This policy started because of suspicion that many of the "parents" were possibly actually child-sex or child-slave traffickers. They were bringing the kids to the US for nefarious purposes. Trump's administration, for all the bleating and bad press about separating kids from parents, simply continued the Obama policy and for the same reason. The media said not a bad word when Obama did it, but slammed Trump for the very same thing.
The question on the talk show was this: if children are being separated from their actual parents, why aren't we seeing loads of media accounts of foreign parents, either here at the border or in their home countries, frantically reporting their kids missing or demanding their return? Seems like a great thing to ask, doesn't it?
Or could it be the actual parents south of the border are glad to be rid of mouths to feed—or might have even sold their kids?

QFT. I'm no fan of Trump, but this seems believable to me. It's a typical political ploy to bleat about "the childrun" and get the predicted, general freak out reaction from the public.
