The 300k number has been popping up again recently on twitter as well, and it is misleading. 10% of them failed to appear for a court hearing, 90% have not been sent a notice to appear. Some are running with the idea that these kids are all “missing” which is not true.
They were released from custody to a sponsor in the US. The sponsor has to pass a background check and is responsible for the minor. That doesn’t mean there is zero risk for these kids, but the narrative seems a bit overblown.
I’m a little suspicious about the sponsors and the degree of a background check and how accurate it is. I don’t think the term “overblown” applies here. What about the kids that were smuggled across and never even went through the system. The 300k is only those that had some kind of interaction with border security. The number is probably much higher.
The alternative to releasing them to a sponsor is holding them in custody or sending them back to their home country. In a humanitarian sense, does that result in more or less risk to the kid than releasing to a vetted US sponsor?
There is an incentive with an open border to traffic children, women and drugs. If you reduce or eliminate the opportunity the cartels will have to curtail their efforts.
ndefo was a baller but he belongs in that group for being a non shooter outside of 6feet and bad foul shooter. DAW should be the best 3 pt shooter of bunch tho.
For anyone who's interested, this is a good interview with Seth Greenberg on where the team is, what it needs to do, and what the possible solutions are. as he notes, Greenberg has been to a lot of practices, I think he has a good sense of the team.
