That is part of the problem, but by percentage I think rather small. More, it is people who arrive without valid asylum qualifications, or who lack papers, or have already illegally entered the U.S. In those cases, there is an argument that to protect the children from exploitation or incarceration, it is better to isolate them from adults of whom we are not sure. The whole issue gets clouded around establishing parenthood and/or relationship with a child, and then the extent, if any, to which the parents are criminals.Hello,Leading Headline.... "TRUMP SIGNS EXEC ORDER TO STOP HIS FAMILY SEPARATION POLICY".
That is a lie.
The separation was happening as a side effect of a zero tolerance policy, I don;t think anyone thought the problem was going to be this big.
The family separation policy was set forth by Congress years ago. And due to 16 years of not enforcing laws - these kids were simply let in with whoever brought them.
A fine example of that is some school systems in California have 1 out of 5 students HOMELESS, many cannot speak English.
The failed immigration policies of Bush/Obama was to simply ignore the problem. Just pretend it isn't happening.
And BTW - several lawsuits are being filed to stop the executive order. ACLU has already filed.
We also have a lot of migrants who arrive by sea, Italy did not want to take the migrants home so Macron was piss off but well Italy has become a guard hall for migrants
You have little children who arrive without their parents if I understand what is happening in the US?
It could be solved with more funding, but many Americans don't want to spend money on it. The U.S. is the richest country in history, has 330 million people at least, and finds it difficult to deal with about 2000 children. This is what many find perplexing. What image does this give the world, and in particular our enemies?
