Children who travel via Death Train must jump onto a moving freight car. Minors who cannot successfully pull themselves onto the traveling cars fall onto the tracks--many are left with extreme injuries.
Thousands of illegal immigrants are flooding the U.S.-Mexico border and the problem isn't likely to get better anytime soon. In a mad dash to make it to the U.S., many of the Latino minors are hopping aboard a network of Mexican freight trains called "El Tren de la Muerte," or Death Train.
The phenomenon may support claims that the Obama Administration's lax stance on immigration is encouraging thousands of children to put their lives at risk. "The U.S. is partly responsible for foreign nationals taking extreme measures that risk the lives of their children," Zack Taylor, Chairman of the National Association of Former Border Patrol Officers, told Breitbart Texas. "Our government is encouraging foreign nationals to come into our country illegally and stay."
Why doesn't the mainstream media care about these children by reporting this?
Do you really think the Obama Administration has no responsibility for this situation as they claim?

Really??? You are really going to pull the "Thanks Obama" on this one?
But hey, I agree...let's make it safe for these children...let's open the borders!!! Oh, I bet you aren't in favor of that...maybe you would rather build a wall with machine gun turrets on it...that sounds compassionate.
The Right Wing looks ridiculous when they try to pull the compassionate card with immigration...don't you remember the hissy fit the Right threw when water stations were set up on the border because people crossing were dying of dehydration???

So little ones are hopping trains to get here and then get benefits like housing? Little kids?!?!

They don’t want to inflame their voter base of illegal immigrants.

Of course they are responsible. It is because of their policies and never ending promises that we have this problem. Any legit, rational, uncorrupt Commander in Chief would have closed the border on 9/12/01.

How are you going to allow millions of people come to this country? You think that is being compassionate? You would be literally making your own people starve by the illegals stealing jobs away. Letting as many people come here by "opening the gates" is such a horrible idea I don't know why you would try to play a guilt card with the other poster by saying that. Unless you personally want to take care of all of the people trying to get in here, that is the dumbest thing I have heard in a long time.

If immigrants are better workers than "Americans"...maybe we should deport the inefficient workers instead of the hard working immigrants.
