Caravans

We often hear stories about dysfunctional families but when it comes to immigration we have a dysfunctional country. Families coming in with children are allowed to stay so children are sent back and forth across the border bringing in new families with each trip. It is a 1,400 mile trip from the Southern Mexico border to El Paso and these children make that journey mostly on foot. They come in caravans for safety reasons since there are dangers along the way. At the US border all girls age ten and over are given a pregnancy test. The long trip has a detrimental effect on health especially for young children. The latest caravan has migrants from South American and Africa. There are radio stations that broadcast the procedure to get into the United States.
