The previous blog talked about what happens/can happen to underage illegal aliens in the United States. In our country, it is against the law (assuming the authorities give a damn about the law – which, as the previous blog notes, is not always the case).
With the above in mind, I urge you to read this article – a lengthy one with many supporting visuals – written by James Reynolds and published by London’s Daily Mail – that details what happens LEGALLY to children around the world; most specifically to young girls.
Here is how it begins:
Ghada* was 15 when she fell pregnant with her third child.
For three years, she had been married to an older man – a man her father had paired her with out of perceived necessity.
‘My family is poor,’ she explained. Her father ‘accepted the first proposal for the marriage that came to him, not only for me but for my sisters, not caring that we were only children’.
Child marriage existed in Yemen before the civil war. But years of bitter fighting have exacerbated the issue. Famine looms over the population as the ‘fortunate’ survive on bread and water. For families like Ghada’s, children are an impossible expense.
And so, Ghada was married at 12. Within a year, she gave birth to a baby girl. Her husband, who wanted a son, abused her and forbade her from leaving the house. She was only allowed to see her family when she delivered her second child, a boy.
Ghada pleaded with her father to let her come home. But the family could not afford to feed more people. She went back to her husband and fell pregnant for a third time.
Seeing no way out, Ghada tried to poison herself with pesticide stolen from her husband. She was rescued by her sister-in-law, but still could not return home. It seemed her life had been decided for her.
Ghada’s story is not unique. Child marriage does not belong only to Yemen, but festers in countries ravaged by war and instability.
Around the world, hundreds of millions of girls have their own stories of abuse and neglect, bound to men often much older than themselves as a result of trafficking, cultural norms or, indeed, because there are no clear alternatives for a better life.
In the time it takes to read this sentence, another child, somewhere in the world, will have been married.
Let me remind you, again, that this happens LEGALLY around the world.
Now: what do you think happens here, under the radar, to the hundreds of thousands (at least) of children, girls and boys both, who have illegally been sent across our border? Do you think they are treated any better? Do you doubt that many of them are treated even worse?
That is what four years of the Biden/puppeteer adminstration handed us. This is hat President Trump ended with his closing of our border, but still has to deal with because, under Biden, the border did not exist for those four years.
I wonder when our wonderful “neutral” mainstream media, ever concerned about the safety and welfare of innocent children (just ask them), will publish a few articles like the one referenced above detailing the plight of illegal alien children who came in under Biden/his puppeteeers.
Oh, wait. The progenitors of this horror show are Democrats.
Never mind.
