SNIP:
Congressman Steve King Is Right: Immigration Reform Ignores Narco Reality
Apparently facts don't matter in politics.
In the public relations campaign to pass a so-called immigration reform act the political establishment ludicrously insists that none of the illegal juvies in the U.S. from Mexico are involved in the drug trade.
The absurd claims were made by the act's supporters after Congressman Steve King stated that for every illegal kid who is a school valedictorian "there’s another hundred out there . . . hauling seventy-five pounds of marijuana across the desert," and "those people would be legalized with the same act." Congressman King was roundly condemned by weenie politicians within both parties for supposedly demonizing illegal aliens with a broad stereotype.
However, Congressman King was speaking the truth, and it's his critics who are ignoring the facts.
No one is denying that many of the illegal aliens in the juvie set are good people who simply were dragged into the United States by their lawbreaking parents. However, it's absurd to claim that they all are sympathetic souls just yearning to become school valedicitorians or attain some other lofty goal in their pursuit of the American dream.
Unfortunately, many children and young teens are serving as so-called mules to smuggle drugs over the border. For example, the Texas Department of Public Safety recently warned parents that the Mexican cartels are recruiting children to do their dirty work including one 12-year-old boy who was caught "driving a stolen pick up truck with more than 800 pounds of marijuana" as reported by Fox News Latino. Indeed, it's routine for teens to be apprehended at the Zaragoza Bridge carrying pot loads on their backs from Juarez, Mexico into El Paso, Texas as reported by El Paso Times. Similarly, in southern California, the Mexican cartels are recruiting children as young as eleven to smuggle product over the border as reported by The Huffington Post: "more than 5,000 young people, most of them Latinos, have been held in San Diego County jails over the last two years."
Sadly, some kids -- known as narco juniors -- even have become hitmen for the cartels.
