National Review: The Truth about Separating Kids

A thorough summary of what's actually going on right now with the "separating migrant kids from their families" narrative

The latest furor over Trump immigration policy involves the separation of children from parents at the border.
As usual, the outrage obscures more than it illuminates, so it’s worth walking through what’s happening here.
For the longest time, illegal immigration was driven by single males from Mexico. Over the last decade, the flow has shifted to women, children, and family units from Central America. This poses challenges we haven’t confronted before and has made what once were relatively minor wrinkles in the law loom very large.
The Trump administration isn’t changing the rules that pertain to separating an adult from the child. Those remain the same. Separation happens only if officials find that the adult is falsely claiming to be the child’s parent, or is a threat to the child, or is put into criminal proceedings.
It’s the last that is operative here. The past practice had been to give a free pass to an adult who is part of a family unit. The new Trump policy is to prosecute all adults. The idea is to send a signal that we are serious about our laws and to create a deterrent against re-entry. (Illegal entry is a misdemeanor, illegal re-entry a felony.)
When a migrant is prosecuted for illegal entry, he or she is taken into custody by the U.S. Marshals. In no circumstance anywhere in the U.S. do the marshals care for the children of people they take into custody. The child is taken into the custody of HHS, who cares for them at temporary shelters.
The criminal proceedings are exceptionally short, assuming there is no aggravating factor such as a prior illegal entity or another crime. The migrants generally plead guilty, and they are then sentenced to time served, typically all in the same day although practices vary along the border. After this, they are returned to the custody of ICE.

Maybe the talking heads need to read this article so they quit spitting out left leaning propaganda?

I'm curious where all this faux outrage was during the previous administration.

Anyone who takes their kid(s) through northern Mexico, one of the most dangerous regions in the world, on foot is not worthy of being a parent
I don’t care if you want them to have a better life
Coming here legally and through the system is what you do. You don’t risk sex trafficking and drug cartels to come here

Those monies and energies were directed towards BLM.

Feel like this article needs a bump back to the front page today with, TJ causing a stir there. This is a pretty good article and reveals the truth of the separating children narrative that's going on now.
