I sent this email today to The Department of Homeland Security. It finally solves the problem of broken families seeking asylum! (Yes. I sent it)

Re: Tracking of Lost children
FR: Joe Urban
Some liberals are complaining because the children of immigrants have been taken from their parents. One of the things they complain about is that once separated it may be difficult or impossible to reunite parents and children.
I have a practical, intelligent solution to this problem.
As the process works now: Once the child is taken from a parent the child is put in a tent city or housed in some other facility for children. The parent then has to prove he is a legitimate asylum seeker. This can take some time. In the long process the parent may be sent back to where they came from. But the child may be lost somewhere in the system.
As it should work: How do we unite the child with the parents? Easy.
Every time an immigrant and their kids come to the US seeking asylum we process them in this manner.
The parents and all the children are given identical identity numbers. These unique numbers will be based on where they come from.
For example, if they come from Honduras they would be given an ID number that begins with an H. From Guatemala give them one that begins with a G. Etc.
So: H3476YTT9X would be a family fleeing from Honduras. All members would have the same number.
But how could we be sure that someone might not lie about their number? Problem solved.
These numbers would be tattooed in some color ink that would show up good on brown skin. I suggest a tattoo on the arm or neck so it is easy to see. So, all members of a family, once they apply for asylum, would be given the same permanent tattoo ID number.
Also, this would make it easy to figure out where the kids are from once you take them from their mothers. Especially the really little ones who might not know where they live. Now, you could put all the “G”s in one tent, the “H”s in another tent, etc. This would make them happy to be with their own kind.
Finally, once the parents are released. Sent back to where they came from or in some rare cases given asylum, it would be easy to find their kids. You could just have a website that had all the family ID numbers. When a parent is released or deported that number is listed for all to see.
These could be checked every day by the guys who are holding onto the kids. If a number matches. BINGO. Send the kid back to the parents.
This would also eliminate a lot of bureaucracy and unnecessary paperwork. You would not have to keep written files since the numbers are permanent. And if they tried to enter again illegally you can nail them at the border! Also, if the police inside the US suspect someone is an illegal they could take their number and check it with you !
I hope you will carefully consider this suggestion since it will make identifying these people much easier and take the guesswork out of sending kids back home to their parents.
Microchip is the new tattoo. Otherwise see no problem, Herr Joseph. (P.S. were you named after the infamous Joseph Goebbels? Just wondering…
