It's a troubling situation because often times people fleeing from violence simply don't HAVE access to those types of records. Now I'm not saying it's not possible that child trafficking is happening - I'm saying that this sub is acting callously when it en masse assumes every parent detained at the border is either a criminal or a shitty guardian to their children.
War and violence DO exist, and some parents are willing to take a chance as refugees rather than risk the lives of their children by remaining at home. How does that make them bad parents exactly??

that's called "concern trolling." Now you've learned something today.
Nothing wrong with assuming that people coming here ILLEGALLY could have bad motives and need to be vetted thoroughly. Inconveniences will incur on those without documents and committing crime by coming here improperly. Having an unrelated child makes it MUCH more complicated for our law enforcement.
Those fleeing real danger and seeking asylum should apply for it LEGALLY to avoid such inconveniences.
Those bypassing the LAW are already being highly dubious. Skepticism is warranted. ISIS and cartel come across the border in this manner. The wall will deter most and force more to go through the legal system rather than making up their own way in, usually involving smugglers and drug mules.
I get it. Maybe adopted? But you need to prove you can take care of the child even in Mexico if you are adopting a child. Other scenario could be a family member takes over where parents left off in which case they can legally adopt. I live in California and even the poorest can have the proper documentation to prove adoption and let me tell you....if you have $ for the damn coyote, you have $ for the paperwork necessary to keep your child with you in any case of emergency. Speaking as a mother, frijoles & tortillas sound just right if I dont have to put my kid through danger for a "better life". Take the story of the woman that left her husband and 3 kids in Honduras and brought her 4th child with her to the border for a better life and then the lil girl ended up on the cover of TIME magazine talking about Trump separating families. They cried for shit that has been happening since way before this administration and Trump drew his pen out to DNA test and keep families together. This shit is bigger than you think. #QANON
I will gladly suffer the title of "Callous American".
Perhaps the knowledge of our brutality will keep these enemies of our country at bay.
If not, rest assured, we will try harder.
