I can understand someone fleeing a war zone or something similar. But these immigrants who make it to Mexico (and "Syrian" immigrants who make it to Turkey) and then continue on are simply gambling, taking on risk in a "get rich quick" scheme. Recall the young child whose body washed up on a shore in Greece, after the smuggling boat that his father was operating sank. <br /><br />I've argued that parents who try to sneak their children across borders in these circumstances should be charged with neglect and abuse. Taking their children from them is a <i>solution</i>, not a problem.Charles N. Steelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03591239571590092531noreply@blogger.com
