I read that and started to comment that I had read about others getting several thousand bucks for a kid, then say that statement by McAleenan.

We need to make sure, somehow - some way- that people like Guiza-Reyes NEVER gets to even get a sniff of the air on this side of the border. I have a solution, but I'm sure most people would think it's barbaric.

I read another unrelated story about S. America earlier this morning, that the Miss Venezuela pageant was no longer going to release the measurements of the contestants.   What with the shortage of food down there, I figured that each one being 30-20-30 was the reason. Not funny, I know...but too sad. Most S. American countries are rich in resources, beautiful beaches ripe for tourism, but they have such poor govt., either leftist or corrupt but usually both.

Thanks Mike. I debated whether to post this article or not but felt the parroted narrative should have a rebuttal.

I hope the citizens of the South American countries are able to take back their government and have it work for the people instead of siphoning off wealth and aid.

Send the 51 year old back and put the baby in an orphanage. Obviously the baby could benefit from a better life in the USA. Obviously the parent(s) of the baby did not give diddly squat about its life.

After commenting I skim read the article and it looks like they done what was right for the baby.

The countries in South America have not progressed very far since the Spanish first set foot on South American soil.
Quite obvious the caste system in South America still prevails.

Thanks JAP. Maybe a bit of prison life can adjust his thinking. Agree they did what's right but I would almost bet when the kid reaches a teenager those parents will try to claim the child back. With everyone having a cell phone most of which reach the internet hopefully that system of keeping the poor uneducated and 'in their place' will become a thing of the past.
