President Trump has repeatedly asked the Republican-controlled Congress to close immigration loopholes in order to end the trafficking and smuggling of children across the border by illegal aliens who hope to be released into the interior of the United States. While Trump has enacted a “zero tolerance” policy at the border — where all adult border crossers, no matter if they are traveling with children, are criminally prosecuted — Democrats have rallied around ending all immigration enforcement.
As Breitbart News noted, every Senate Democrat has signed onto legislation that would end all border enforcement, a plan that Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) said should be called the “Child Trafficking Encouragement Act,” as it sets free every adult border crosser so long as they smuggle a child across the border with them.
In detail, the White House provided Breitbart News with nine examples where MS-13 gang members — the murderous El Salvadorian gang that Democrats defended last month — used these immigration loopholes to try to enter the U.S. in hopes they would eventually be released.
Here are the nine times MS-13 gang members smuggled children across the border to try to eventually be released into the country:
1. MS-13 Gang Member Smuggles Himself and Child into U.S.
On May 2, 2018, Border Patrol apprehended an adult male who was traveling with his one-year-old son. He is a known MS-13 gang member who was previously removed from the country in 2012. The minor child was released to his uncle.

Aren’t they generally hard to hide, all covered with grotesque tattoos?
Liberal snowflakes will cry for the gang members because they’re stupid little stinky turds.
Not usually appreciated is that MS-13 is really a US gang, most of its members are in the US proper, most of its recruits are US residents.
Stopping foreign members from entering is a red herring, a nearly irrelevant part of the problem.
The real source of MS-13 is the fact of a large number of Central Americans already in the US, which are the recruiting pool for the gang. It is this Central American, unintegrated population, constantly refreshed from abroad by illegal and legal immigrants, that feeds this.
To stop MS-13, stop immigration from Central America for a generation.
This is what baffled me. Why the hue and cry over calling this particular gang “animals”? I don’t think this is some cult of marketed image, like even Hells Angels manage to be. You gotta be all-in if you wanna be a MS13.
Just WHO SAYS shooting them at the border is such a bad deal?
It’s LOOKING BETTER and better to me as time goes on.
80% of “children” in custody are unaccompanied but the lame street media whines over the 20% that are separated from their alleged parents because of criminal prosecution.
A way needs to be found to lay every one of the illegals problems on the Democrat’s doorstep & make sure the whole population knows about it every time there is an incident.
You take the Right and take away reason and accountability.
Our immigration laws are destroying our nation. Why not put a 5-year moratorium on it?
