DNA tests reveal 30% of suspected fraudulent migrant families were unrelated

wash exam-

Some of the migrant families arrested at the southern border weren’t actually families.

In a pilot program, approximately 30% of rapid DNA tests of immigrant adults who were suspected of arriving at the southern border with children who weren’t theirs revealed the adults were not related to the children, an official involved in the system’s temporary rollout who asked to be anonymous in order to speak freely told the Washington Examiner Friday.

“There’s been some concern about, ‘Are they stepfathers or adopted fathers?'” the official said. “Those were not the case. In these cases, they are misrepresented as family members.”

In some incidents where Immigration and Customs Enforcement told the adults they would have to take a cheek swab to verify a relationship with a minor, several admitted the child was not related and did not take the DNA test, which was designed by a U.S. company.

  1. OMG! Trump has been locking children up who are not even related to anybody! Free the unrelated children! Shouldn’t the government start a new program to discover who these little, innocent unrelated children are related to? Perhaps the government could start adoption agencies in all of the states to find good homes for these unrelated children. Then, they could feed, clothe, house and educate them until they were old enough to register and vote for Democrats. Oh, wait! That’s what the Demographic Party is already doing.
