WASHINGTON – Migrant children who were separated from their parents will most likely deal with that trauma for the rest of their lives, a federal official told a congressional hearing Wednesday.
“The consequences of separation for many of these children will be lifelong,” Jonathan White, Commander of the Public Health Service Commissioned Corps for the Health and Human Services Department told ranking members of several House appropriations subcommittees. “It is severe and difficult to manage even with high levels of clinical care.”
In 2018, President Donald Trump’s “zero-tolerance policy” on the Mexican border that created a new population of children being referred to facilities in the Office of Refugee Resettlement, which takes care of unaccompanied migrant children until they are released into the custody of a sponsor, usually a vetted family member.

would that be the SAME lifelong trauma any child would feel after being separated from their parents or a parent? Their own parents from these countries sell their children to whoever to get to the border, then get into America with a stranger who has done who knows what to them. Wake up people. The DEMS, left, Communists don't care about these children as they are sex trafficked daily.BUILD the D--M WALL NOW!
Well, a adult US citizen with children who breaks the law is separated from them, correct? If a non-citizen breaks the law, enters the US illegally with children and they are arrested/detained/charge/etc., isn't that the same as the US citizen example I cited above? While I feel for the children in both instances, it is their parent that is at fault.
Nothing that isn't experienced by tens of thousands of other kids every day.
I was locked up in prison for 5 years, away from my children but no one gives a damn about my kids!
exactly 10:54. what about the military families that lose their mother or father fighting for our country? American is so upside down right now.
I wish we could separate Congress from real American citizens. I would love to see our Liberal and RINO Congressman deported to those $hitholes.
When their parents remove them from their homeland is their not going to be trauma, when their parents are arrested for outstanding warrants their is no trauma, when they see a relative die because of the long trek or illness their is no trauma, when their fathers rape the women in the caravans their is no trauma. Don't blame borders and walls blame the lives and parents they were born into. Think about it Dems and millennials get the full picture.
WHO cares?? Any kid going to public school system have more than trauma.
Tell Nadler to share some of his KFC chicken with these kids.
Geez, cry me a river.
I was separated from my kids for 18 months, it is called "Stop-Loss" and I missed my son's High School Graduation because I was in Afghanistan.
When they are temporarily removed from parents (or "parents") it's for their safety, not as punishment. The children receive care and respect, and are reunited as quickly as possible.
Not much different than citizen criminals incarcerated for committing their own crimes....
Sympathy is in the dictionary - between smegma and syphillis.
What about the children of military families whose parents serve overseas for long periods of time?
