How does a child help you immigrate into the USA?

They will just deport the whole family.

I was curious so I googled (I'm a Brit and not up on the US)

It seems:

> Borderwide, about 15 percent of single adults and 65 percent of families are released into the U.S. rather than expelled, according to Customs and Border Protection data from April.

>Hastings said they are released not because of official Biden administration policy but because Mexican authorities refuse to take back more than a certain number each day. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/immigration/under-biden-cro...

So I guess you cross illegally with a dingy or some such, hope to be in the 65% and then apply for asylum.
