It was the summer of 2014, and Melvin, a 36-year-old mother of three, had just completed the journey from her native Guatemala, crossing the Rio Grande on a raft before being led to the house in the Texas border city of McAllen.
For weeks in that locked room, the men she had paid to get her safely to the United States drugged her with pills and cocaine, refusing to let her out even to bathe. I think that since they put me in that room, they killed me, she said. They raped us so many times they didnt see us as human beings anymore.
On Americas southern border, migrant women and girls are the victims of sexual assaults that most often go unreported, uninvestigated and unprosecuted. Even as women around the world are speaking out against sexual misconduct, migrant women on the border live in the shadows of the #MeToo movement.

President Trump has used the threat faced by migrant women to make his case for a border wall. One in three women are sexually assaulted on the dangerous trek up through Mexico, he said in January an estimate that appears to have originated from some limited surveys, one of them by Doctors Without Borders, of women traveling through Mexico.
But less understood is that the violence that befalls migrant women happens not just during the perilous journey through Mexico: Much of it happens after women reach the supposed safety of the United States.

They should stay in their home countries.
If only there were some legal, protected way to move fromone country to the next....
You would think unceasing rape of women trying to reach here would be considered a WORLD emergency by dem, and since dems are all about the world coming before us and rape being the most heinous crime there is, that they would WANT the wall built to deter women from setting themselves up like this.
But alas, no.
No shit, sherlock. "Open borders" support of this criminal flow, and the illegal immigration crisis doesn't produce evil outside the USA, it produces the same evil within the USA also.
How did this not get spiked?
As I recall, some fact checker called President Trump out on this "lie". Trump said a third -- that would be 33.33333% and the survey actually showed something like 32%. Therefore, not a third. Therefore, the president lied.
Now back to reality: Trump wants sex slavery to end. The Democrats (as always) support slavery.
Anyone who can read this article and not argue that the wall should be built to prevent these types of things from happening is immoral and amoral as well a disgusting piece of s***
Am I reading this correctly?
The Times is making a PERFECT CASE for Trump’s Emergency Declaration. Notice that these rapes happened on Obama’s watch. And yet - liberals are against Trump and his humanitarian efforts? They want rapes and murders to continue like they did under the Obama Regime?
Damn. Just Damn.
What’s amazing to me is how the leftist commenters on the NY Times article are able to both virtue signal their disgust for sexual assault due to immigration, and yet blame Trump for it at the same time.
I got the same impression. The Times has this article which pretty much restates what Trump has been saying about this subject of sexual assault/abuse. Yet the liberal view is that Trump is full of it on this issue. What the heck?
If just one woman or child is saved, wouldn’t the wall be worth it?
Won’t click the link. It is understood by those engaged, you damand payment in flesh, there are others who demand same.
We work for free, request no sex or sacrifice and ask only... retribution. Things happen, opinions vary regarding individual incident outcome.
This flesh is an unusual thing.
Should be treated like this as I boil it and turned into The Walking Dead
And live their lives numbly forever
No, there’s no emergency on the border, none at all.
If they didn’t embark on the journey north, nothing would happen to them. But the open borders crowd encourages them to come. If the wall was built, they’d stay put in their own country and be safe.
Trump asks CNN back in 2015: “Who’s doing the raping?”

Priceless.
Lemon: The story is about women being raped.
Trump: But who’s doing the raping, Don?”
If we use the tactics of the left our message should be...
To those that are for these people pouring in because “they’re just looking for a better life” then you ARE FOR:
- Allowing evil men to profiteer in treating people like animals
- The mass rape of females traveling
- The death of many people that aren’t cut out to make the journey
- USA citizens DYING because of uncontrolled criminals
- Putting border agents in harms way
- Bankrupting our social welfare systems
- Stifling the development of kids here legally due to having to also handle uneducated kids that don’t speak English
- Overcrowding our hospitals with people that can’t pay a dime
- Overcrowding our jails with people that shouldn’t even be here
- The EXPLOITATION of these people as workers, paying them less to do the work an legal resident would require
- The continued plight of low income communities because of a lack of work
- The continued plight of low income communities due to artificially low wages
- MS-13 and alike gang related crime
...
Yes liberals - this is what you’re ENCOURAGING therefore you must be FOR THEM....YOU HORRIBLE PEOPLE.
...and if any of you disagree then you’re a hateful BIGOT!!!
;p
NYT and someone named manny fernandez explains these words: “Much of it happens after women reach the supposed safety of the United States.”
Notice they don’t say WHO does the raping within the USA. Who might that be? White boys with MAGA hats?
Its only an emergency if a white guy does it.
