There is a very simple solution for parents - do not cross the border illegally while dragging your kids along."He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot

1) What number of children are arriving at the border in the company of someone who claims parentage?
2) What number of these lack any resources to prove parentage?
3) For those who lack that ability, a simple DNA test will make the case. Why can we not house them in a supervised setting with those claiming to be parents until that test can be completed (2-3 days), avoiding the need to separate children from bonafide parents and also avoiding children being with "hardened criminals" without supervision to ensure the safety of the children?Last edited by carpedm9587; 07-27-2019, 12:03 PM.The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.

Originally posted by seer View PostFirst Carp, from everything I have read the majority of those in this recent influx would not qualify for asylum, but merely came here for work. Second, we could let them apply then send them back. That should take only a day or so. If they qualify, bring them back.
