America became a kidnapper in late 2017 & early 2018 when the government began quietly separating families-asylum seekers & migrantswho entered illegally-at our southern border, a test run for a soon-to-be-open policy of taking children from their parents.

America broke up families at such a pace that children pulled from the arms of their mothers and fathers were dispersed to refugee sites across the country with no consistent tracking process in place.
This started with former attorney general Jeff Sessions.

And America remains a kidnapper today because children are still being separated at the border for specious reasons & according to a federal report & recent testimony there may be 1000s of children we didn’t know were separated & the gov’t says it now lacks the resources to find.

Consider this for a moment: The total number of children, possibly thousands, that our government willfully took from their parents as part of a cruel & clumsy experiment in deterrence is NOT KNOWN.

It is a pathetic mess, the result of a draconian policy implemented with no advance planning. The various agencies responsible for these children didn’t have a consistent means of tracking them or their parents. It was slapdash and intentionally brutal.
