Illegals are the worst parents in the world

The New York Times meant its story to cast illegal aliens in a sympathetic light. But as I read it, I realized that illegal aliens are the worst parents in the world because they abandon their children and leave them to fend for themselves among child rapists and thieves.

The story began, as propaganda often does, with a tug at our emotions.

The Times said, "The children tumbled out of a white van, dazed and tired, rubbing sleep from their eyes.

"They had been on their way north, traveling without their parents, hoping to cross the border into the United States.

"They never made it.

"Detained by Mexican immigration officers, they were brought to a shelter for unaccompanied minors in Ciudad Juárez, marched in single file and lined up against a wall for processing. For them, this facility about one mile from the border is the closest they will get to the United States.

" 'Mommy, I have bad news for you,' one of the girls at the shelter, Elizabeth, 13, from Honduras, recalled telling her mother on the phone. 'Don’t cry, but Mexican immigration caught me.' "

I have bad news for Elizabeth.

Mommy does not care about her. If Mommy did, she would not send Elizabeth alone on a 1,200-mile journey led by criminals.

In fact, Mommy abandoned Elizabeth 4 years ago when she left Elizabeth in Honduras to go live in Maryland. Elizabeth said, "When my mother left, I felt my heart left, my soul."

The Times said, "The mother had taken out loans to support Elizabeth. When loan sharks came after the family seeking repayment, she went to the United States to look for work, Elizabeth said,"

So Mommy left a mess for Elizabeth, then 9, to clean up.

The story said, "Elizabeth’s mother landed a good job in landscaping in Maryland, and wanted to spare her daughter the treacherous journey to the United States. But when the grandmother’s health left her unable to care for Elizabeth, it was the girl’s turn to say goodbye."

Rather than returning to Honduras to care for her mother or to at least to rescue her daughter, Mommy sent the child on a long journey fraught with danger.

I do not exaggerate the known dangers.

HuffPo reported, "80% Of Central American Women, Girls Are Raped Crossing Into The U.S."

The Miami Herald reported, "Smugglers throw 6-month-old girl into river near US-Mexico border, Texas officials say."

Donald Trump was right. They really are rapists and murderers.

Overwhelmingly, the people separating children from their parents are the parents, not U.S. authorities. 

The Times story said, "They will wait in shelters in Mexico, often for months, for arrangements to be made. Then, they will be deported."

Their home countries don't want them back. 

The Times said, "The journey north is not an easy one, and the children who brave it have to grow up fast.

"At the shelter, most of them are teenagers, but some are as young as 5. Traveling alone, without parents — in groups of children, or with a relative or a family friend — they may run into criminal networks that often take advantage of migrants, and into border officers determined to stop them. But they keep trying, by the thousands." 

Who in the heck sends a 5-year-old alone on a 1,200-mile journey?

Who in the heck sends a 5-year-old alone on a 1,200-mile journey knowing that the people escorting the child likely will rape him or her?

Democrats encourage this abandonment of children to fend for themselves. 

The story said, "In 2018, 1,318 children were admitted into shelters for unaccompanied minors in Ciudad Juárez, the local authorities said. By 2019, the number of admissions had grown to 1,510 children, though it dipped to 928 last year because of the pandemic.

"But in the first two and a half months of this year, the number has soared to 572 — a rate that, if kept up for the rest of the year, would far surpass 2019, the highest year on record."

Putting Biden in the Oval Office was a signal to illegals that the border is open again.

Illegals are the worst parents in the world. The Times story proved it.
