I spent 22 years of my life living a mile from the Mexico border and Acuna Mexico, I do not need some reporter to tell me what to think. One little defining detail that we saw in the influx of scumbags invading Europe, they were mainly men. What is it with stupidity and common sense, are they like oil and water and never mix? Are ALL of the people having bad times in central america young men? Maybe that should be a red flag to look at.
There are a few women and children, and I will admit that they might have started out as needing some help, but Jeez they have passed many towns where some might make a new life and be safe from whatever bogeymen that were chasing them back home. Things do not add up, they never do, and the foolish people who take pity on them do not see the real plights that the weaker ones go through. The women and kids are terrorized and raped by the bad men, the cartels get money to make sure these people make the trip, they are not allowed to just walk free and screwup a business that the drug cartels are finding very profitable. If they let these folks through without charging them the "tax" of about 5 grand per head, they will lose face with the smugglers and coyotes who make a good living running drugs and slaves through their operation.
The fools do not get the real story, their rooting for these people to make it are putting them at a horrible risk, many will have unspeakable horrors dropped on them as the smugglers impose their will on them. THAT is what the refugees are not told, the death, rapes, beatings and all things terrible, that will await them on their trip. The media and the American people who think this is okay are ignorant to the real truth. Subjecting these people to that in the name of politics, is akin to aiding and abetting the nasty acts that are going to be done to these folks.
But by all means, keep tossing out stupid media stories, which paint rainbows and unicorns all over the place, but take solace in the fact that the horrors that most of these folks will endure, is exactly what they have been running from, or even worse, back home.
