I'm still not clear whether this is being misreported. To the best of my knowledge, most of these people who presented themselves at border crossings seeking asylum were doing so LEGALLY, according to international law to which the U.S. is party. We don't have to accept them but we are required to treat them humanely. So far as I am aware, the Trump administration simply ignored the law. Regardless of immigration law, it is unacceptable for any nation to take children from their parents without due process of law. This is an unacceptable human rights abuse. The Nazis did this same thing!

Lawyers say Trump administration has handed over new data that will help reunite separated migrant families
The ACLU's Lee Gelernt said he's often asked whether the Trump administration has helped reunite families. He said that rather than help, it has withheld data.
WASHINGTON — Legal advocates tasked by a federal judge with helping to find migrant families separated at the U.S. border in 2017 and 2018 say that after months of pleas, the government last week handed over new data that could be critical to helping them find the families.
In a federal court filing in California late Wednesday, the lawyers said Justice Department data from the Executive Office for Immigration Review, which includes information for parents and children in immigration court proceedings, was released to them last week.
"Among other things, the information includes phone numbers that had not previously been known," the lawyers said in the filing.
U.S. District Judge Dana Sabraw ordered last year that a steering committee of legal groups and nonprofits find missing families after the Trump administration separated parents and children crossing the border illegally in 2017 and 2018 but failed to keep track of the families it had separated.
NBC News reported last month that the parents of 666 migrant children had yet to be found by pro bono lawyers, making the path to reunification difficult for many. The filing Wednesday said some families have been identified since then, bringing the number of parents whose whereabouts are still unknown to 628.
With the new data, which lawyers said they have not had adequate time to review, the number could be reduced further.
"We have been repeatedly asking the Trump administration for any additional data they might have to help locate the families and are only finally getting these new phone numbers and addresses," said Lee Gelernt, deputy director of the ACLU Immigrants' Rights Project. "Unfortunately, it took the issue reaching the level of a presidential debate to move them to give us this data."
Trump administration hands over new data on families separated at border
"Everyone's been asking whether the Trump administration has been helping to find these families. Not only have they not been helping, but they have been withholding this data forever," Gelernt said.
President-elect Joe Biden has said he will set up a task force to find and reunite separated families, although his transition team has not yet committed to give parents who have been deported the option to come to the United States to reunite with their children.
A spokeswoman for the Executive Office for Immigration Review said the office does not comment on pending litigation.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...-he-ll-introduce-immigration-bill-immediately
President-elect Joe Biden says he’ll introduce immigration legislation “immediately” after taking office later this month, and that his Justice Department will investigate the Trump administration’s separation of migrant children from their parents.
“I will introduce an immigration bill immediately,” he said in a news conference on Friday. He said that the Justice Department will determine responsibility for the family separation program, which led to more than 2,600 children being taken from caregivers after crossing the U.S. southern border, and whether it was criminal.
“There will be a thorough, thorough investigation of who is responsible, and whether or not the responsibility is criminal,” Biden said.
That determination will be made by his attorney general-designate, Merrick Garland, he added.
He didn’t detail his immigration legislation. He’s previously said he’ll end Trump’s ban on immigration from predominantly Muslim nations, and that he wants a path to citizenship for so-called Dreamers, undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children.
Biden had previously promised an immigration overhaul within 100 days of taking office on Jan. 20.

Clap clap.
Right...
Grow the f up with the gay ass memes.
Post a trade huh?
_____________________________________________
Yeah.
As long as they get free health-care for their kids.
'Empathy'.... the key word prevailing in the whole 2021 world we live in.
I'm all for it. We wouldn't want to unfairly encumber anyone who comes here with a kid that has medical issues.
That would be unfair af.
Give them the best healthcare in the world... or be filleted in the court of public opinion if you dare not.
Lets open the borders!
Our own kids... (?)
F em.
... they can eat cake.

The Cost of Raising a Special Needs Child
How "special" Parents Lose Everything
Everyone knows that it’s expensive to raise a child, but the cost of raising a special needs child can be far greater. At any one time, nearly 9 million American families are actively caring for children with special needs. Consider this: According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the cost of raising an average child to the age of 18 is roughly $240,000, which is certainly a lot of money. Autism Speaks estimates that the lifetime cost for an individual with autism and/or intellectual disability averages $1.4 -$2.4 million.
For children with medical and/or developmental disabilities, lifetime expenses for the family to raise and care for their child can be overwhelming. Children with special needs often have medical, therapeutic, pharmaceutical, respite, and caregiver expenses. None of these expenses take into account the equipment that is needed for families, homes, and the children to function comfortably. Some of these expenses are covered by insurance, and some are not.
Research shows that children with disabilities are significantly more likely to live in families that are considered to be poor. In fact, it is estimated that 28% of U.S. children with disabilities lived below the federal poverty threshold, as contrasted with 16% of children without disabilities.

ICE Did Not Consistently Provide Separated Migrant Parents the Opportunity to Bring Their Children upon Removal
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/im...ts-alone-without-documenting-if-they-n1268372
Trump admin deported 348 migrants alone without documenting if they wanted to leave kids behind
"ICE removed some parents without their children despite [evidence] parents wanted to bring their children back to their home country," says new report.
LOS ANGELES — During the Trump administration, Immigration and Customs Enforcement deported at least 348 migrant parents separated from their children “without documenting that those parents wanted to leave" their children behind in the U.S., according to a new report from an internal government watchdog.
In a report dated May 18, the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General said that “in some cases, ICE removed separated parents without their children even though ICE officers effecting their removal knew the parents wanted to bring their children with them.”
According to the report, some records also do not make clear whether or not ICE ever gave some parents the option of reunifying with their children before the parents were removed from the U.S.
The OIG said it had conducted the special review because of allegations from parents who had been removed that they weren’t given the option to reunify with their children.

I am not going to analyze the various links the Here4Corpses posted but I do no know how the lefty media has presented this issue in the past and assume they have done so in these links.
They say that parents are deported knowing that they want to take their children with them and the big bad border patrol is allegedly separating them.
Not usually the case. Usually, the parents send the kids in alone or willingly separate from them knowing that government policy is to automatically accept children. Then the parents try to join up with them and then argue- once they are in the community- that they cannot be deported because they have children to care for here.
So you end out with all of these parents who get caught but their children do not because if they are caught alone they have a right to stay or so the policy says. The parents may not know where the kids are so they can retrieve them if they are being deported or they will not rat out where the kids are because they know the policy allows them to stay. Then they try to argue "you cannot deport me without kids, blah, blah, blah." Or they want the kids to stay because they will become citizens and serve as basis for allowing the parents in at some point.
Bad shit happens in these massively chaotic situations and if you find it apply the law. I am just sayin, when you read such articles, ask yourself if they are separating the kids from the parents or if the kids are missing or might not even exist. To my knowledge, if the kids are there and the parents are there and they want to go, the government will load them up and deport them in a New York minute. (well, until Biden anyway). But if Senior Coyote is saying "you can't deport me because my kids are still here in the country somewhere," well then we be havin a totally different scenario. You load Senior Coyote up and ship his sorry arse out and tell him to call the 1-800-number to check on whether the kids have been located (or tell us if we know where they are in Teaneck, N.J.) and we will bring em right to the border to be picked up.
