'Unprecedented surge' of families coming to the border is 'overwhelming' immigration system, nonpartisan group says.
"The surge in FMU migration will continue to soar, endangering more and more children making the treacherous 2,000 mile trek to our border and crossing illegally into the U.S. at dangerous and remote areas between ports of entry , until the dynamics causing this trend are changed," the report said.
The report says that families should not be separated but "current laws do not give CBP discretion to keep children together with a grandparent or other close relative acting in a guardian-type role other than their parent." The advisers suggest that the centers have a staff of 3 to 4 to "shelter all FMUs apprehended at the border and, among other things, provide safe and sanitary shelter, to include medical screening and care, credible fear examinations, vetting for identity and familial relationship, and evaluations for public health and safety, national security and flight risk."
"Roll back the Flores Decision by exempting children accompanied by a parent or relative, who is acting as the guardian of the child. DHS also should be given discretion to detain a close relative with a non-parent family member when this is in the best interest of the child," the council recommended.
