Dear Editor, We hear of un-accompanied minors and people begging for immigration by crossing our Sothern border. This curious situation requires Federal attention. Where are their parents of those unaccompanied or the sponsors of the adults? The situation was evident in past years. Obama’s administration erected cages for the multitudes. Fingers were pointed at Trump’s cages. The real questions are many. Who sends their children hundreds or thousands of miles to an unknown result? How do they travel through strange land? Who provides their food and personal effects, food, water, even toilets? At the border teens have arrived with slogan shirts claiming Biden favors them. My eyes might be deceived but their sneakers appear fairly new. Why would parents donate because someone said; “give me a thousand dollars and I will get your children to a better life in a nation that is reported to be hateful and xenophobic?” There could be your relatives who proceeded you or your children, but are they citizens of the storied nation? Are they employed? Do your predecessors have the where-with-all to facilitate a safe and healthy life, or are they not so well off? How will immigrant persons avoid the deadly COV-19? Will the person/s you pay for crossing assistance guarantee safety or freedom from the reported and even more heinous sexual slavery. The land they are leading you to, for the start of a new life, might be a drug life fantasy. Are your children and you accompanied by notorious gangsters? Citizens of the United States are being told our government has closed the border. Who will sponsor and assure care of them from birth, college, and happiness to old age? The best that the United States of America can do is pass and enforce laws that control the situation and prevents the fake trip to the land of enchantment. Return us to the 19th and 20th centuries’ that required sponsorships and employment availability. Gerald Keer
