A 12-Year-Old’s Trek of Despair Ends in a Noose at the Border
The New York Times ^ | Jim Dwyer

Posted on 04/27/2014 5:39:37 PM PDT by ObamahatesPACoal

Noemi Álvarez Quillay took the first steps of the 6,500-mile journey to New York City from the southern highlands of Ecuador on Tuesday, Feb. 4, after darkness fell.

A bashful, studious girl, Noemi walked 10 minutes across dirt roads that cut through corn and potato fields, reaching the highway to Quito. She carried a small suitcase. Her grandfather Cipriano Quillay flagged down a bus and watched her board. She was 12.

There's one thing that the pigs who own,and manage,the NY Times will never admit.That is,while they'd have no problem seeing them during daylight hours (hey,*somebody’s* gotta do the landscaping),if thy ever saw this girl,or her parents,in their obscenely rich neighborhoods of New Canaan or Chappaqua after dark they'd be on the phone to the Connecticut or New York State police in a heartbeat.

Is this going to be like the 8 year old heroin addict story?

By not enforcing our immigration laws, we are enabling tragedies of this sort. The fault here lies with Obama and the corrupt Homeland Security Department.

Great sob story - let's throw out our laws, open the figgin’ boarders to anyone who wants to come here. Can't have children dying... OK New York Times... we'll dissolve the country and become emotional idiot democrats.

Or maybe we should keep illegals out and they can raise their own kids in the countries of their birth.

"The prospect of immigration reform in the United States is also enticing, Mr. Lopez said, because of the belief that anyone already in the country illegally will be allowed to stay."

This story is hardly pro-amnesty. It's the prospect of amnesty that's giving their parents false encouragement and luring these poor children to their deaths from snakebite, and from being raped and beaten by the Mara-Salvatruchas and other human traffickers and narcotraficants who are the most brutal criminals in the Northern Hemisphere. "Amnesty" lures them to misery, disease, slow death by starvation / dehydration in the Sonoran desert, and suicide.

The amnesty-purveyors are responsible for this. Starting with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

So the moral of the story is it’s dangerous trying to sneak into other people’s countries?

Except for this one.

Obama is an inspiration to people all over the world. Somehow he runs around telling everyone America is a terrible racist place run by rich white people and there is no chance to ever get ahead.

Yet, for some reason people still want to come here.

True that. But this little girl wan not from Mexico; she was from Ecuador, which itself is 2500 miles from Mexico.

I subscribe to International Living and they keep talking about how wonderful Ecuador is. I have been there, to Guayaquil, and it was a bustling city - although I heard it was somewhat dangerous in certain areas.

In fact International Living has articles about Americans living happily close to Quito. I blame the rats for enticing these people with "the roads are paved with gold" ideas. Although, as long as the rats and GOPe are in charge I guess this isn't completely wrong.

Also, I saw a NumbersUSA video a few years back and they clearly showed the folly in trying to import the world. It was fairly frightening.

The moral of the story is that if her parents had stayed in Ecuador instead of entering the USA illegally their daughter would still be alive.

I don’t think her parents loved her either. Kick the bums out for endangering the life of a child. AND MAKE THEM WALK.

“Noemi’s parents have said little publicly. Her mother, Martha V. Quillay, who works in a hair salon, spoke briefly with a reporter, then curtailed the conversation. Her father, José Segundo Álvarez Yupa, a construction worker, said it was too difficult to discuss. “These are private matters,” he said. “This is a very painful thing. It’s all over. We want to recover, we want to move on.”

I agree, it’s like saying “bummer.”

It’s too bad the girl died but that doesn’t mean we should do away with protecting our borders. Her parents should have taken better care of their daughter. She wouldn’t have been at the mercy of the scum that killed her. The dead girl didn’t make it to America but the piece of shit who murdered did.

Her parents should be charged with her death. Oh hell, what am I thinking??? It’s Bush’s fault!
