One cannot say enough about how ill-advised and destructive, and just plain wrong, the Trump policy of separating children from parents is turning out to be. It is most certainly a problem that should have been anticipated and planned for, but it was not. But save your best expletives for what’s coming next. We didn’t think anything could be worse than separating children and infants from their parents, but now we learn the Trump administration has no plans or procedure of any kind in place to reunite these families, nor (and this is even more distressing) do they have any inclination to prepare such a plan. Reunification is going to be complex in the extreme, plowing through thousands of man hours and millions of dollars. Trump and his minions may simply not have the organizational or management skills to pull it off. They need to get all, every single one, of the children together in one place where the displaced parents can be brought in person to identify and retrieve them. At that point, someone higher up on the humanitarian scale should be allowed to decide what to do with these poor souls willin a way that keeps them together.
