lawmakers have introduced legislation to make it so the kids are a pointed an thourn, but that legislation hasn't gone anyway. >> we only know of about a half a dozen children who have been reunited with parents. 2,000 more are still separated. a federal judge in california has set time lines for these reunifications. but in the meantime what is going to happen over on the next couple of weeks before the judge's decision actually goes in to effect? >> well, i imagine the attorneys will be just kind of pushing things down the road because if the child is reunited with the parent, those cases can be consolidated and the child can go forward with the parent. but the kids you really sort of wonder about, what about the children whose parents have already been deported, what about the cases if, you know, time just sort of drags on. so something that journalists will be looking at. >> christina, thank you for joining us.
