It’s Not Nice to Abandon Your Children — Another Look at the Border
By David North on April 13, 2021
Let’s try to have a realistic conversation about the crisis at the border and a not-to-be-mentioned aspect of it.
Let’s start with the basic concept that it’s not nice to abandon your children.
Every time an “unaccompanied minor†crosses the border without his or her parents, we are dealing with parents abandoning their children. Sometimes the abandonment was in the past, when the parents left their kids behind (in, say, Central America) in a successful effort by the parents to come to the U.S. illegally; now they use coyotes to smuggle the kids into the U.S. to join them.
Sometimes the child (or teenager) is sent ahead, in the hopes that the parents can join them in the U.S. later. Sometimes the parents are in nearby Mexico, and the children have been sent over the border, which is often a river, and often a dangerous one.
But the family has split itself in all of these scenarios — the split was not a governmental action.
Why do the media and the Left not see it that way?
