NEW YORK — In court documents filed tonight, the Trump administration did not dispute a recent Office of Inspector General report that concluded there may have been thousands more children torn from parents under the administration’s family separation policy. The government also argued that it would take too long to figure out where those children currently are because it had no tracking system. The American Civil Liberties Union successfully sued the Trump administration to halt the policy and reunite the families.
Lee Gelernt, lead attorney in this lawsuit and deputy director of the ACLU’s Immigrants’ Rights Project, had this reaction:
“The Trump administration’s response is a shocking concession that it can’t easily find thousands of children it ripped from parents, and doesn’t even think it’s worth the time to locate each of them. The administration also doesn’t dispute that separations are ongoing in significant numbers. We will be back in court on February 21.”
If these people are nothing but troublemakers, kick them out back to where they came from, even if they are Brits, Frogs, or Finns or any other countrymen.

It is nationalist-capitalism at its ugliest. We love corporations.

If these are really "children ripped from their parents" then why aren't these parents trying to reclaim them?
hmmm, interesting perspective.

This subject always alerts my BS bell, leave a kid in a hot car for 20 minutes, no one questions the child being taken away, but treck your kid 2000 miles through a hot, deadly desert and you should be rewarded?
I wonder how many kids die along the way...

They can't do that if they have no idea where they have lost 'their' keys... err... kids. Get it?
I would like to borrow your response for an exhibition of Wishful Thinking, hope you're fine with that. Oh, the mysticism!
