SaysWho? Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 US begins reuniting some families separated at Mexico border - ABC News ABCNEWS.GO.COM The Biden administration says four families that were separated at the Mexico border during Donald Trump’s presidency will be reunited in the United States this week Quote Two of the four families include mothers who were separated from their children in late 2017, one Honduran and another Mexican, Mayorkas said, declining to detail their identities. He described them as children who were 3 years old at the time and “teenagers who have had to live without their parent during their most formative years” Parents will return to the United States on humanitarian parole while authorities consider other longer-term forms of legal status, said Michelle Brane, executive director of the administration's Family Reunification Task Force. The children are already in the U.S. Exactly how many families will reunite in the United States and in what order is linked to negotiations with the American Civil Liberties Union to settle a federal lawsuit in San Diego, but Mayorkas said there were more to come. “We continue to work tirelessly to reunite many more children with their parents in the weeks and months ahead,” Mayorkas told reporters ahead of the announcement. "We have a lot of work still to do, but I am proud of the progress we have made and the reunifications that we have helped to achieve this week.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to think that the fact that we got mad at him is how we've reached this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it had anything to do with it. Liberals are too idealistic and the realities sometimes require more time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
