Probably some were that way.  I would bet most of them weren't, though.

Well, since this is the hot topic for you

According to figures released by the Department of Homeland Security, 3,881 children were separated from their families from 2017 to 2021. (We do not know how many under Obama as records were not kept) About 74% of those have been reunited with their families: 2,176 before the task force was created and 689 afterward.

But that still leaves nearly 1,000 children. Of those, 148 are in the reunification process. The department pledged to continue the work until all separated families that can be found have the opportunity to reunite with their children.

Minors, who could not be held in criminal custody with their parents, were transferred to the Department of Health and Human Services. They were then typically sent to live with a sponsor, often a relative or someone else with a connection to the family.

There appears by all three administrations (Obama, Trump, Biden) efforts to respect these children that were put in harms way by their parents. No administration is at fault, they did not decide to illegally enter another country. Link below...
