It’s often not actually their kids. Using kids to take advantage of the system was and is a well known cartel tactic for getting across the border, and addressing this was the genesis of the child separation policy that began under the Obama administration. It is indeed terrible, but so is leaving kids with so-obviously-not their parents - especially girls, who have to endure a horrific rate of sexual abuse on the way to the US. The people who are overly compassionate here are contributing to a human trafficking apparatus that is truly ghastly in its scale.
