> If you're a citizen and you commit certain crimes you are separated from your children The overwhelming majority of these cases are people coming to the border and requesting asylum. They passed a credible fear interview administered by CBP, and have been granted entry into the US pending their hearing. They have not committed a crime.

Link to proof that every single immigrant family seeking asylum is separated from their children is current official policy and not just those guilty or suspected of some crime.

An interview that is easily gamed. If people self deported after getting all their hearing and being determined not to qualify for asylum there would not be as much of a problem. Most of the people claiming asylum do not qualify for asylum, but once they are in the country it is hard and costly to find them.

  So how do you propose to handle this in a humane and practical way? (separating children from their parents because the parents failed their asylum application is not humane, just to be clear)

    A wall would ensure that far fewer economic migrants are backing up the court system that asylum cases must also go through, and resolve the facility overcrowding issue. The problem is not with the facilities (which are on par with other developed countries), it is with the overcrowding causing medical cases being unseen and abuse between detainees. After conducting blood tests, up to 1/3 of migrant children were found to not be related to the adults claiming to be their family. It is for humane anti-trafficking reasons that the separation rule was instituted in the first place. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/defense-national-security/dna-tests-reveal-30-of-suspected-fraudulent-migrant-families-were-unrelated https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/defense-national-s...
