South Americans laugh at us. We are a joke with our laws and red tape and they happily are aware of the bleeding hearts that allows them to enter...and stay.

I feel nothing but empathy for this poor kid.

Maria, a 17-year-old, paid a coyote to bring her into the United States after her brother was killed by a gang and she was threatened with death if she did not join it. Fighting tears, she described to Díaz-Balart the process of crossing the border as horrible and explained that she decided to enter the country just to save my own life so that I could live my dreams, so I could help my family. Deportation would be a tragedy, it would be a certain death for me, she added. Everything thats happened to me in my life, I would just know that that would be the last day. Watch it:
It's fucking incredible that people want to turn their backs on these kids.
Even moreso since it was this country that created the hellholes they live in.
Many European immigrant accounts of their experience at Ellis Island emphasized the hopefulness of arrival and the often confusing and sometimes frightening aspects of inspection. Steerage passengers entering New York Harbor boarded ferries for Ellis Island (American-born passengers and those travelling first and second class were examined on board ship). After being tagged with their number from the ships official listing, immigrants walked into the baggage room where they were encouraged to check their belongings. Then they moved up the steps to the second-floor registry room in the Great Hall, where they were evaluated by medical inspectors looking for contagious diseases and physical disabilities, and by legal inspectors checking that names, birthplaces, ages, and occupations matched ship registries and ascertaining that immigrants were not likely to become wards of the state. Stories from prior travelers helped immigrants rehearse answers for the inspectors, and provided strategies for passing through successfully, for example, discretely passing the same twenty-five dollars from immigrant to immigrant to preempt the requirement for proving self-support. A literacy test for immigrants over fourteen was administered after 1917.
It is a dreadful situation what those poor refugee children have had to endure and are now undergoing as well right here in this country. Many in Washington and elsewhere have coldly turned their backs on them. It is terrible to see incidences like what you have presented. And yet two lawmakers in Washington want to rollback the law that President Bush signed in 2008 that gives these refugee children some relief and allows them to get their day in court before deportation. What could be fairer than that? Life is extremely hard for them in Central America and there can be no doubt that with the situation and threats they have received in their home country if they were to be returned they would surely perish. I, for one, could not ever have that on my conscience that I would prefer for them to go back and die rather than lift a finger to help them when I could clearly do so. I just couldn't. May God help and bless those children and bring quick relief to them that they are most deserving of until they get their day in court to decide their fate.Saw this today.
