52,000 – yes 52,000 unaccompanied children have arrived at the US/Mexican border seeking asylum since October 2013 – almost double the number in a similar period last year. Approximately 39,000 adults with children have been apprehended around the same time. In comparison, in Australia, in early 2011, there were 468 unaccompanied children in detention seeking asylum. Many or most of these kids are probably in a community near you now – but even in such low numbers, Australia can’t seem to deal with a handful of minors appropriately and humanely. Recently, refugee advocates say the Government’s decision to send 10 unaccompanied children to a detention centre on Nauru has put the children at serious risk of mental health issues. And leaked notes raise more questions about whether children present during February’s unrest (which left one man dead) on Manus island – were unaccompanied minors. 14 of them.
But in the US, hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens have been crossing America’s southern border and are purposely surrendering to Border Patrol because they know they will be sheltered, fed, transported deeper into the U.S. and ultimately released with a court date far into the future. The courts are buried under a massive backlog due to the sharp increase in illegal immigration according to the AP and apparently 90% of illegals miss their court dates. This situation “is and will continue to be something of a magnitude unlike anything we have ever seen,” according to Justice Department official Lauren Alder Reid who spoke to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Many of those children flooding across the US border are smuggled up through Central America and Mexico, escaping poor economic and violent situations. Anti-immigration protests have sprung up, saying that the Obama administration is deliberately shielding journalists and politicians of what is really happening. In fact an Infowars journo was threatened with prison for reporting on the illegal alien shelter at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas. The children from countries south of Mexico are harder to send back, and some media claim that on arrival in camps, many are then bused to other parts of the US (sometimes without appropriate health checks). There are claims that border patrol officers are being forced to let potential gang members through without due diligence.
So what is happening? Some analysts are saying that the immigration policies benefit the eventual New World Order plan of a grand North America, and that globalists will the beneficiaries of the grand North American State. One thing for sure this is going to be a huge burden on the ‘welfare state’ that America is becoming with 49 million people on food stamps and a growing unemployment rate of really about 20%.
But my thoughts also go to trafficking. Having made a thriller about sex trafficking in Melbourne, it seems this profitable industry would be drawn to, and be benefitting greatly from such numbers – and there have been reports of organised buses getting children to the US border. In freedom4innocence they state that human trafficking in the United States has been on the rise for a long time. Of the 600,000 to 800,000 children, women and men estimated to be trafficked internationally each year, some estimate that about 14,500 to 17,500 get trafficked into the US (each year) – with over 100,000 children having ended up in the sex trade. A staggering figure. And trafficking opportunists are probably manipulating the border crisis now to put more children under all forms of servitude – from forced labour to prostitution. So is this really happening? We can’t assess without transparency.
So it is interesting to observe the different governments in action: The US government seems underwhelmed by what is occurring at their border, and Scott Morrison is overwhelmed – implementing a harsh and cruel policy off our shores. What both governments have in common though – is the desire for secrecy.
