OMG, 
just looked at some stats and it's wild... 2022 saw a 71% increase in asylum claims for parents with young children being detained by immigration agents 
. And did you know that 85% of those kids were reunited with their families within 6 months? 
But what about the emotional toll, right? 
Studies show that separated children are more likely to develop anxiety disorders and PTSD 
. Meanwhile, in this latest case, the father is still detained in Minnesota while the toddler is back with her mom... it's just not fair 
. The government needs to rethink its policies on detaining families, especially those with young children 
. Here's a chart showing the number of family separations since 2017:

. I mean, think about it, if everyone who's not born in the US can just waltz back in whenever they feel like it, then what's the point of even having borders? It's chaos!
