Mexican kids held for months many without their parents knowledge

2015 seems so far away.
Now, as a result of that decision, young Mexicans are being held for months without charge in shelters across the United States, sometimes without their parents’ knowledge. Since the program began in May, 536 juveniles have been held — 248 of whom have been deported to Mexico after an average stay of 75 days, according to Border Patrol statistics. Mexican authorities say some of these repeat border-crossers have spent as much as six months in U.S. custody while they await an appearance before an immigration judge.
During their detention, they are questioned by U.S. authorities and then transferred to a network of facilities run by the Office of Refugee Resettlement, part of the Department of Health and Human Services, across 15 states. While confined, they undergo psychological evaluations and take English courses. Some are allowed tourist-type activities, such as going to the beach or museums, according to Mexican consular officials in Texas. At least one youth earned a high school general equivalency diploma.
In the past, Mexican minors picked up by the Border Patrol normally would be deported by bus, sometimes on the same day they arrived. Some of these kids have been captured more than 60 times, and Harris’s officers have identified about 800 young smugglers operating in Texas. LINK

How do we know these are really their kids?
At least this is supplying a steady stream of youth for the sick fricks in Hollywood to diddle.

So you're saying that 75%+/- were not kids but common criminal illegal alien invaders?

Did you tell the agents to keep up the good work?

I just want to know what type of parents would allow their children to endure something like this. It’s not like this practice is unknown. Disgusting excuses for parents.

The child abuser type?

So you’re suggesting that a large portion of the people illegally crossing the border are not the best and brightest of their home countries? Because it’s not just children coming across.

Some of them are probably good people. Still illegal criminal alien invaders, but good people by some metric or other.

This is awful, I bet the media was up in arms about it for weeks

Well if we are to admit people based on whether they are good people by some metric, then we have no ability to deny anyone citizenship. Everyone has something good about them. Everyone. So that is a stupid metric to base admission off of.

yes.
have a good day sir.

The biggest difference in that article and one written today ?
The words ‘Trump administration’ weren’t used repeatedly.
In fact, the words ‘Obama Administration’ were never written. Not even once.
Probably just a coincidence.

And yet not one quote about a Mexican Authority asking for their citizen to be returned. How odd. We usually DEMAND our citizens be returned from foreign authorities.
