Op-ed: A heart-wrenching 2-year-old migrant alone at the border is there because of terrible Democratic policies

By Mark Krikorian on November 25, 2024

Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas are not monsters.

But their immigration policies are monstrous.

The latest evidence of this is the toddler from El Salvador in a pink jacket found by Texas authorities Sunday on the border near Eagle Pass.

Who hands their toddler over to strangers to take her more than 1,500 miles to the US border, with only a phone number contact scrawled on a yellow Post-It note?

People lured into doing so by the Biden administration’s border and immigration policies, that’s who.

This isn’t to absolve the parents for their reprehensible conduct. They are apparently illegal aliens in the US who thought this was a good idea.

But the only reason it might seem like a good idea is that a huge number of other unaccompanied alien children (UACs) have been let in and released, without any legal consequences for the illegal-alien parents or other relatives paying to have them smuggled.
