Government data shows the entire 'family separation' crisis was built of lies

Rather than marshalling all its limited resources to deal with the drug cartels, gangs, and special interest aliens at our border and in the interior, the Department of Homeland Security has been forced to consume its resources and give almost daily updates to the new commander in chief, San Diego Judge Dana Sabraw.

The data shows that of the 2,551 adults who were recently separated from children age five and older at the border, 917 are "Either not, or not yet known to be eligible, for reunification;" 130 waived their right to be reunited because they wanted their children to get refugee status; and for 463, "Case notes indicated adult is not in U.S., under review." This likely means that in addition to the 130 who didn't seem to care about reuniting with their children, an additional 463 left the country without explicitly waiving their right of reunification, but still left their kids behind.

Either way, almost all of them have been resettled with illegal in-laws or aunts and uncles as well as parents who successfully evaded the border patrol over the years and have settled in the country illegally.

In the case of the family units coming together, their optimal goal is to evade the border patrol or sometimes surrender themselves and get paroled into the country.

Earlier this week, the Washington Examiner quoted from U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Kevin McAleenan observing that the cartels "Use families and children to tie up Border Patrol resources while they bring narcotics through an adjacent point of the border." This is exactly why the drug crisis spiraled out of control beginning with the border surge in 2014.

While the flood of asylum-seekers is providing the smugglers with the perfect tactic to bring in drugs and MS-13, they have also helped the uptick of special interest aliens coming across the border.

In recent years, thanks to the border surge, several hundred Bangladeshis have come through, primarily in the Laredo sector.
