Why are parents even being given a choice about leaving their children in the U.S.? There is no choice but to deport the whole family because minors have no standing to request asylum
Detaining illegal immigrant children counterproductive, expensive
Hiding behind the detention of children by mischaracterizing the situation as child abuse, the left has gone beyond placing the United States in a precarious position. It has created yet another industry based on waste and fraud. The fraud comes in the form of lying about the woes of incarcerated children in order to bilk the government of hundreds of millions of dollars and anchor illegal aliens within the electorate.
Strange as this sounds, both situations have been documented. Furthering the bogus nature of the "emergency," businesses and nonprofits have created a burgeoning trade providing shelter for these displaced children by sponging off government, i.e. the taxpayers.
