Who are they?
I believe that only God can ultimately judge, and that would mostly likely be based upon INTENT. Also, God gave us Jesus and the Bible, not the constitution, that would be America’s founding fathers. James Madison to be exact.
Yes, in a perfect world, we could help everybody. Unfortunately, due to soo many opioid deaths, gang violence, increased drug trafficking and human human trafficking everyone needs to be vetted period.
It seems our government is acting in the children’s best interests. It would be horrible if children were being trafficked; this has to be determined SAFELY.
I will pray for the children of course.

how about god judging america based on how well we followed the constitution he gave us?
that is what i see happening in some form
we are not looking too good since immigration is a states right and naturalization is gov. right.

So by your account, Mexico should let us just go there as well? I have a cousin who has always wanted to move to Mexico.
There are too many crimes being committed too allow this to continue happening sadly.
Does anyone have any ideas what these countries can do to help themselves in anyway or is it an impossibility?

Here is an idea.....if you hate the situation at the border adopt one of the children or learn how to help....Stop listening to the multi- millionaires in the MSM who will lie so they can elect who they want in Washington D.C. and continue to lie to keep their millionaire job.....All MSM does this on every single network....Donate or run for office to actually help.Stop falling for click bait news articles and once again ALL MSM...

The rules were changed because criminals don’t plAy by the rules, which has created an uptick in drug/human trafficking, and the abuse of our social programs as well.
Unfortunately this is where we are at!
Corrections & Clarifications: An earlier version of this column mischaracterized the legal status of 1,475 undocumented migrant children who crossed the U.S.-Mexico border without their parents. Those children were placed in the custody of sponsors screened by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services. They are no longer in federal custody. -USA Today May 25, 2018

From what I've read, the woman and her child were not immediately separated. After a few days they decided to separate them, but haven't disclosed the reason. Nothing in the law says they have to disclose the reason. Whatever the reason was, they were only separated for a few days. This IS NOT standard practice.
Authority to apply for Asylum: In general Any alien who is physically present in the United States or who arrives in the United States (whether or not at a designated port of arrival and including an alien who is brought to the United States after having been interdicted in international or United States waters), irrespective of such alien’s status, may apply for asylum in accordance with this section or, where applicable, section 1225(b) of this title.
Exceptions:
(A) Safe third country Paragraph (1) shall not apply to an alien if the Attorney General determines that the alien may be removed, pursuant to a bilateral or multilateral agreement, to a country (other than the country of the alien’s nationality or, in the case of an alien having no nationality, the country of the alien’s last habitual residence) in which the alien’s life or freedom would not be threatened on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion, and where the alien would have access to a full and fair procedure for determining a claim to asylum or equivalent temporary protection, unless the Attorney General finds that it is in the public interest for the alien to receive asylum in the United States.
(B) Time limit Subject to subparagraph (D), paragraph (1) shall not apply to an alien unless the alien demonstrates by clear and convincing evidence that the application has been filed within 1 year after the date of the alien’s arrival in the United States.
(C) Previous asylum applications Subject to subparagraph (D), paragraph (1) shall not apply to an alien if the alien has previously applied for asylum and had such application denied.
(D) Changed circumstances An application for asylum of an alien may be considered, notwithstanding subparagraphs (B) and (C), if the alien demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Attorney General either the existence of changed circumstances which materially affect the applicant’s eligibility for asylum or extraordinary circumstances relating to the delay in filing an application within the period specified in subparagraph (B).
(E) Applicability Subparagraphs (A) and (B) shall not apply to an unaccompanied alienchild (as defined in section 279(g) of title 6).

Completely unamerican and as a whole drags us down.
That depends on how you look at it. The Nazis took the babies from their jewish mothers arms as well, after arriving at the concentration camps.
White heritage, that's what I see. And fascism, of course.
Don't give up!

what about asylum seekers?
they are being turned away at the ports.
a wall does not control the smuggling problem we deal with at the ports
the national guard was enacted to act as temporary wall yet the smuggling continues

it is a state issue
the fed has no authority to set limits or laws concerning immigration.

There must be a cap on asylum seekers too. Asylum seeking cannot and should not ever mean an open border gateway. Changing the words from illegal immigrant to asylum seeker, doesn't mean you get your open borders wish granted.
Laws can be changed so asylum can be sought at embassies outside the U.S. We should not entice children being sent across a desert where they are raped and killed.
