Sessions Talking To Lawmakers About Using DNA Tests To Verify Parents Of Immigrant Children
The Daily Caller ^ | June 19th, 2018 | Kerry Picket

Posted on 06/19/2018 6:42:43 PM PDT by Mariner

Attorney General Jeff Sessions is exploring the possibility of using DNA tests to verify the parentage of illegal alien adults who attempt to cross the southern border with children, Family Research Council President Tony Perkins said in a statement Tuesday after interviewing Sessions on his radio show Washington Watch.

“Sessions is talking to congressional members and is hoping for a legislative fix. The AG wants an immigration policy that is just, fair and enforceable. They talked about making sure that these really are the parents of these kids,” Perkins said.

He continued, “They are looking at how to use DNA tests in the field to verify they are parents and not traffickers. The reality is if American parents put their kids through what these immigrant parents have done to their kids — they would be charged with child abuse.”

Around 12,000 children are currently in the custody of Health and Human Services after entering the United States. According to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirsten Nielsen, 10,000 of the 12,000 children in the care of HHS arrived in the U.S. as unaccompanied minors.

Illegal border crossers should also be charged with a felony. Thus, they’ll lose any hope of becoming voters, and the Rat Party will lose interest in them.

Overstaying one’s visa should be a felony too.

What if ‘Juan’ refuses to take a DNA test? Can you legally force some foreign guy to take the test? You can’t even do that to an American guy.....so how can you force ‘Juan’ to do this?

There are a good number of American jurisdictions that INVOLUNTARILY take DNA samples of folks arrested for criminal acts.

Illegal aliens who ICE or the Border Patrol arrest are arrested because they have committed the CRIMINAL ACT of entering the US ILLEGALLY.

“Yes, but this is NEEDED for those ALREADY HERE.”

Y-you mean the fact that the kid is screaming “MOMMY! DADDY!” and stretching his arms out isn’t proof enough? Have you no heart? Have you no decency? Were you not born yesterday?

More dodging the real issue that the borders are not secure and we do not force the laws on the book. 1 will get you 10 they do not plan on funding it and the counties where the illegal invaders are picked up will foot the bill once again.

No one question should be asked, “what country did you come from?’ Once obtaining the answer march them to line for that country’s deportation or hold them until you can DEPORT THEIR A$$ES

Sounds good to me. But get ALL their biometric data (e.g., fingerprints, DNA, facial recognition profiles) first and keep it in our databases in case of future need — and THEN deport their asses.

Saw that. What an estrogen rant by Gerie! Unbelievable.

It was right before or after they showed film of a bunch of these 20 y.o. “kiddies”.

If/when we run this country on compassion and emotion, only.. we end up in a mess... whoever has the most muscle rules... our laws are a foundation on which we live. For too many years we have floated and been loose on following those laws.. today too many think we should still just float.. whatever they want

There would need to be a policy for legally adopted children and parents.

Big "DUH!" there.

DNA tests typically require at least three weeks....

That's if you have to mail your little 23 and me swab. On-site DNA testing requires half a day. You get some tissue, don't need much, centrifuge it for a few minutes in a solution and then run the electrophoresis on it, six hours max. They do it in high school biology labs in a 2-day experiment, 2 hours total actual time spent on the labor portion.

Like drug laws. When marijuana is a felony crime but almost half of the population uses it regularly, you don't get much respect for the law.
