To be clear: this behavior on the part of CBP, ICE, TSA, USCG and DHS is not limited to the US/Mexico border. It happens at ALL US border stations, including international airports far from the “physical” borders. Neither is it limited to illegal aliens, “wanted” persons, or “persons of interest” in investigations, or refugees. Even citizens of the States are treated with, at best, hostility, as a matter of routine. When their skin color is not white, and/or when their manner of speech is distinctly not an English accent or dialect of North America, they are treated especially badly.

Do some research. Many of the immigrants are from the south and seek refuge. They skipped over Mexico and come to the United States. They are supposed to enter the closest country. Also, the mass migration was staged. Hundreds of miles walked and shoes not wearing out.

Do you know the dangers to stay in Mexico for these families who not only don’t have any resources to stay there, but also that can suffer from cartel violence such as extortion and prostitution?? You don’t understand the dangers or what’s worse, you don’t care. To say they should ask for asylum in every country they go through is anti human rights, anti refugee rights

Left wingers act like it’s everyone’s right to just walk into another country. Let me ask you this. If 10 people rocked up at your doorstep, attempted to force entry to your house and illegally enter, would you be high fiving them ? Would you pay for them with your money ? Would you let them stay indefinitely? Well that’s exactly what happens when they illegally enter a country with the expectation it’s their right.

Obviously she has no cultural bias or agenda. The responsibility of the children is the parents. These children are in this situation due to their parents, focus on the failure of the country they came from. End of the problem!

Are China and Israel racist for having borders, too? Illegal immigrants are an insult to legal immigrants who actually made an effort to come to America.

You don’t mention, at any point, the responsibility of the parents putting their children at risk. There is also a difference between legal and illegal immigrants and you don’t talk about that either.

Feel bad, feel bad for other peoples children……. no everyone isn’t responsible for the beautiful children of other nations. No to open borders, love our own children first. Don’t be taken advantaged of if you love yourself. If you can’t love yourself, you have zero love to give. 85 percent of border guards are Hispanic ❤️

We get the single people who are illegally immigrating to our country, and we help the Mexican government so people don’t want to immigrate to our country, lets face it, we can’t say that Mexico is a good place or else there wouldn’t be so many illegal immigrants.
