped off incubators.

NONE should be claiming asylum.-—crime/gangs/drug cartels are NOT asylum reasons.

But dragging the kids across a thousand miles of crime infested desert had no ill effects. That’s curious.

lol they’re so full of s***. They’re failing their asylum screenings because they don’t qualify for our already too liberal system.

I don’t believe any of them. They’re using sob stories to continue breaking the law with their invasion.
