Wednesday, Vice President Joe Biden said the tens of thousands of unaccompanied children flooding the U.S.-Mexico border are “our kids.”

Biden said, “These are not somebody else’s kids these are our kids. These are the children that lift the national ambition of each of the countries aloft and it’s a tragedy for the counties that are losing them, and for us not being able to solve every one of their problems.”

He added rest of the world will judge America by how it treats these children.
