The let them in to "prosecute" them was some hair-brained idea put forth by Jeff Sessions this spring. He wants to detain them, separate them from the kids, and prosecute the adults/parents to let them know that if you enter the US illegally, you will be prosecuted. He went all the way to the Border to hold a press conference to send out this message.
