I’d guess that the Father is lying about some of what he says as well (I didn’t know anything, I just turned around and she was gone, with 1/4 of the kids). He is likely in on a shared fraudulent racket, and would have come along after she was set up on food stamps in a free apartment somewhere. He still had some kids to bring as his free pass.
A bunch of Leftist organizations, which are always meeting with and talking with the people in Leftist political parties, have long discussed the migration strategy to gain control of wealthy countries. Some strategy think tank types (notably in Soros groups) and political operatives (notably in the Obama Administration) must have fleshed out a strategy and gotten it approved, because a lot of coordinated activity went on to create and sustain this flow.
The people are promised a better life, a full suite of welfare benefits, and all kinds of better things (medical care, education for the kids, entertainment). They get that message from many different ways, like friends/family who have already gone, movies and TV, traffickers, Leftist Politicians (both ours and theirs), in their local news, and from organizations dedicated to just this purpose - immigrant advocacy groups or refugee relief organizations or such.
The father says he hasn’t communicated with his wife for a month. As a captain on a ship, I assume he doesn’t contact her that often until his return. She did this once before. I image if he wanted to give up his job and become an illegal, he would have done so and brought the other daughters along.
But what do I know. You could be right. I would be more inclined to believe HIM than I would the media, such as TIME, however.
The people who organized this influx are preying on the dull, dumb and ignorant. Your basic wage isn’t enough to persuade anyone to leave home, and the expense of the upkeep of these people threatens to send you country broke, but the enemies in your and of your administrations don’t care about that, their objective is to undermine and destroy your Constitution and they will stop at nothing to achieve that end.
It’s Marxism at the core. The useful idiots who fall for the promises are expendable. That toddler is also expendable, there’s no reason or excuse for that woman to endanger the life of that child by taking her across the Rio Grande at night on an inflatable boat. She apparently had a job, her husband has a good job, she just wanted a better one and has been brainwashed to believe the US is Santa Claus to the world.
If the US doesn’t build the wall, it looks like you can kiss your Republic goodbye. Your enemies appear to be in Congress, the media just follows suit.
