DNA tests reveal 30% of suspected fraudulent migrant families were unrelatedby Anna Giaritelli
May 18, 2019
Some of the migrant families arrested at the southern border weren't actually families.
In a pilot program, approximately 30% of rapid DNA tests of immigrant adults who were suspected of arriving at the southern border with children who weren't theirs revealed the adults were not related to the children, an official involved in the system's temporary rollout who asked to be anonymous in order to speak freely told the Washington Examiner Friday.
"There’s been some concern about, 'Are they stepfathers or adopted fathers?'" the official said. "Those were not the case. In these cases, they are misrepresented as family members."

In some incidents where Immigration and Customs Enforcement told the adults they would have to take a cheek swab to verify a relationship with a minor, several admitted the child was not related and did not take the DNA test, which was designed by a U.S. company.
The pilot lasted a few days earlier this month and was used only in McAllen, Texas, and El Paso, Texas. ICE said the Department of Homeland Security would look at the results to determine if it will be part of its comprehensive solution to border issues. Homeland Security has not issued a public statement on its intentions going forward.

When can we start the 2nd trail of tears back to Mexico?

It's almost as if there's a human trafficking element to this invasion. Fascinating.

I have to admit...I thought it would be MUCH higher than that.

It woyld be, but many of them won’t submit DNA.

They should be making a DNA database of every illegal caught.

I like the idea of a DNA database for border jumpers. 30% does seem a lot lower that I would've thought though, yet we should show compassion for human traffickers?

Can’t separate those kids from wouldbe coyotes, narcos, kidnappers, and sex traffickers. No, no, no.

What percentage of the entire adult population was included in these suspects?

Which pisses me off. So it's the right of th govt to draw someones blood against their permission if they are stopped for driving drunk, why cant we get it from these illegals for breaking the law?
Baffles me how our govt lets them take advantage of their so called "rights" for them under our Constitution when it benefits them, but when it doesnt then we have to respect their foreign rights.
We are just stupid...
Ohhhh and to the OP....

I'd be interested in how many more were related, but not parents.

Chip the violators. If they're caught and scan positive (or sport a scar where the chip should've been) then treat them as invading foreign national enemy combatants.
Not complicated.

family, redefined multiple times.... will be yet again by the galloping band of libruls hell bent on making everything fit every situation.

The dems policy is promoting the trafficking of children. Dems not only approve of this, but they promote it by their non-action to stem the flow of immigrants to our borders.
They promote it because they claim there is no crisis. I would say 30% are being brought with no relation to the adult is a huge crisis.
