She would not answer the question about where the girls are...

She is hiding information concerning the whereabouts of the girls. Those poor girls are in danger. Then they want us to believe that most of the children were brought in by smugglers and gang members and not their parents... I call bullshit on that one.

...are probably not able to meet federal guidelines for foster care. Nothing as nefarious as sex trafficking, but definitely unsavory - and just this side of bordering on human trafficking.

I suspect we will find out the girls and toddlers/babies are being farmed out to non-secular foster care organizations where they're probably either being used as a nice short term cash income for a "good family" - that also needs pliable help around the house, or to keep someone's foster/rehabilitation "non-profit" in the red with that sweet taxpayer cash.

If they're cute and healthy, the toddlers and babies will probably be put up with a for-profit adoption agency after a couple months if ORR has lost track of the now-deported parents.

It doesn't matter about the boys - to the GOP base, the boys are already assumed to be criminals or shiftless animals once they've hit 8 years old.

That's not "bordering on" human trafficking -- it IS human trafficking.

Personally, I recommend the LBJ "pig f*ck*r" strategy -- suggest, as often and as loudly as possible, that the girls have been handed off to -- eh, might as well make it the Russian Mafiya, to tie in another strain of Dolt45's corruption -- and make them prove otherwise by producing the girls and allowing full media/Red Cross/etc access.

7. If smugglers and gang members brought all these kids into the US

there should probably be dozens and dozens of gang members and smugglers in custody as well no?

So where are they?? Sessions would be having orgasms behind a podium with these gang members and smugglers chained behind him at a televised presser.

8. Thank you, that woman was lying. How do they know they are ms-13 members or drug smugglers.

Were they wearing signs on their shirts that said ms-13 here, or were they carrying heroin in their pockets?

She also wouldn’t say where the babies are.
I hope there are reporters looking for the little girls and babies.

When it comes time to reunite these families our latter-day slavers have abducted, how diligent do you think they'll be about getting the kids back with their parents?
