(30,793 posts)The US can run DNA tests on the kids, then invite people from other countries to identify themselves as parents. They get DNA tested at their home locations if possible, match up the kids and they are finally reunited.
Where there is a will, there is a way.

Kids are larger than ledger paper.
And they speak, in volumes. Wait, they both do that.
FIND THE KIDS. FIND THE PARENTS
FINE ICE and End it's reign of misery. Abolish ICE for the old, reliable, predictable Immigration system.

(9,528 posts)I think even many or most of the deported parents can be found with enough publicizing of this effort in their homelands and in Mexico, where many were deported to, unless they have died or gone elsewhere.
They should let all these families come here and grant them amnesty if they wish to partially make up for this atrocity, also providing lots of family counseling and whatever else they need.

(9,166 posts)number... especially after the previous administration giving up and saying it was impossible. (Not that they tried very hard...)
I still worry about the long term trauma and damage done to these families... much yet to do.
Plus many still to locate and return to their parents. My sincere gratitude to those doing the work!
