Separated Parents Are Failing Asylum Screenings Because Theyre So Heartbroken Immigration lawyers say separated parents are too grief-stricken to focus on their cases.
BROWNSVILLE, Texas Jodi Goodwin has spent the past month helping grief-stricken parents with their asylum cases.
On most days, the Harlingen, Texas-based immigration lawyer drives to the Port Isabel Detention Center just outside of Brownsville to meet with clients who were separated from their children. But, she says, those mothers and fathers are too devastated to prepare for their court hearings.
Instead, they replay the moment their kids were taken away by Border Patrol, worry about their childrens well-being, and ask repeatedly where their sons and daughters are. In some cases, they simply weep.
They are losing it, Goodwin said. They are red-faced and have bloodshot eyes and all they do is cry. We are trying to ask them basic information but they are whimpering and they cant talk.

“When I wake up every morning and think of my sweet little son and how I miss him I cry for hours! I wish I could look into his sweet eyes and hold his hands and look at his MS-13 tattoos and be with him!”
But, she says, those mothers and fathers are too devastated haven't yet been coached on what to say to prepare for their court hearings.
There. Fixed.
Maybe I should go to Tahiti and blubber my way to Asylum. After all, Hitler ran me out of America
A nice Beachfront Cottage on the Tahitian Government’s dime sure sounds nice.
“Boo Hoo, send them home all together.”
Actually your post is very relevant. Those in incarceration crossed the border illegally via coyotes. When caught they were separated from their children as they are felons. If I am a felon I am also separated from my children as I am in jail.
These felons then plead asylum. They are felons and properly jailed. If they want to be reunited with their children the INS will do this immediately on their way back across the border. Children in custody are a function of their parents. It is that simple.
Oddly I do know these parents love their children. They also know their children will be far better off regardless of the outcome so long as these children can remain in the United States. They are making logical decisions.
Build the damn wall now.
We must help them

No, it’s because they’re literally that stupid and illiterate. This is the human garbage Soro’s and the globalists are intent on pushing in here to make America a Third World pest hole.

They knew what they were doing was illegal but they did it anyway. Actions have consequences.
Put them on the next bus south.
