MSNBC’s Gutierrez: Migrant Parents Are ‘Now Deliberately Sending Their Kids into This Country Alone’ Because of Biden’s Policies

‘They know they will be allowed to stay’

EXCERPT:

MELVIN: “... Vice President Harris will head to Mexico City tonight. A big part of the agenda there will, of course, be our southern border. And this morning we're getting a closer look at a new challenge that’s emerging there. Migrant parents now deliberately sending their kids into this country alone. It's -- it's become a new kind of self-separation. NBC's Gabe Gutierrez has made his way to Texas. He is along the southern border there for us in La Joya. Gabe, this comes as — you know, after the Biden administration’s decision to allow these unaccompanied minors to stay in the United States, take us through what you are seeing there firsthand.”
GUTIERREZ: “Yeah, that’s right, Craig. And it’s something we have been hearing over and over again in the last couple of days as we've been not just here on this side of the border but across the border over in Reynosa, Texas. As you mentioned, this idea of self-separation, these migrant parents facing the difficult decision and sending some of their young children over the border because they know they will be allowed to stay and potentially reunite with relatives here in the United States.”
