This is a quote from the twitter account of Dr.Darrell Scott.
Of the 1300 detained children at a Texas facility, only 7- were separated from their parents, the other 1230 came over alone. what should be done? let them loose unsupervised or send them back unsupervised
If this is true, why has this gone virtually unreported. This would be kinda important. Doncha think? As I said. I don’t know if this stat is correct. But we need to find out.
We know a large number of unaccompanied minors have come over the border alone. We also know that over 2000 children have been separated from their families. These aren’t mutually exclusive. And no one has been quiet about unaccompanied minors - did you ignore politics in 2014?
Did you know that when you quote someone on something that they did not say that meets the definition of a lie? Please don’t lie about me.
So here is my question. If the stat that the good doctor quoted is false, then what is the actual stat? I wouldn’t mind having that info. What about you?
Just a suggestion but you could actually read news sources where they actually interview people in the departments that actually do the work…
On Tuesday Homeland Security officials said they separated 2,342 children from their parents along the border between May 5 and June 9, reclassifying them as “Unaccompanied Alien Children” and placing them in foster care with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Trump officials could not say how many of those children have been reunited with their mothers and fathers.
