As Central American migrants continue to travel to the U.S. seeking asylum, children are in some cases still being separated from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border. There is no telling how many children were previously separated from their parents, who may never be reunited again, due to poor record keeping.

Dr. Irwin Redlener, an internationally celebrated pediatrician and co-founder and president emeritus of the Children’s Health Fund, tells Bob why the situation at our border isn’t something that can easily be rectified.
