I think any parent who drags their kid hundreds of miles across the desert and into our country illegally should have the kid automatically taken by CPS and lose all rights to the kid. That is child endangerment and child abuse. CPS would take the child of any American who did the same in a heartbeat. Illegal aliens should be held accountable for their irresponsibility just like anybody else would be.
Currently, on the first crossing of the border and you get caught....it’s a misdemeanor. The second time...a felony.
There’s a draft law to make the first attempt a felony. In that case, you can forget about getting the kid back, but this opens up a bigger mess if you ask me.
