I have close friends in immigration legal services and policy advocacy in orgs serving these kids. This is exactly what happens. Most kids come with contact info for the relative whose name they provide to the ORR-funded staff at the shelter where they are held. The US based contacts are expecting the call from the shelter staff. They have documentation proving they are the right person and confirming familial contact.

Sometimes kids are sent back properly (when no US based sponsor can be identified and foster care is the only option).

What do you think happens to unaccompanied kids? [/quote]
Thousands of them are getting sent to the Dallas Convention Center for now. I guarantee you, your friends don’t have nearly enough colleagues to process these people. You seem to be unaware of the numbers flooding in, you know, since Biden encouraged them from all over the world. Maybe you could volunteer to help your friend. They’re swamped.[/quote]

I know they’re swamped.

But they won’t toss kids out on the street. And they won’t turn them over to alleged relatives without proof. It’s a process. Sometimes the process happens quickly, and sometimes it takes 60 days or more.

They’ll staff up to handle the influx. And some kids will be stuck waiting for a while. [/quote]

And yet all of that was horrific and unacceptable under the last administration.  Interesting change in tone.   :roll:  :roll:

Last administration was actively hurting children. Literally going out of their way to do it. 
And by the posts here it seems the Trump supporters agreed with the cruelty
