DALLAS (CBS 11 NEWS) — As the numbers of unaccompanied minors showing up to the Texas-Mexico border continues to rise, 14-year old Silvia Marroquin of El Salvador and her family are opening up about the teens journey here.

Marroquin was 13-years old when she left her hometown of Usulutan, El Salvador last year. It’s a small town ripped apart by street gang violence. Her father who had already been living in Dallas illegally paid a human smuggler $4,500 to bring his daughter here.

Guided by the smuggler the teen tells CBS 11 she and another group of children were brought by land through 3 countries ultimately making it to the U.S.- Mexico border in South Texas. She tells us the man her family had paid and trusted to bring her here safely had abused her, and mistreated her along the nearly 5,300 mile journey.

Tugging at the dumb gringos’ heartstrings. The dumb gringos fall for this BS every time. The gringos are actually a lot dumber than the way they are portrayed in the ads on TV.

The world is brimming over with sad stories, most of which we never hear about. The MSM loves sad stories so long as they advance their agenda. Obamacare tragedies get buried.

Behold pure evil.

Valerie Jarrett, George Soros and their frontman have devised a way to use the true Christian faith remaining in America to help bring about the country’s destruction.

If her father was any kind of a man he would have gone home to protect his family. Weak, sniveling cowardly creep.

Troubled nations are most often the product of dysfunctional cultures.

Only fools would allow such cultures to be implanted in their successful nations.

oh boo freakin’ hoo.... let’s all pretend that while the US can’t do nation building (i.e. Afghanistan, Iraw, Viet Nam, etc) that it is somehow responsible to let every single person in who ends up on the border (what border???). This is the leftists wet dream come true.....Hunker down folks it is getting worse and the slop is nearly infinite in a negative direction

Sorry, this is Obama’s fault, not the girl’s. What are the Canadian politicians doing differently to keep these people from transiting a fourth country to make it there?

If there were conservative voters coming up through the Mexican border there would be guard towers, attack dogs and drones set to kill. It wouldn’t matter how many cute babies or sad stories they had to tell.

Google governor Jerry Brown’s position on Vietnamese immigration to California in the 1970s.

“Her father, Elmer Marroquin, has been living in the U.S. for nine years. He works as a painter in Dallas, and says he knew the risk he was putting his daughter in when he sent for her. He says desperation brought him to make that decision.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Is Elmer here legally? If not, reunite and toss both of them.
