First we took their children away.
We detained them like prisoners, drugged them if they got rowdy.
We lost track of some. Didn't bother to track others.
Some babies, we made face judges alone.
We have 65 still in custody. Their parents...gone.

Then we tried accepting no asylum claims for domestic or gang violence.
We did close the ports of entry to no more than 12 claimants/day.
We make them wait for months in squalor & danger in Tijuana.

If they didn't wait, we tried to call them illegible for asylum.
When they finally make it thru our gates, we send them back to Tijuana to wait.
Or we cage Mamas & babies together.
The babies get sick. Many are detained longer than legally allowed.
