This is most definitely not an opinion piece, this is mainstream media news. If, two years ago, someone told you that the United States government would forcibly separate 18,000 immigrant children from their parents and put them in detention camps then send their parents back to where they came from without their children, would anyone of sane mind have believed it? Compounding this horrific act, the U.S. finds it's impossible to identify and reunite those children with their parents. Not too many would have believed it could be possible. But sadly, it has happened, this is a reality. We all need to ask ourselves one question, 'who are we as a country?' As a country, we have lost our collective souls if we can sit back and justify such a heinous act. I'm sorry but there's right and there's wrong, there's good and there's evil. This is just plain wrong and it's clearly evil.

The Trump administration said in a court filing that reuniting thousands of migrant children separated from their parents or guardians at the U.S.-Mexico border may not be "within the realm of the possible."

The filing late Friday from Jallyn Sualog, deputy director of the department of Health and Human Services' Office of Refugee Resettlement, was an ordered response in an ACLU lawsuit challenging the government's separation of thousands of children at the border since the summer of 2017. The estimate of "thousands" comes from the HHS Office of Inspector General's January report and pertains to children separated before the Trump administration's "zero tolerance" policy came into effect in 2018.

Sualog said her office doesn't have the resources to track down the children, whose numbers could be thousands more than the official estimate.

sucks that all the laws and the refusal of our congress to clear up these laws allows for this to happen.
this has been an issue since before obama.

the biggest issue is to reunite the kids both the kids and the parents have to be identified. since a lot of these kids have come here unaccompanied or the people they were with were not their parents
i can understand the issue of not getting them back together.

Still doesn't stop them from continuing to kidnap migrant children. Perhaps this is the trafficking Trump was talking about.

I don't believe that 'losing track' of these more than 18k children was any mistake or oversight error. This was an intentional action to 'teach a lesson'.
