Illegal children



Every election year, politicians running for the Office of the President of United States discussed about comprehensive immigration reform. That reform never happened as soon as the elections were over. Either it was put aside over other priorities or members of Congress did not agree on what comprehensive immigration reform is supposed to be. All these years, immigration policies remained pretty much the same. I expect the same to happen after this year’s election is over.

Hillary Clinton said in a debate that she will not deport children entering the United States illegally. What she did not discuss was what to do with these children. They have to be clothed, fed and educated. Which government agency is supposed to be responsible for them? The government is just a temporary solution. Eventually these children will need homes to live in. An adoption program is a possibility but the adoption rate will not be 100%, so what happens to the rest of them? They will likely stay in foster homes until they turn 18.
