I think that’s right. I didn’t get what Grace was saying at her first post, mentioned it to husband & he set me straight. It appears the attorney/ organization supporting these families are trying to push it in that direction (unnaturally). As Hugh the Scot said (& I agree), they’re trying to turn a lie/ misrepresentation into truth by insisting on it. It’s either that or they are incompetent.
It makes you wonder, though, how in the world our government has glossed this over for so many years? Makes me feel really taken advantage of by them.
We hired them to take care of these things. If one of us abdicate our jobs like that, we would (rightly) be fired on the spot- if not the first time, then certainly the second.

So these are children who are only CLAIMED in the usa.
