Some economic migrants are using children as chits, but the problem is fixable - if Congress acts.
The latest furor over Trump immigration policy involves the separation of children from parents at the border.
Over the last decade, the flow has shifted to women, children, and family units from Central America.
In no circumstance anywhere in the U.S. do the marshals care for the children of people they take into custody.
Some migrants have admitted they brought their children not only to remove them from danger in such places as Central America and Africa, but because they believed it would cause the authorities to release them from custody sooner.
Others have admitted to posing falsely with children who are not their own, and Border Patrol officials say that such instances of fraud are increasing.
Because we favor family units over single adults, we are creating an incentive to do the opposite and use children to cut deals with smugglers.
