From what I understand, many adults crossing the border have no documentation proving that the children they have are actually their children. This is often done because such documentation proves that adults and minors are indeed, illegal aliens. It can also be because the child is the victim of human trafficking. I have yet to see concrete data on this, so it's speculation as of now. That being said, if an adult were to enter, say, customs at an airport with a child and had no documentation for that child, the adult would be detained until it could be verified that he/she was the parent I suspect that many cases of adults being separated from children are just that. Think about it, if you were an illegal entrant in a country, would you want documentation proving that you were indeed an illegal alien? Trump undoubtedly handled this poorly, and children should should be left with adults when it can be clearly established that the children belong to the adults. But there are other factors at play. Congress, left and right, has played games with immigration legislation for years, preferring to pass the buck down the road or put it on the shoulders of the president (trump, Obama, Bush, etc). The government hasn't given much of a care about the horrors faced by illegal immigrant children along the path here, which are undoubtedly worse than a detention center, parent or not. Also, adults and illegal immigrant parents are very much to blame. They put children in untenable and dangerous situations, period. Also, if the government really wants to help out (which they don't, they only care when it's politically advantageous for them) they would spend considerable time, money and resources investing in and securing countries where these migrants come to, which would be beneficial for the migrants and the popultion of those countries as a whole In other words, this is a mess exploited by political jackals, special interests, and is only paid attention to when it suits certain groups (republicans when Obama was in office, democrats now) EDIT: I wa o give the following text some visibility. Thanks to /u ortsengin or posting This is hands down the most concise and neutral explanation of the issue I've come across as of yet. There's an incredible amount of misinformation being spread about this situation on both sides of the aisle (not necessarily surprising if y Basically, the Flores agreement stated that you cannot put detention facilities that impede their ability to be "children (I know that's a super vague descriptor, the article describes more specifics).
