A woman turned her juvenile daughter over to a sexual predator to sneak them both into the U.S. in exchange for getting the mother a job, Homeland Security officials said Tuesday, detailing one of the horrific abuses that migrants are able to make of the immigration system.
The man, Ramon Pedro, showed up at a land border crossing in Texas in April, said he was traveling with his daughter, and demanded entry into the U.S., the government says. They were processed and released under the expectation they would return for their immigration proceedings.
But late last month, the man and girl were admitted to a hospital in Fresno, California, for tuberculosis screening — and the doctors discovered the girl had been sexually assaulted.
The hospital then figured out the girl wasn’t related to Mr. Pedro at all.
“In fact, the victim’s mother told her daughter to accompany Pedro to the United States and he would secure her employment,” a Homeland Security official said.
The number of families surged in recent years as smugglers figured out that adults could get more lenient treatment if they came with children in tow. While single adults are usually quickly deported, families were processed and released in the hope they would return to be deported later.
Indeed the number of such cases soared by 900 percent this year, according to a Washington Times report in May.
THANKS LEFTWING!
Oh no! Could it possibly be that a potential democrat voter is more important than a child’s safety and welfare?
I read somewhere that 12 years is the culturally accepted age of consent south of the border. So I’m not sure sexual assault is the issue, so much as the child was assaulted by a stranger without Mom’s permission.
Look, if you’re pimping your child out to strangers to get a foothold in our country, YOU should be the one arrested for child trafficking. It’s so sad this child is abused, not only by the coyote, but repeatedly by mom.
Mexico should send all their deviates to France where it is legal to abuse children. The UN could set up a sponsorship!
Old prissy Joe’s publicly acknowledged slime ball whore Mika is crying in her beer that this pervert, and others like him, are being separated from their pseudo children by those evil border guys!
