direstraits posted:If, those desiring to claim asylum status present themselves and children, at a legal point of entry along the border, they will be processed and the family kept together while their application is processed.
Only those caught in the act of crossing at unguarded places are detained and their children separated from them. Most of that area is desert. Why are parent(s) not charged with reckless endangerment of the child, as well as illegal entry? As to the 10,000 I mentioned earlier, why, if their parents appear in the US, aren't they charged with abandonment and reckless endangerment of their child(ren), besides illegal entry?
WRONG!
NPR had an article on, sunday, I think, where they had an actual reporter at the border and were recording. The officer split up a family, ON RECORDING, at a legal checkpoint. Imagine that, liarstraights has no clue what he's talking about, yet again.
