Nearly all of the Central American migrant children and youths who cross the border are being delivered by federal agencies to close relatives living illegally in the United States, an agency official admitted to Senators on August 16.

White is “not getting along with the program” set by President Donald Trump, Krikorian added.

Our Constitution forbids the government funding criminal activity, so this is FOUL.
Also, our Constitution gives power of citizenship and our borders to the President, not some agency thinking they can dictate to the President.
What the he-- else are they supposed to do?
Of course this is the right thing to do.
You guys need to get over your racist crap attitudes and realize these are HUMAN children we're talking about.
My gosh.
