Halting construction of the border wall and providing incentives for illegal immigrants to flock to America was Biden theoretically opening his arms to anyone and everyone who could \u2014 and would \u2014 make it to the southern border.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Days before Biden was sworn into office, caravans from Central America <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/new-migrant-caravan-forms-in-honduras-looking-to-make-the-deadly-journey-to-the-united-states\">began making the trek<\/a> towards the U.S. They knew they had to get to the border before Biden\u2019s first 100 days were up, with a limited timeframe to capitalize on Biden\u2019s policy shift.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWhat I want for my people, I just want patience and pass to the U.S. because they have a new president,\u201d a Honduran national <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/townhall.com\/tipsheet\/bethbaumann\/2021\/01\/18\/illegal-alien-biden-is-giving-us-100-days-to-get-to-the-southern-border-n2583334\"><span>said in mid-January<\/span><\/a><span>. \u201cPresident Biden is going to help all of us. He\u2019s giving us 100 days to get to the U.S. and give us a paper so we can get a better life for our kids and our family.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s campaign promises \u2014 like providing health care and amnesty to illegal immigrants \u2014 are almost certainly what caused the spike in illegal crossings at the southern border. Combined with areas where the border wall is incomplete and limited Border Control resources, a full out crisis spawned in no time.<\/p>\n<p>We repeatedly hear about the border crisis, but no one wants to be honest about <em>why&nbsp;<\/em>this crisis exists. When America\u2019s immigration rhetoric is soft, the drug cartels pounce. They see America\u2019s vulnerabilities and play on that weakness. They know they can make thousands of dollars every single time a person crosses into the U.S. That is why they are going full speed, taking as many people as possible on their journeys to America. They have a limited window, and have to use it wisely.<\/p>\n<p>But the human smugglers \u2014 commonly referred to as \u201ccoyotes\u201d \u2014 are getting creative. They are using social media platforms, like Facebook, to appeal to those who are desperate to come to the United States. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/immigration\/human-smugglers-use-facebook-connect-migrants-spread-false-hope-reaching-n1262984\">NBC News<\/a>, coyotes are promising Central Americans a \u201c100 percent safe journey.\u201c<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"23\">\n<p class><em>\u201c\u2018Travel to Mexico to the United States. Costs $8,000. 100 percent safe,\u2019 reads a recent post written in Spanish. \u2018Cross through Matamoros. You walk one hour, after in automobile until you arrive to your relative.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n<p class><em>The Spanish-language posts identified by NBC News were found on public Facebook pages with names like \u2018Migrants from Various Countries in Mexico\u2019 and \u2018Migrants in the Mexico-U.S.A. Border Awaiting Hearing.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>An apparent smuggler posted a picture of a family with luggage, wearing masks and sitting together on what appears to be a plane. \u2018Make your dream a reality in the United States. We are here to help you,\u2019 the caption reads. \u2018The journey is safe and reliable and the price is $4,500 leaving from Monterrey to San Antonio, Texas.\u2019\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>One of the greatest concerns, according to Department of Homeland Security officials, is that migrants hire coyotes once they arrive in Mexico, using social media platforms like Facebook and WhatsApp to connect with the smuggler. The migrants, however, know nothing about the coyotes they are hiring, yet they have to put their full trust in this stranger. Not only are their hopes and dreams on the line, but so are their lives.<\/p>\n<p>The saddest part is that coyotes see each of these migrants as cash cows, not as human beings. They have no regard for human life, which becomes evident every time an unaccompanied minor is discovered abandoned in the middle of the desert, alone, to fend for themselves.<\/p>\n<p>For example, as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/watch-abandoned-young-migrant-boy-sobbs-after-crossing-border-begs-border-agent-for-help\">The Daily Wire<\/a> reported, a 10-year-old Honduran boy\u2019s mom and dad sent him to the United States \u2014 alone \u2014&nbsp;with a coyote and a group of other migrants. The group went to sleep but when the boy woke up, every single person was gone. He was left in the middle of the Texas desert by himself.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI came with a group, they dumped me and I don\u2019t know where they are,\u201d the young boy said through tears. \u201cThey can rob me. They can kidnap me. I am afraid.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A Border Patrol agent came across the boy and transported him to the unaccompanied minor holding facility in Donna, Texas.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"5.2826086956522\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Heartbreaking video shows a migrant boy abandoned at the border. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mattgutmanABC?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@mattgutmanabc<\/a> reports. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/zkObnhkkMT\">https:\/\/t.co\/zkObnhkkMT<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/kOiI6oRU8c\">pic.twitter.com\/kOiI6oRU8c<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Good Morning America (@GMA) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GMA\/status\/1379754606293610498?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 7, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Sadly, this is an<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/USBPChiefSDC\/status\/1379559825730908166?s=20\"> everyday occurrence<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The Biden administration\u2019s soft immigration rhetoric, along with promises for \u201cfree\u201d health care and a pathway to citizenship is playing right into the drug cartel and the coyotes\u2019 hands.<\/p>\n<p>The border crisis is no longer solely about protecting America\u2019s interests and our national security. It is now about protecting innocent human life, especially young children. And it is why this crisis needs to be addressed.
