Sixta says agents told her and her sister, "You damned Hondurans are a pest in our country."

Her first cousin is Jennifer, a slender, bashful 14-year-old who crossed into Texas separately a few weeks earlier.

She's now living with her father, a television repairman, in Los Angeles. "It was horrible because they put handcuffs on my wrists and ankles when they put us on an airplane," she says, sitting in her father's tiny living room surrounded by broken TVs. "When we asked, 'Why are you putting these on?' they called us thieves and said, 'You came here to steal from our country.' "

You think they might have been coached?

NPR, why not have you and your listeners pay for EVERYTHING

NPR listeners don't even pay for NPR.

I wondered how long it would take for this nonsense to start.

This story being written was as certain to happen as the sun rising in the east.

“living with her father, a television repairman, in Los Angeles. her father’s tiny living room surrounded by broken TVs”

At the risk of being really, really cynical, I suspect very little coaching was needed-I sometimes find a novela/series I like in the evening on Telemundo-most are like the series you see on FX and the other cable channels. A big part of “Jennifer’s” story is taken right from a recent one-”Camelia La Tejana”. She certainly has the same sense of drama-for-your-mama the heroine did...

In the series, the twin brother of a narco owned a modest radio and TV shop in the US right across from Tijuana, and had radios and TV’s in a room to the side of the house-he lived there with his wife and son. The series was a bit like “Breaking Bad”, and was popular enough that a second season may be made. I think the kid got her tiny-living room/shop-in-her-father’s house straight from that series...

Thank you for that. My husband retired as a fairly senior officer. Every time that we go on post through the MP gates, my husband thanks the MP for his service to the country.

NPR and PBS are part of the administration’s war on America. Here they are following the tried-and-true of overwhelming the ability of social services to provide, then complaining that those services are deliberately being withheld; “social services” in this case meaning the USBP.

All of the complaints are exactly symptomatic of overwhelming numbers and little else.

Yep. And a cold is a virus, you don’t “catch it” from air conditioning. And yes, they are thieves stealing from the taxpayers.

"I don’t believe it. Too bad. Go home."

Yeah, one clue from this article that proves the BS, is the girl claims she got a "cold from the frigid holding area".

Um, colds aren't caused by "coldness". They're caused by viruses and bacteria.

Which you obviously picked up from fellow DISEASED ILLEGALS!
