McALLEN, Texas — Rep. Burgess Owens (R-UT) finds the Democrat Party is failing to acknowledge the issue of unaccompanied alien children (UACs) crossing the U.S.-Mexico border, he told Breitbart News in an interview Wednesday during his two-day trip to Texas.
Owens, a newly elected congressman and member of the House Judiciary Committee, visited McAllen with a congressional delegation of several other Judiciary Committee members to tour border facilities and meet with officials within the Rio Grande Valley.
During both the interview and a roundtable with his colleagues and Texas officials just prior to the interview, Owens became tearful as he spoke about a seven-year-old he encountered at a federal facility in Donna that temporarily holds mainly UACs. While a UAC is defined as anyone under 18 years old who has crossed the border illegally without a parent or guardian and many of the UACs are teenagers, Owens was particularly moved after he observed a group of UACs who were girls ages three to seven.
Owens said the children were “sitting there, looking up, sitting on the floor.” He continued, “And I recognize, I think about my grandkids the same ages. They have no idea what the next steps are. They don’t know where their moms and dads are,” adding, as he became choked up, “I think about this young girl, seven years old, slightly autistic, and she could not communicate, but for the 15 or 20 minutes we were there talking with everyone else, she just had tears in her eyes the entire time.”

only important when there is a conservative at the helm
And these kids will grow up to be part of ms13 and other gangs and kill children that were born in America. And plenty of adults.
The traffickers just have to get the illegals across the border where Biden’s forces pick them up to be distributed across the country. Biden has made the federal government the last leg of the trafficking operation.
The Democrat Socialists have VERY selective outrages, and the application of that selection is at times both inconsistent and entirely illogical. They have an especial paranoia about the possibility that law enforcement officers and military personnel are “infected” with alt-right ideologies, and they mean to root it out everywhere they find it.
By any means necessary.
All command-and-control regimes end up being a strict hierarchy, similar to but much more harsh than military discipline, with “re-education camps” and utilizing summary “justice” without recourse to law, courts, appeal or mercy.
Remember the Democrat year of the child, when men with guns took a kid from his father’s arms?
And sent him back to Cuba.
Excellent point.......plus I'm pretty sure the depraved parents get a kickback for letting trafficers use their children as a shield.
Ironically, the border is actually closed due to coronavirus!
It is closed to all Mexicans and other foreigners, who would like to do some legal shopping in US, visit family or do sightseeing (not all Mexicans want to settle in the US).
It seems, that now, the only way to cross the border is to do it illegally.
Better hire coyote, if you want to shop in Chandler mall!
need to stop accepting the terms of the argument from the UniParty
debating them from a normie viewpoint is a waste of time
NewsMax on Friday had a video about a 7 year old boy who was abandoned when he couldn’t keep up. A parent who never abandon their kids...
