And you know who would be waiting for her with open arms. Sex traffickers.

"If there was an error, Mintz, the girl’s attorney, said it may have been the result of the massive backlog in immigration cases. “The clerks don’t do it with ill intention,” she told TIME. “They’re just overworked. The system is broken. There is need for more judges, more staff."

“Ultimately, we have to have a real border, not judges,” Trump said.“Thousands and thousands of judges they want to hire. Who are these people?”

An immigration judge tried to do this to me in 1952 in New Jersey, when I was 4 years old. My parents, an American soldier and his Italian wife, would have been allowed to stay but because of a document error at the US Consulate in Italy, I was deemed "Persona non Grata" and ordered deported by myself, probably to return to Italy and end up in an orphanage. My father took a voluntary demotion in order to accept an available US Army position in Italy where we all three returned together as a family. Two years later, my father succeeded in having his US Senator from Missouri sponsor a bill in Congress that allowed my return as a "war orphan." (My dad paid a steep price for the demotion as his army career never quite recovered from the setback. He eventually went to Vietnam and some years later died from Agent Orange caused cancer.) Anyway, that's how some immigration judges can roll, with no sense of humanity, decency or compassion. I'm glad this little girl did not have to suffer a similar fate as I almost did.
