Attorneys are still trying to reach the parents of 337 migrant children who were separated at the US-Mexico border under the Trump administration, down from 368 in June, according to a federal court filing Wednesday....

Since June, the parents of 31 of those children whose whereabouts had been previously unknown have been found....

As part of the effort, the Department of Homeland Security has established a process for accepting parole requests, the Department of Health and Human Services is working on facilitating services to support families and the State Department is developing a streamlined system for processing in-country travel document requests. The Justice Department is involved in related settlement negotiation efforts....

A little math here: Jun 8, 2020 - nbc news: 2,100 unmatched children Dec 2, 2020 - cnn news: Prior admin was able to match 1,472 children in 6 months leaving 628 unmatched children

Dec 2, 2020 to Aug 11 = Current admin was able to match 291 children in 8 months with 337 unmatched children remaining

The Big Guy with the plan, says they're moving slow so they can go faster later. Which implies there will be a later.

Kids used as props during “immigration?”

Parents here illegally and afraid to claim the kids?

Based on the number of illegal aliens entering the country this is a remarkably small number.

Orange man bad.

Mayhaps it's because they weren't really their parents, just as Trump said when he talked about illegals using other people's kids to get asylum. No, he was poo-pooed by the media for that idea, so that can't be it.

For the record, the CNN article does not use a single time the word “trafficking”.

I doubt (since January) that CNN has uttered the word ‘trafficking’ a single time....which is remarkable if you think about it.

these are just the 2100 under Trump that caused all the Dem handwringing and fence-crying. The number now...that many in a day, maybe? iirc from Trump days, some parents refused to take the kids back, wanting them to stay until 18 so the parents can be sponsored by the 18yo - like the US is a free boarding school or adoption agency and using our laws against us.

They arn’t looking very hard or parents don’t want to be found. A relative was found by his 28 yr old son conceived thru an anonymous sperm donation made when he was in college. Cost under $300.

The parents of these kids are a lot harder to find.

The kids are probably stolen - the kind of kids one might find, say, inside a container on a container ship like Evergiven.

Biden’s thugs have a great system - the kids are ‘reunited’ with people from the same addresses but with different names... almost like it’s obviously fake.

Does Biden go to smell their hair?>

Concerned parents should have contacted the authorities, who have all the kids.

Exactly. These kids, whoever they are, were tools. That’s all.

Were the kids “separated” from their parent(s), or from a sex trafficker?

even if they were the parents, they exhibited a decidedly profound lack of good judgement in taking their kids with them to commit illegal acts. Seems like they shouldn’t have kids, doesn’t it? Especially since so many of these people and kids get raped on the way to cross the border.

in other words, this is the parents fault, not the governments fault.

“Attorneys are still trying to reach the parents of 337 migrant children who were separated at the US-Mexico border . . .”

That is not unusual.

In our little town, 10 of 20 students in one first grade class are searching for their father.

What about all the ones that were separated under Obama’s watch? And Biden’s?

I guess the media doesn’t care about those.

Then they were not the parents of these children, would be the logical conclusion to anyone with a smidgen of brain matter.

Kidnapped or sold children that no one wants to claim.

As you said, Props.

More likely they were sold. Nobody is looking for them, they are the lucky ones, most are likely trafficed and there fate is terrifying to ponder.
