The problem resulted in some parents languishing in custody for weeks without knowing the location of their children.
The report by the Department of Homeland Securitys Office of Inspector General found the agency lacked proper systems when Border Patrol agents took children from parents set to be criminally prosecuted for illegal entry.
Every politician, agent and official that participated in this crime against humanity should have to spend the entire rest of their lives making direct amends for this horrible action. That includes Miller and tRump.

We must keep a Dem Representatives majority to investigate.

(34,133 posts)In these days with RFID and microchips that can track merchandise and pets, to claim the government cannot do this job is ridiculous. All they had to do was to NOT separate families if the KNEW they could never put them back together.
They have the technology to put chips into bracelets - bracelets that could also have tracking numbers to tie people together. A simple two tier way to link parents to their children. One of their cronies would have been happy to manufacture those for the government.
***HELL - there is already that technology being manufactured!
