While Bush may have done little to secure the border, this is all on Obama. It’s by design:
“If you can’t pay your coyote or your criminal organization, they will force you into slave labor or they will force you into prostitution,” [Representative Jim Bridenstine (R., Okla)] said. And of the children who did make it to American custody, “a significant percentage of the children in these facilities have been abused, in one way or another, coming to the United States,” according to Bridenstine.
Many others didn’t survive the trek. “There have been cases where the parents couldn’t pay, or somebody in the United States couldn’t pay, and large groups of these children have been, no kidding, massacred,” Bridenstine told NRO. ”And there are recent gravesites in Northern Mexico with a number of dead bodies.”
Is this what Obama wanted? I doubt it. I’d wager he wanted children crossing the border, but it was so they could be used as leverage in passing amnesty. But you know he knew this would be part of the deal.
He knew children would die because of his actions.
But they, like everything else, are secondary to the agenda.
