I didn't catch the fact that the boy was born in Canada. Still, does that give the parents automatic rights? I'm sure there are ways to provide foster care for the boy if they want that.

Just the same, Dickey, I think that Canada should step in. Whether or not they do, is another matter. It depends on whether or not immigration believes their story.

170 children in detention by the U.S.? You are comparing this to the plight of 1 Canadian boy? Why? To ignore the plight of 170 children while pointing the finger at Canada is mean-spirited if you ask me.
