RETURN TO SENDER/ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION

[HairOfTheDog]

I don't think there is a reunification plan in place. Some parents have already been deported and their child/children are still here, somewhere, the parents don't know. There are babies & toddlers out there who can't express themselves. There will be families who are broken forever.

You’re right about there being no reunification plan, unfortunately.

I’ve been waiting all day and hoping to hear that any and all necessary efforts to reunite the families would be taken by the government.

Instead, all I’ve heard is excuses, non-answers and confirmation that there was no formal matching of the detained kids to their jailed parents.

Former immigration officials are admitting that it will be very difficult if not impossible to reunify some of the 2,300+ children with their parents. That should not be an allowable outcome.

The Dems, the press, and the public need to force the issue and insist that Trump and company take responsibility for what they’ve done and rectify it to the fullest extent possible. The administration should be required to locate every single one of the kids the government adopted out or dispersed across 14 states, starting now. Anything less is child cruelty on the part of the Trump administration, in my view.

I don’t believe this government-induced tragedy will fade away just because Trump pledged to stop doing something he never should have done in the first place. If the Dems don’t fiercely stay all over this case, they’re worthless.

I did see an active (not retiring) Republican congressmen interviewed today. I’ll try to find the clip. He did not hesitate to criticize Trump harshly for lying about the origin of the policy, lying about not being able to stop it at anytime, and using children as political pawns and negotiating points/leverage. Let’s see if others follow suit, either because they’re worried about their political futures or because they’re actually decent humans.
