At a shelter for migrants across the border from McAllen, Texas, Jennys Aguilar Cardenas and other women have heard about mothers being released with their babies, about children being reunited with relatives in the U.S.

Aguilar Cardenas, a single mother of four, tried to enter the U.S. alone last year. She barely made it over the Rio Grande before she was caught and sent back to Honduras. This time, she brought her young daughter, Keillin Mareli, on the 1,400-mile journey.

Sandra Calidono, said she's also heard vague stories about the U.S. offering political asylum to children. "Almost all the families in Honduras are emigrating because they heard this talk," she said, watching her 3-year-old daughter playing with a migrant boy even younger.

More fatherless children, desperately poor.
You'd think that perhaps the grandparents might help.

Children's future: pimps, prostitutes and drug dealers.

Obama and the Democrats are orchestrating voter fraud openly and on an unprecedented scale without so much as token opposition.

The governments of Mexico and Central America are conspiring to dump their excess populations on the USA and get revenue from money sent back home. The USA should tax money transmittals to Mexico and Central America to offset the costs of illegal immigration.
