Where Is the Anger Over Children Suffering at the Border?
By Andrew R. Arthur on May 31, 2019
Two articles that appeared in the past few days underscore the fact that there is a disaster unfolding along the border, and that the worst victims are children who are being exploited and abused by their parents to gain entry into the United States. My question is: where is the outrage?
On May 28, 2019, the Washington Post ran an article by Maria Sacchetti about the situation at the border in Yuma, Ariz., titled "The crush of children at Arizona's border shows a U.S. immigration system on the brink." She notes that half of the aliens apprehended along the border in the Yuma Sector of the U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) have been children, for a very simple reason:
Asylum-seeking migrants arriving dusty and exhausted here in recent days said it is easier than ever to enter the United States — if they surrender with a child. Because minors generally cannot be held for long periods, most are released with their families or to a shelter.
