Girl's solo journey to US border shows risks parents take
2021-03-24
What Egyptian readers are learning about the migration to America, that what the parents are knowingly doing to their children is evil.
[AlAhram] Nearly 9,500 migrant children arrived at the border in February, up 60% from a month earlier

The Honduran girl, 7 years old and surrounded by strangers in the pre-dawn darkness, was determined to keep pace with the other migrants colonists headed for the U.S. border.
At seven she most certainly cannot become an undocumented worker, doing the work Americans refuse to do, making her just an illegal alien.
Her father, she told an News Agency that Dare Not be Named journalist, had traveled with her by bus for 22 days across Mexico. Then, he went back to their homeland -- but not before he placed her in the hands of a young man who was to help her cross the river into Texas.
At least, starting in Honduras, she and Pops didn’t have to pass on foot through the Darien Gap, the roadless jungle between Columbia and Panama bereft of all modern comforts and infested by bandits. Many of those who go in are never seen again, and many of those lost are the parents of the unexpectedly unaccompanied children who emerge.
``He just said to go on my own and take care of myself,'' she said.

#1  Thoughts:
1) if someone has the guts and determination to take those kind of risks to get here, they have more worth than 95% of our homegrown wokesters and have the potential to be better Americans. They are the kind of people you want for fellow citizens.
2) How do you separate the ones who take that chance to earn a better living and be productive in a new life from those who take the chance just to batten off those who produce something of value?
3) Answer to #2 - legal immigration with rigorous screening out of criminals and leeches.
