"Border Security helps smuggle illegal immigrant children into the U.S."

[WhiskeyGirl]

A federal judge in Texas late last week accused the Obama administration of aiding drug cartels, saying that instead of enforcing immigration laws, agents knowingly helped smuggle an illegal immigrant girl into the U.S. to live with her mother, also an illegal immigrant, in Virginia.

In a 10-page order, Judge Andrew S. Hanen said the case was the fourth such case he’s seen over the last month, and in each instance Customs and Border Protection agents have helped to locate and deliver the children to their illegal immigrant parents.

The judge said in each case, the taxpayers footed the bill for flights — including flights to multiple locations in different parts of the U.S. that it took to find one of the children’s parents.

“The DHS is rewarding criminal conduct instead of enforcing the current laws. More troubling, the DHS is encouraging parents to seriously jeopardize the safety of their children,” the judge said, adding that some of the children have been made to swim the Rio Grande River or traverse remote areas as part of the smuggling.

This is where the tax money goes?  Trillions in debt?

The mother, Patricia Elizabeth Salmeron Santos, had agreed to pay $8,500 to have human smugglers bring her child from El Salvador to Virginia.

The smuggler, Mirtha Veronica Nava-Martinez, was arrested and the child detained at a Texas border checkpoint when they were caught trying to use a birth certificate that belonged to Nava-Martinez’s daughter.

Nava-Martinez, a resident alien, also had a prior felony for food-stamp fraud in 2011.

“Despite this setback, the goal of the conspiracy was completed thanks to the actions of the United States Government,” Hanen wrote. “This Court is quite concerned with the apparent policy of the Department of Homeland Security (hereinafter ‘DHS’) of completing the criminal mission of individuals who are violating the border security of the United States.”

“Customs and Border Protection agents stopped the Defendant at the border inspection point. She was arrested, and the child was taken into custody. The DHS officials were notified that Salmeron Santos instigated this illegal conduct,” the judge continued. “Yet, instead of arresting Salmeron Santos for instigating the conspiracy to violate our border security laws, the DHS delivered the child to her — thus successfully completing the mission of the criminal conspiracy. It did not arrest her. It did not prosecute her. It did not even initiate deportation proceedings for her. The DHS policy is a dangerous course of action.”

Wealthy illegals with $$$$.  Where are the jobs for Americans?

Hanen noted that the “conspiracy” began when Y.P.S.’s mother, Patricia Elizabeth Salmeron Santos, “solicited human traffickers to smuggle” her daughter from their home country of El Salvador into the United States and onward to her residence in Virginia.

Salmeron Santos, Hanen wrote, had “applied for a tourist visa in 2000, but was turned down," adding, “Despite being denied legal entry into the United States, she entered the United States illegally and is living in Virginia." Salmeron Santos admitted that she hired the smugglers for $8,500 and paid them $6,000 in advance.

“In all cases when the Government apprehended some of the traffickers, the Government transported the children across the country to unite them with a parent (or parents) who was in the country illegally,” Hanen wrote. “In one situation," he added, "the Government flew a child to multiple locations in different parts of the United States." He explained that "the taxpayers of the United States suffer the expense of delivering these minors," which is not only "the cost of paying travel, room and board for the children, but it may also, according to the information supplied to this Court in yet another case, include the salary and travel expenses of a guardian to accompany them.”

Hanen argued that the reasoning the administration is likely employing here, that children should be reunited with their parents, is “absurd and illogical.” He argued, “The DHS could reunite the parent and child by apprehending the parent who has committed not one, but at least two different crimes. It would be more efficient for the Government to arrest the individuals who are not only in the country illegally, but while in the country illegally are also fostering illegal conspiracies."

"It would also be much cheaper to apprehend those coconspirators and reunite them at the children’s location," he added. "Yet, it neither prosecutes nor sports the wrongdoer.”

Scary stuff.  These are the people waiting for Amnesty?  Little or no regard for US laws or taxpayers?

If yesterdays legal immigrants, immigrants from 50-150 years ago,  did something like this, likely they were deported.  There were high standards.  No known criminals, healthy, not likely to be  burden...

Today the standards seem reversed, the bigger the criminal, the more they seem encouraged to come, stay, and enjoy the welfare lifestyle created by wealthy greedy politicians.

just my humble opinions.
