[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do I understand correctly that the children being separated are in those instances where their parents, attempting to violate immigration law, snuck over the border, were caught, and are now pleading asylum? Are the parents free at that point to say, effectively, "OK, you caught me violating your laws. My children and I will stay together and return home." ? Of are they not given that choice?

DP, moderate. The parents don’t have the option to turn around, as I understand it. Someone will correct me identify I’m wrong, I’m sure.[/quote]
I don't believe that they do. I think they get arrested. 
One can't seek asylum after been caught crossing illegally - intentions to seeking asylum are not clear to authorities at this point. Papers have to be submitted at the official entry points at the time of entry.[/quote]

Wrong, if you arrive at a POE and are denied entry you are allowed/required to turn around and leave.  If you arrive by air, the airline is required to put you on the next flight back. You absolutely are allowed to leave.

Now, if you don't go to the POE and sneak in, either alone or with a human trafficker and are caught, you are arrested.  Children are not sent to confinement with the traffickers, but are transferred to HHS who places them in a safe place.[/quote]
