The characteristics of those countries:
Unable to control their borders. Results: terrorism, smuggling, crime, gangs, corrupt government. Just like the places they left.
Corrupt government. Results: anarchy. Host invites parasites to enjoy feast of blood and treasure.
Repeat cycle.
Ismael and Abraham?
Odd names for latins?
Return a couple of thousand more to their home countries, and the home folks might get the message — paying $8,000 for a coyote is a waste of money.
Cry me a river. Maybe they shouldn't be doing business with criminals.

But her aunt sobbed and her mother couldn’t bear to look. For them, the return of Ismael and Abraham – after just eight days en route to the United States – marked a quick and painful defeat for their family. They had mortgaged their home to pay $8,000 for a coyote to smuggle the cousins to the US.
Maybe someone should go to the coyote and demand the money back. If nothing else, it would be entertaining to watch.

Must be something about the native culture.
Its sad that children have been put through this but let’s be clear. The reason they were isn’t because mean old conservatives don’t want to let them in to live off the US taxpayer for the rest of their lives. The reason is because Obama, the Dems and Central American governments played them in some grand political game.
They had mortgaged their home to pay $8,000 for a coyote to smuggle the cousins to the US.

So maybe its time for the good citizens of Guatamala and other Central American countries to demand change at home.
Less than 0.001% get “turned back,” but let’s pretend that they all get turned back.
I don’t see how the living conditions described are much worse than parts of almost all of our major cities. We should clean up our own back yard.
Maybe we should pay the coyotes for them. /sarc
