The Democrat party that once fancied itself the party of ‘the children’ when it came to the border crisis, has suddenly proven themselves cowards.
Where once they would rush to the border to take pictures of themselves coming to the rescue of children suffering at the hands of Donald Trump’s allegedly cruel immigration enforcement policies, they now can’t locate a backbone to speak up about the actual child victims of the Biden-Harris administration.
Such is the case with an absolutely heartbreaking video of a sobbing 10-year-old boy who was abandoned at the border, wandering alone on Thanksgiving Day, because smugglers had left him behind.
Had the boy not been rescued by Texas State Troopers, one can only imagine what have become of this child. Through discussions with the boy, it was learned that his mother was already in the United States. And here he was on barren lands, wandering aimlessly with just a cellphone.
This is heartbreaking. A 10-year-old boy was rescued by Texas State Troopers after he crossed the border on Thanksgiving Day. He was abandoned by smugglers in the middle of nowhere.

Democrats owe this boy an apology.
“They left me alone,” he tells authorities through a quivering voice.
Not only was he abandoned by the smugglers, but he’s been abandoned by the very party that, for years, pretended to champion the cause of children brought to the United States illegally. There has not been one Democrat politician who has commented on this video as of yet. Not one person who previously cried their little crocodile tears over fake stories of ‘kids in cages’ spoke up in support of this poor, young child.
Where are you, AOC, you coward?

It’s odd how there was also radio silence from the ‘but the children’ Democrats earlier this week, when a two-year-old girl from El Salvador was found alone at the US border in Maverick County, Texas.
This child was clutching a piece of paper with a name and phone number, telling police she was there to find her parents, who reportedly already live in the United States.
She was among a group of over 200 illegal immigrants, including 60 unaccompanied minors, detained after crossing the border.
Lt. Chris Olivarez of the Texas Department of Public Safety highlighted this as an example of the perilous journey these children undertake, often trafficked by criminal organizations across the border.

Where are you, Democrats? So profoundly moved for years when you called holding facilities for illegal immigrants ‘concentration camps.’ So emotionally distraught over child separation policies, yet strangely silent when children are being lost, or worse, sex-trafficked, because their illegal alien parents already separated themselves from their own kids.
Think about that for a moment. That 10-year-old boy’s mother, according to his statements to law enforcement, had already left him behind in the hopes that human smugglers could get him across the border separately. Meanwhile, the two-year-old was abandoned by both her parents, who felt coyotes were a better option to get her across after they were already safely inside the United States.
That’s scummy behavior, not just by these atrocious parents, but the Democrat lawmakers whose spines have turned to jelly when it’s their guy sitting in the Oval Office, barely conscious, while the southern border turns into a chaotic hellscape.
A hellscape in which these two children and countless others are victims. When Democrats eventually find their shrill voices once more over the next four years and complain about Trump’s immigration enforcement policies and how they affect children, they can all go pound sand. You don’t have the moral high ground. You never did. These crying children are the result of what you and your colleagues have wrought these past four years.
Fortunately, that’s about to end. Trump’s incoming border czar, Tom Homan, himself grew emotional when discussing the two-year-old found alone at the border.
“That is an example of what I’ve been saying for the last few years, that illegal immigration is not a victimless crime,” Homan told the New York Post.
He added,
“People always ask, ‘Why do you get so emotional when you’re on Fox News, why do you get so emotional when you’re testifying to Congress and start yelling?’ It’s because I’ve seen more tragedies in 34 years than I can stomach. I’ve held dying children and I’ve helped dead children.”
Nobody on the left helped. Nobody has even said a word.
This is a tragedy. These kids deserve so much better than to be left behind by their parents, paid smugglers, and the Democrats who told them this was the way to a better life and told their parents it was okay to break the law.
