The U.S. Government has been trying really hard to reunite Mexican children with their families in Mexico.....these children were dragged across our border by various criminals for the purposes of drug smuggling, sex trafficking and slave labor........but the families in Mexico will not take their sons and daughters back...
The response regarding family reunification came from Chase Jennings at DHS:
Biden is no stranger to the problem of separation of families at the southern border. Even CNN fact-checked the former Vice President during the Democrat primary when he claimed the Obama administration had not put children in cages or separated families. He repeated those claims in the second debate with Trump. According to CNN, the administration separated families when the parent was charged with a crime or if human trafficking was suspected.
The response regarding family reunification came from Chase Jennings at DHS:
It is not clear if these children arrived with their parents, who were then returned home, or if, as President Trump asserted, they had come with coyotes or human traffickers. Either option is possible, as Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) started getting aggressive about identifying minors who were with adults who were not their parents. One pilot program using a rapid DNA test found 30% of children were with an unrelated adult.This narrative has been dispelled on numerous occasions. DHS has taken every step to facilitate the reunification of these families where the parents wanted such reunification to occur. The simple fact is, after contact was made with the parents to reunite them with their children, many parents have refused. In the current litigation for example, out of the parents of 485 children whose plaintiff’s counsels have been able to contact, they have yet to identify a single family that wants their child reunited with them in their country. The result is the children remain in the U.S. while their parents remain in the home country. The reunification process is a whole of government approach involving CBP, ICE, and HHS.
