They did the same thing here, coming from central America, claiming to be minors, men in their twenties even attending schools. HHS didn’t want to be rude by questioning their age but sure didn’t mind putting our own kids around possibly dangerous men.
Often there is a host family and as soon as they are assigned and arrive there they “escape” and go to whatever destination they have plans to go to...and most have plans as their families are paying for them to arrive ‘as a refugee’ so that later they too can come in, not to mention those who are faking who their parents are in order to get family members in.
HHS didn't want to be rude? Are you kidding?
My uncle was on the border patrol in Arizona and they are NEVER rude. They simply do their job. They can spot or hear a LIE at 20 yards. They go through cars and TRUCKS (especially) crossing the line with a fine-tooth comb.
AND there are ALWAYS snitches.
The U.S. Border Patrol does have a tough time, though, with the coyotes: Mexican people smugglers shipping the illegals to the USA for pesos and dollars.
They take them to the AMERICAN farmers and businesses because the illegals are fearful since they are outside of the law and will work for next-to-nothing.
MOST send their money back to Mexico. HSS said that each year both the legal and illegal Mexican laborers send some $14 billion back HOME to Mexico.
Estoy cansada. Ya me voy.
Buenas noches, Señor.
Duerma bien.
