      Actually, they’re conducting DNA tests because that’s the only way to tell if adults traveling with children are actually parents. Most of the time they are strangers paired to unaccompanied children by smugglers (a billion dollar industry). https://www.google.com/amp/s/townhall.com/tipsheet/katiepavlich/2018/06/21/documents-human-traffickers-regularly-pose-as-parents-of-children-to-cross-the-border-illegally-n2492737%3famp=true …https://twitter.com/elizabethforma/status/1015020727513305094 …

      Hey, @realDonaldTrump: While you obsess over my genes, your Admin is conducting DNA tests on little kids because you ripped them from their mamas & you are too incompetent to reunite them in time to meet a court order. Maybe you should focus on fixing the lives you're destroying.

      Unfortunately even DNA tests do not establish correct and proper guardianship. As investigators have uncovered in the past, actual true illegal immigrant relatives of some children have gotten custody of their related children but turned out to be pedophiles/molesters/abusers.

          It’s one test; I am assuming we have other criterion. Do you have an alternative?

          As for alternative? I would say the legal system is probably best alternative. According to @dolphinfish55 (who worked in the system), they should present themselves to certain centers in Mexico, for example, and follow the prescribed process for asylum etc.

          However in some cases this additional information can be used to verify verbal claims of relatedness. So it’s not a silver bullet but still useful.

          MOST family members are not pedophiles while DNA non-matches make the adults bringing the kids to the U.S. suspect.

          It’s amazing that most well intentioned folks ( mostly on the left) don’t want to know this. They have stuck their heads in the sand and pretend it’s just “Trump’s fault” because it makes them feel righteous.

          Liberals are deaf to the facts. They want to hate President Trump & don’t care if doing so might subject a child to a life of sex slavery. They hate at all costs, except their own. #LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder

          I certainly understand that. They should be using multiple methods of ascertaining proper guardians. That’s why it should be rushed. The kids care seemingly well cared for. Imagine how they must’ve lived while in traveling or in their home country.

          If we had a wall DNA tests would not be necessary. You don't have to process people who don't cross our borders.
