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:
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.
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.
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.
Joe Biden decided to hammer President Trump on family separation. Unfortunately for him, DHS has a story to tell about attempts at family reunification.

The difference is that a crime was committed and children can't be in the jail cell with their parents. Trump
separated parents and children just because, and kept no records to reunite the families. Typical "I don't give a shit" trump behavior. The previous administration readily admitted their separation policy which makes sense.
The fact is that the parents could not be located because no records were kept.
A kid with no parents and no ID crosses the border. What ******* records are you suggesting they should have "kept"? The fact that their parents need to be located means they should NEVER again be with those parents. When my kid goes missing, no one needs to locate me. I will be very loud and clear about my child being missing.
Where these kids are at isnt a mystery. The parents can come get them any time they want. Quit blaming Trump for the actions of terrible people south of our border.
A kid with parents crosses the border, is separated from his parents as the parents disappear. Why were they separated to begin with? No records to support your theory. Do these kids get deported when they are old enough?
Just shove 'em to the other side of the great wall, the wall that Mexico was going to pay for. Trump deserves blame
because he is so completely disorganized. Why wait until a judge orders trump to act?
Who says they were separated from their parents? What evidence do you have to support that claim? Furthermore, you dont put children in jail with their parents. You also have no idea of knowing if some random dude IS their parents, since they come with no documentation. Lastly, you never put children in a cell with people you cant confirm are their parents.
If we did it your way, pedophiles would be going hog wild in our detention facilities. I dont care how much you hate Trump, we arent going to allow that shit to happen.
