Cruz: Immigrant Children Were Ordered By Human Traffickers To Cut Off Fingers, Ears Of Other Kids
CBS News Local ^ | June 23, 2014

Posted on 06/23/2014 3:10:19 PM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

At Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Republican U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz and Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott emerged from a tour calling the situation a “humanitarian crisis” — the same way President Barack Obama has described more than 52,000 children who’ve entered the country illegally in recent months.

“We are witnessing a humanitarian crisis unfolding that is the direct consequence of President Obama’s lawlessness,” Cruz said. “We just toured this Air Force facility, where up to 1,200 children are being cared for… but they have come through harrowing circumstances.” Cruz said his experience at the temporary shelter was “heartbreaking.”

Cruz and Abbott say they were told stories of children being ordered by human traffickers to cut off fingers and ears of other kids as a way of extorting money.

Culture is crucial - and the culture of Central/South America is deeply incompatible with America’s culture.

So it’s the perfect fit for Obama’s Alien Army of Cultural Destruction that he is sending upon us.

I hope somebody puts this on youtube. Maybe if people put up information about what is going on at the border, it can start a movement. I hope people take pictures of what is going on whether it is at the border or at any of the places illegals are being dropped off. The Feds can tell the Border Patrol what to do but they cannot tell the American public what they can and cannot do.

It has gotten to the point where we have to ask ourselves whether we can afford to take more as it will only encourage still others to make the journey. Where will it end?

I am glad that I stopped voting for Democrats over thirty years ago. I only wish that more people had done the same. The Dems are nothing more than a criminal organization.

Culture isn’t just a coat of paint, it goes much deeper than that. People are socialized at their earliest years and they continue the same type of socialization to their own children.

I am in total agreement. It is the benefits that attracts them.

Yes, Ted Cruz's wife, Heidi Nelson Cruz, works for Goldman Sachs. Here is an
interesting read about their life that may not be that well known.

Great article thanks for posting it. Unfortunately, the comments at the end are telling of what is wrong with people in this country. I guess this is a California publication?
