In the Fox News Article, What Trump’s ‘zero-tolerance’ immigration policy means for children separated from families at border, it opposes the idea of immigration and detention centers mainly with children. It mentions that children don’t have it harsh like other refugees and immigrants have. According to DHS, “the child can be placed in the care of a relative already in the U.S.; however, a minor can also be put into foster care or a temporary detention center.” I feel this is a good chance for a children because they get the chance rather than be detained for so long. They mention that minors can only be detained for 20 days and transported to the Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR). DHS help minors by giving them medical attention and mental health attention as well as educational programs. I find that it’s nice they give children a chance to be able to reunite with their families within the United States. It’s difficult to be separated from your immediate family but at least the children would be safe and getting all the attention they need rather than being detained in the harsh conditions of the detention centers. I think this is a better outlook of immigrants and refugees coming into the United States because they emphasize DHS and HHS to help the minors. Although, it’s still difficult because you know parents or adults are being separated and are detained longer and don’t get the opportunities that minors get.
