Turn Them Back

I rarely read the Boston Globe anymore as it is simply a shill for the Democratic party. Today's propoganda had two headline stories about illegal immigrant children who were making incredible sacrifices to get to the U.S.. One was an 18-year-old girl who was sold into prostitution by her Mexican-cartel-member family at age 13. I went through a couple boxes of Kleenex (r) hearing this sad tale.

Last night, I was driving around and heard CBS News report another breathless story about a poor immigrant child with perfect English who was taken to the U.S. illegally by his parents, lived here for a while, and then he and his family were deported. Now he is back in Honduras where his father has been killed because he was a target for gangs after having opened up a shop with his U.S.-earned wealth. (Perhaps if we hadn't allowed that family across the border in the first place, the father would be alive today?)

The mainstream media has gotten its marching orders and is working overtime to sell the story. All these poor children need is to come to the United States and become citizens, right? After all, how heartless can we be to hear these stories of plight and "do nothing."
