The USA should drop them back into Mexico, just across the border. Rinse and repeat as often as necessary. A message needs to be sent. Costa Rica has the right to secure its border as does Panama and Nicaragua. Why not the USA? We aren’t the human dumping ground for all of these peoples from around the world. When I visit Costa Rica or any country, I respect their immigration laws. I expect the same in return. This has to stop now and if the US Federal government won’t do it, the border states need to step up and do it, ignoring any threats from the US government, either from the President, Congress or Judiciary since they really don’t seem to care.

They were picked up in South
Texas, as they crossed the border there with parents. The influx of illegals has reportedly increased greatly over the last few weeks. And, no, the borders are not open, and there are not unguarded streets crossing it. Read this article and google the U. S. CBP, border crossing, etc., to find out more about it. As for our departure from CR, which was nearly two years ago, read my Blog, or search my forum.

John, how can children get into El Paso so easily? Do they just walk across an unguarded street? Why are they apprehended instead of simply just continue walking? Please explain in more detail. Also I would like to hear why you, like me, left Costa Rica .

I know that because I live in El Paso, Tx, and because I have been talking to one of the detention officers at the local detention center. Actually, just before this latest influx, we already had a large number of Ticos in detention.

And, guess what else? Many of these undocumented (adults as well as children) are coming from Costa Rica, the place where everyone is so happy! It should make one wonder why.
