The latest attempt by the administration to solve the problem with children crossing the border was to send out a spokesman to explain the danger to the children. He talked about the conditions at the various places where the children are kept when they arrive here. What he fails to understand is that the dangers here pale in comparison to the dangers they faced in their home country where drug cartels operate freely and drug gangs roam the streets. This is one more example of the unexpected consequences of good intentions. The laws were changed to allow people crossing the border from countries other than Mexico to be given special treatment. Lawmakers saw small children whose parents had paid coyotes to take their kids across 1,000 miles of Mexico to the border and then ferry them across the Rio Grande into Texas where they would find safe haven. The proof of the danger in these Central American countries is the fact that parents would do this to their children.
