Put into foster care, raised by loving American foster parents, and when they’re adults, booted out of the country because no one filed their naturalization papers, or whatever.

That’s a best-case scenario. The reality is that the foster care is unvetted, sometimes is actually human traffickers, sometimes is people looking for child labor, sometimes is child molesters… where kids are going missing at an alarming rate. The “whatever” right now is warehousing (like in a literal warehouse, surrounded by chain-link fences, with 24 hour lighting).
