So where were the parents?
The child was one of TWO people dead.
Trying to escape the country they came from to look for a better life. You think this kid wandered the desert themselves?
What was wrong with the other countries they could have stopped at instead of proceeding to the US? Fleeing Honduras is understandable, but Mexico is not Honduras. People risk the trip all the way to the US because they want the benefits of living in the US, not because they are unsafe in Mexico.
Do you actually believe the US is the only safe place for refugees fleeing Honduras? Or do you just think people should be allowed to move wherever they want with no checks or balances?
At some point, surely you must agree that “looking for a better life” is not an excuse to go wherever you want and do whatever you please regardless of risks or consequences. Either that, or I hope you are volunteering your city/state to process all of these people. I hope you can at least appreciate how monumentally expensive and demanding it is to handle illegal immigration if no deterrents exist. That will come out of your taxes to deal with.

Yeah, but when they went to cross, surely they could’ve gone to an official border crossing, and done a little paperwork.

Yeah there’s all sorts of situation ls where someone might try ro get there kid here. It’s sad bit largely a failure of actions and policies we have had in the region. It doesn’t matter if their parents were with them, left behind or waiting for the kid at the destination. All that matters is that there’s a kid dead in a inhumane death trap that should never have been built. Biden should mobilize the national guard and have it removed since abbot isn’t gonna do it.
Fuck off we’re full.

Why didn’t they go with the kid?
That’s not a helpful statement, just a deflection to a legitimate question. Where are the parents and why are they not here also making the crossing
There are all sorts of reasons unaccompanied minors attempt this journey; information about this is widely available if you read. It’s clear the original question here was intended to try to find a reason to blame the victim and their family rather than the actual cause of their death

Can’t handle the reasoning, eh?
The reasoning is so clear and obvious that it doesn’t require any sources apparently. Just go ask these people yourself who are doing this to find out why 🙄
That’s the first thing that comes to mind?
Yeah? Kid went a thousand miles, he didn’t do it alone. And at the most critical point, the actual crossing, where were the parents?
I find it sad that you feel no empathy for the kids (or their parents), and that your first thought is to assign blame. I don’t see the point in saying something so callous, but perhaps your intention is to spread hate. You wouldn’t be a hateful person now, would you? I suppose only you know the real answer to that. Good luck to you, I know you’ll figure it out one day.
