Somehow, these people get children in Mexico or wherever and then sneak across the border with them, lying about their familial relations to do so..
An Immigration and Customs Enforcement pilot of new rapid DNA testing at the border has found that nearly a third of those tested were not biologically related to the children in their custody.
ICE conducted the pilot for a few days earlier this month in El Paso and McAllen, Texas, finding about 30 per cent of those tested were not related to the children they claimed were their own, an official told the Washington Examiner.
The official said that these were not cases of step-fathers or adoptive parents.
'Those were not the case. In these cases, they are misrepresented as family members,' the official said.
It is unclear whether every family unit was tested during the pilot, or only those who raised some sort of red flag. An ICE spokesman did not immediately respond to request for comment.
The official said that some migrants did refuse the test and admit that they were not related to the children they were with, when they learned their claim would be subjected to DNA proof.
ICE said the Department of Homeland Security would look at the results of the pilot to determine whether to roll out rapid DNA tests more broadly.
After President Donald Trump's administration backpedaled on 'family separation' in the face of enormous backlash last summer, the number of family units arriving at the southern border has skyrocketed.
Current U.S. law and policy means that Central Americans who cross the border illegally with children can claim asylum and avoid any lengthy detention in most cases.

I think Pres Trump's observation that they're not sending their best is rather vindicated.
It is ironic that many people here are actively sympathizing with illegals and coyotes who break up families and commit massive fraud (endangering children in the process) while simultaneously claiming that the policy of separating families before was completely morally bankrupt.
The criticism seems to only go one with the Liberals.
They love questions, but not answers.
They love attacking wealthy and powerful nations and peoples, but really hate it when you notice anything unseemly about someone who isn't part of the power structures they despise.
