The children are hostages. Use proper terms please.

2. Excellent point. Mexico at least should be making public statements "release our hostages!"

Yes I know it would be a bit awkward for Mexico and other countries whose citizens are fleeing to America to admit their country is so fucked up that their citizens would risk the wrath of a child-abductor dictator and guy who clearly lusted after at least one of his own children

But this could be an interesting new angle. Say Mexico demands return of their infant children. But TrumpCo cronies can't find them. Then Mexico gets all indignant and outraged, and starts saying "you kidnapped our children and won't return them!".

And it's an international nightmare for Rump and his turdmongers, which plays out for the next several months while the BLUE WAVE comes in and knocks all his syncophantic enables on their rich white asses.
