Uncle abandons 6-year-old illegal immigrant boy in Arizona desert

While official Washington’s attention has been focused this week on President Trump and illegal immigrant parents separated from their children, Border Patrol agents in Arizona spotted a completely different type of family separation.

Agents say they were patrolling the border road near Lukeville, Arizona, on Tuesday night when the discovered a 6-year-old Costa Rican boy abandoned on the road in 100-degree heat.

The child told the agents he’d been dropped off on the road by his uncle, who’d told him the Border Patrol would pick him up, agents said. The boy said his mother was an illegal immigrant living in the U.S., and his uncle told the boy the American government would take him to her.

Since officials know his mother, he’ll likely eventually be delivered to her, at taxpayer expense, even though she’s in the U.S. illegally.

One federal judge has said that process amounts to the U.S. completing the smuggling cycle that the boy’s family started.

Ahh...”uncle” most definitely should be in quotations since it’s not, with near certainty, an actual uncle.

So, deliver him. Arrest the mother on pickup, and deport them both.

Imagine an American parent or parents, here in the U.S. as legal as can be to be here, dragging their young children across the Sonoran or Chihuahuan desert on foot with little water or food for days. Camping under desert scrub trees among the scorpions, tarantulas and rattle snakes.

What would happen to them if the authorities found them? Think child welfare services might take an interest?
Maybe take the children into custody and take the parent/s to court to fight to get them back?

That is true. Any stray male that cohabits with a woman with kids is automatically termed an ‘uncle’.

In Asia uncle is a generic term for kid to older men.

There probably never was any ‘Uncle’.
‘The boy is used to calling any older man in charge
‘Mi Tio’.

A well thought out plan of vengeance against Mexico was suggested Mark Levin last night.
Mark went nuts saying don’t upset Mexico because we are thankful to not have missiles aimed at us or Muslims against us on a border like Russia has and other countries. So what?
Does he really naively think Mexico is our friend? Mexico is destabilizing white America to destroy us by ruining our budgets,police forces,leadership,election vote security,neighborhood safety and all else.
We have to pay for their visitors on two legs streaming in from south of Mexico and invading the US? Friend? Nope, enemy.

Sorry,Mark. You are wrong. Go back to lovingly gazing at your image in the mirror, Mark.—signed Me,a big fan and regular listener.
