The Humane Act

Open Email to Sen. John Cornyn (TX):

Dear Sen. Cornyn,
I have read your general email concerning unaccompanied children at our southern border.
I strongly suggest that you are on the wrong track.
You say the southern border is currently ground-zero for a growing humanitarian crisis.
It Is not a humanitarian crisis! It is an attack on our southern border! A few of the children may have been abused in the transit from their home countries through Mexico to the US but the likelihood is that it is no greater than normal child abuse even in the United States. It becomes a humanitarian crisis only because you and others who apparently wish to increase the possibility of Democratic votes in the future US electorate, want these children to stay. The obvious answer to the non-humanitarian crisis is to send these children back to their home countries by plane as quickly as possible. This will automatically decrease future influxes.
I also suggest you do not fiddle around with another new law, which you call the Humane Act. As you describe it, this is only another mechanism by which you want to convert attackers into human refugees. If you want to do anything on a law, make it a clear designation that any children showing up at any US border without proper documentation will be disallowed entry and immediately flown back to their home countries.
For those who may be reading this email and are abusers of compassion, I say those persons should make every effort to work with the presidents of Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador to improve conditions in the home countries to minimize child-abuse. Do not use the usual Democratic/socialistic trick of taking it to a different level, wherein US citizens become responsible for what happens in those countries and take on the responsibility for ostensibly solving the problem.
