People voiced their confusion as it appeared many believed Trump was referring to the animal and not the common terminology for people who smuggle illegal immigrants across the border.
And here lies the issue with liberals who only know how to virtue signal: They do not know the basic facts about the issues of illegal immigration and the hardship migrants face when making the dangerous trek. Many only see immigrants and the Latino community as a whole, as a political weapon to bash Republicans with.
Anyone who has a basic understanding of the nature of the human trafficking situation at the U.S.-Mexico border understands "coyote" is the go-to phrase to describe people in the business. And they are not doing it out of the kindness of their heart. They charge large sums of money before the trip can even be made and are more than willing to leave people behind in the desert if they can not keep up or if they feel they are at risk of being caught by U.S. authorities themselves. More often than not, the coyotes are in the service of whatever drug cartel controls the region they are crossing over from.
This is not the first time their ignorance on the issue backfired. Recall in 2018 there was a big push from liberals and Democrats to post photographs of migrant kids in cages to highlight the "cruel" nature of the Trump administration. Except the only problem is the pictures they were posting were taken during the Obama administration because they were built while he was in office.
As I just came back from the U.S.-Mexico border in the El Paso Sector, even the claim from Democrats of the Trump administration not building any new wall where none existed before is not really true in practice. The previous "wall" was functionally useless in stopping illegal foot and vehicle crossings.
Recommended WSJ Columnist Zeroes In on the Real Issue Joe Biden Faces After Exposure of Shady China Deal Matt Vespa In regards to the 545 immigrant children who have been unable to be reunited with their parents, as moderator Kristin Welker asked, the Department of Homeland Security Chase Jennings said it doe not tell the whole story:
"DHS has taken every step to facilitate the reunification of these families where the parents wanted such reunification to occur. The simple fact is this: after contact has been made with the parents to reunite them with their children, many parents have refused. In the current litigation, for example, out of the parents of 485 children whom Plaintiffs’ counsel has been able to contact, they have yet to identify a single family that wants their child reunited with them in their country of origin. The result is that the children remain in the U.S. while the parents remain in their home country."
Citizens of other countries have no right to break into our country.
We do have the right to remove them when they do.
arrogance and ignorance in one package, how convenient...
There are actual people who don’t know that a coyote is basically a human smuggler? That desperate people pay extreme amounts of money to get help crossing the border?
Really hard to believe.
Heard this on Morning On the Mall this morning. Sad, so very sad.
An example of the synergy created when affirmative action meets participation-trophy mentality.
Actually the coyote is pulling a cartel which is spanish for little cart. A team of coyotes can pull a cartel of 12 small children over 70 miles in 1 day.
I think she might be proving Herrnstein and Murrays’ conclusions.
Belly laugh. Thanks.
“Through the nostrils.” That’s Babylon Bee quality right there.
she be on da shallow end of the curve
There are only two primary reasons why people try to sneak across the border:
(1) They cannot get a USA visa legally - usually because they were previously deported, or have a criminal or gang record, or cannot prove they have enough money to be self-sufficient during their USA visit.
(2) Or, many times, women and children who CAN get a visa sneak across with a husband, a boyfriend, or male family member who CANNOT get a visa.
The number of “unaccompanied minors” is a very small number compared to the first two examples.
Anyone who has a visa can buy a $25 bus ticket from Tijuana to Los Angeles, or just walk across at an official border crossing.
OH yeah... /snort
Another point...
“Coyotes” are almost 100% gang members.
Almost every mile of the USA-Mexico border is controlled by a gang.
If you try to cross - either way - without paying them, they will kill you, or steal everything you have, if they catch you.
and let that sink in real good

In October of 2020, during the Presidential Debate, Kendrick posted on Twitter the following: “Did @realDonaldTrump just say 545 kids they can’t find their parents for came over through “cartels and coyotes”?! How the hell does a coyote bring a whole human across the border?! Lord-——stop talking. #FinalDebate” Ms. Kendrick confused the term used to describe people that smuggle Latin Americans across the border illegally with the American wild animal known as a coyote. [5]
Thanks.
1) Not really their child. The "parent" is either a coyote or a human trafficker. If they attempt to retrieve, they will be caught and imprisoned.
2) Desperation. Can't support/protect the child in their home country, so they abandon him/her there. Sure, he's incarcerated but they hope for a better life eventually.
3) Same reason you have babies in US hospital if possible - anchor baby. They will reunite in the US or not at all. They'll let him rot in a cage for the chance it will get them into the US.
Only option 2) is even marginally moral - even with the best treatment it must be devastating to the child.
i never noticed how big her feet are in those urban cowboyish boots
Yeah, she definitely should have gone with a sensible pair of “boot cut” jeans instead of those skin-tight white highwaters.
