State governors from both parties have reacted cooly to efforts by the Obama administration to gain their support for placing thousands of unaccompanied Central American children with friends or family members.
Would MS-13 would count as friends or family members?
The Mariel boatlift from Cuba in 1980 is an example of how this “immigration gateway” is supposed to work. Only, the persons who were boatlifted to American shores were the very worst of criminals who had been imprisoned in Cuba for a variety of crimes, not all of which were political, as well as many of the inmates of mental institutions. The new arrivals were scattered all over the US, and within months, many of them were back in US prisons, for new infractions of the law committed while on US soil, or for poor assimilation into US society.
Buried inside this huge influx of new invaders, are the real criminals, hiding behind a human shield of the young and very young. This plan may not have been organized within the US, but it certainly fits in with the goals and objectives of those who want to fundamentally transform this country.
This clearly tests the limits of human compassion.
The new arrivals are almost surely going to end up in something like a concentration camp. The right thing to do is to send them back to their home countries with all possible alacrity and dispatch.
And sometimes the home country is NOT Guatemala, or Honduras, or El Salvador, or Belize. Yemen or Syria or Palestine, maybe?
