The Biden administration had brought Magdalena from Guatemala to the United States to reunite with her daughter, a reversal of the Trump administration’s policy of family separation that had torn them apart.
No, the mother’s choice to commit a crime is what “tore them apart”
U.S. Border Patrol agents had taken her 9-year-old daughter from her in December 2017 at an immigration detention facility in Arizona. They were among the first migrant families to be separated by the Trump administration — and now had endured one of the longest separations.
Between 2017 and 2018, the United States took about 5,000 migrant children from their parents. In most cases, the children were sent to live with relatives in the United States and the parents were deported.
This is beyond broken, these children should never have been allowed to stay in the first place.
But in cases such as Mildred’s, when no family members were available to host the children, they were sent to foster homes. Custody was transferred to state welfare agencies and private foster services. Some parents were warned by immigration officials that their children could be adopted by American families.
So we’re spending millions of dollars to raise illegal aliens instead of sending them back with their parents.
“The separation these families experience is even further prolonged, the harm further perpetuated,” said Kelly Albinak Kribs, an attorney with the Young Center for Immigrant Children’s Rights.
So don’t commit crime?
But there was a more immediate reason they needed to migrate. Magdalena had given testimony that helped convict a man of sexual assault. He was due to be released from prison and Magdalena was sure he would come after her. She borrowed around $10,000 to pay a smuggler to arrange the family’s trip to the United States.
Righhtttt and she had to go to America specifically because? It’s pathetic the hamster wheel that spins in these journos brain to try and sell the bullshitiest lines.
Magdalena believed her asylum case was strong. Entering Arizona, she followed the law: She found a group of Border Patrol agents and turned herself in. The small family was taken to a building with a single cell where dozens of migrants waited.
“She followed the law” after just breaking multiple laws to get into the country…
Too much is done in the name of not hurting people’s feelings. Nothing will get better if our society doesn’t stop putting people’s feelings— especially those of criminals and other unsavories—above what actually matters.
