A 9-year-old United States citizen was detained by Customs and Border Patrol officials for more than 30 hours this week after she tried to cross the U.S-Mexico border on her walk to school.

These actions are disgraceful. I am all for a wall, but we are getting to the point where anyone who is not white is questioned and it's a shame. She has a US Passport on her and they accused her of being her AUNT. WOW. The flame of the melting pot is being extinguished.

I seriously doubt that. Sounds like typical MSM hyperbole aiming to demonize all immigration law enforcement.

How about reading my post, thinking, and comprehending what I wrote. It's only two sentences long.

Meh ........ Democrats brought us to this point.

Unaccompanied children walking across the border should be stopped and questioned at length. If it delays them a couple of days, fine.
9 years old and 14 years old, crossing an international border at 10AM telling the officers that they were late for school. Yeah, right.

That is most unfortunate but stuff like this happens. How many people have been improperly grounded from flying due to their names showing up on no fly lists?



We do need walls/ barriers were required but we also need to revamp our outdated immigration laws.

"Meh....... Democrats fault"
Is always the Republicans response.
Talk about lies about "personal responsibility."

And The Dark Enlightenment, how about actually reading the article, addressing its points and purported facts, and NOT Trolling? Seriously... it would be a thousand times more helpful to me and others than your twitter prima donna responses.

Most unfortunate.

Wasn't Wallstreet built by the xenophobic Dutch colonizers to keep the British colonizers and the Native Americans out?

How about pay real American citizens what is fair for picking produce from the farms and to build houses etc? And check for citizen or immigration papers on all jobs?

If the rich wanted it so, they would be doing it themselves. And if they somehow couldn't do it themselves, the government is already in their pocket and will bail them out.

How about reading the thread? The Dark Enlightenment has already demonstrated in this very thread the lack of capacity to do what you are suggesting. Not everyone is capable of critical thinking and this is evidence of that.

This is really unfortunate to have happened. I wonder how many incidents like this happen that we don't hear about.

If I was guarding the border at 10AM and 2 unaccompanied children attempted to cross telling me they were walking to school, they would be detained.
