Comment: If Mexico is so so so bad-why do millions from the USA and elsewhere vacation there, travel across the borders there and build houses and live there, as my friends do and my in-laws did?  
But yes, a parent protects. Using coyotes (cartel members) to traffic ones (Unaccompanied Minors in particular) children here alone is not protecting them at all. We need to seal our borders and seriously limit any legal immigration.  It is no longer sustainable population- wise for our children. I care about our lawful American families in America. *And btw-that illegal alien subject is a huge part of what has happened to California, crime and horrible schools, as we both already know. Now it is coming to Colorado.
