Only One Child in 1,800 has been Placed?

  Read this and wonder. It's a quote from an SA Stands (an immigrant rights organization) leader. Could she be right about so few children and youth being reunited with their families?

   "It is very overwhelming, but I feel like the top priority for us right now and the top concern for us, is that only one child (at the Freeman Coliseum in San Antonio, Texas) has been officially reunited (with their family) out of the (estimated) 1,800," says Carolina Canizales.

   Could it be? Only one child has been placed out of the 1,800 or so that have arrived at the center? Just one?

    It seems it should be much simpler. They arrive. You do a quick background check on them to assure they are not MS-13, then you ask them who their family members are, and you rush them right to them. No, it should not take more than three days.

   Officials should explain why it is taking longer than this.
