Official: Illegal Immigrants Renting Children To Pose as Families at Border | News Radio 1200 WOAI

At the Texas border with Mexico, federal agents says there has been a surge in the trend of migrants bringing unrelated kids with them through the immigration process as a way to get special treatment.
Testifying before a Senate Committee, the Department of Homeland Security’s head of investigations Greg Navano said there are now reports that the smugglers are renting kids out.
"A 51 year old Honduran male confessed that he was not the father of the infant child he initially claimed to be his son, and purchased the child for $84," he said.

this is why the Asylum "Show up anywhere and you can apply, if you have kids to the front of the line" policy is ****ing stupid, leads to abuse. When a country loses control of its border, its sovereignty , bad **** happens.

The democrats are making the coyotes and cartels very rich!
 
Hopefully, anti-Trumpers will finally come to their senses and blame those who have put these children in harm's way to begin with...
 
Congress' failure to fix our immigration law is a gross dereliction of duty. Fixing it will be better for both US citizens and would-be immigrants.

I personally would like to know how often this is happening and what the consequences are for people caught renting children in order to fraudulently present themselves for an asylum claim.

At a minimum should it not be an instant felony and instant disqualification for ever being granted permission to be here?

I would also think it would be considered kidnapping of a minor and attempting to cross international lines with the victim.

How seriously is this being treated?

Go figure, basically reward people for bringing children and people will find children to bring.

Protestations of helplessness wearing thin about now...

Yes, everyone blames the predators and scam artists exploiting children. But there's not much the US can do about that. Not much they can do until they have the children in hand. Then, the US COULD do something humanitarian to comfort and ease the troubles the children find themselves wrapped up in if the will was there. Could, in other words, be part of the solution instead of part of the problem.
Just curious- if there's a Republican in the White House, do you criticize anything the government does/doesn't do?

Taking in the children while not fixing the law, is not a solution. It is a perpetuation of the problem. As long as the lure exists and the law allows, people will bring children here, either their own or ones they've been paid to bring.

Was it a dereliction of duty two years ago? Or did it just become an emergency when it became the Democrat's job to fix it?
Remind me, when was the first time the term 'national emergency' was used to describe the border situation? I don't remember hearing it until the Republicans lost the House.
A lot changed in one day, apparently. Or, you guys are being led around by the noses and likeing it.

I guarantee you there are those in the “abolish ICE” crowd that would still argue they only did it due to being desperate. If there’s one thing I’ve learned is that there is a large contingent of people for whom advocating any kind of accountability on the part of the illegal immigrant is a non starter.

Hopefully the situation will quit getting worse under Trump. So far his only plan for energizing his base seems to be throwing brown skinned children into American Concentration Camps, and then not feeding them properly, or allowing them proper hygiene. Trump's "Not as bad as the Nazi's Concentration Camps".

And responsibility for that falls on someone other than Trump and those who support him? :roll:


What is it about so many Evangelical and Fundamental Christians refusing to take responsibility for their actions? It's almost like they think they have a magical friend who absolves them of all responsibility.

It's been an emergency for years. Or did you not notice that 12-20 million illegal immigrants are here and that probably 1 million more will get in this year? Congress has failed. Both parties have failed. Trump is trying to make a Herculean effort to fix it by himself while being opposed by the Dems, the Rinos, the courts and the media. The establishment wants the status quo. Only the average American taxpayer and Trump want to fix the problem.

The plight of the children rests on Democrats and weak Republicans who refused to get on board with securing the border or revising immigration law. If that had been done, none of these camps would exist.

The lure is the jobs provided to illegal immigrants by gready bastard employers wanting to take advantage of cheap labour but unable to relocate to a maquiladora zone. Most of them are Democrats, you figure?
And the problem I was referring to was the condition of the children. That problem is entirely in the hands of the US government. Up to them, entirely, whether the terrible turn the lives those of kids have taken, the hardships they've had to endure is eased or compounded by the US government. Part of that problem, or part of trying to solve it. Which would you choose?

According to CBP stats, there were over 20,000 unaccompanied minors apprehended at the Southwest border in April and May.

What kind of failed cultures would allow children to take off on their own and attempt to illegally enter another Nation?

Nope, it became an emergency with a huge increase in US southern border jumpers.

While I wouldn't argue there are employers who knowingly hire illegal aliens, and they should lose their business and be jailed, the vast majority of illegal aliens use stolen identities and forged documents to get jobs.

Should employers have the power to act as ICE agents?

California made it illegal for employers to engage with Immigration officials in an attempt to make sure their employees are legal.

You can't fix it with a slight house majority. You need more votes than that. Its a dereliction of duty to not support fixing this no matter who votes against it.

When border crossings hit over 100,000 a month. Democrats decided to leap from manufactured crisis to a humanitarian crisis once they got caught lying about the situation.

A lot changed in less than a month and Democrats refuse to vote to fix the problem or allow any security measures DHS and Border Patrol are begging for which is more barriers to stop these attempted crossings and funnel these people to a port of entry. I don't understand why this is so difficult to understand since Democrats have built over 700 miles of barriers prior to Trump making it a campaign promise. Hence where the real problem lies.

On the radio here, AM, they had a border patrol officer who said "It's not uncommon to see the same kids with different adults crossing over and over and over."

Seems the left was protesting Wayfair selling beds to be used by the migrants. A large contingent of their employees walked off their jobs. Maybe they have no interest in fixing this problem.

And that's it, in a bit shell.


I've been saying this for years...I,carcerate the businesses that employ them. The end.

The question, veritas, was which would you choose? Ease the plight of hundreds of helpless children or be part of the nightmare their lives have become?

Never gonna happen, though. Much better to do the bread-and-circuses, rabble-pleasing mockery for the great unwashed mass of voters and let business be as usual.
