FILE - In this Nov. 18, 2020, file photo, a young girl plays in her family's tent at a camp of asylum seekers stuck at America's doorstep, in Matamoros, Mexico. Increasing numbers of parents and children are crossing the border, driven by violence and poverty in Central America and growing desperation in migrant camps in Mexico. U.S. Customs and Border Protection said Monday, Dec.
Agents Chris Croy and Raul Hernandez were called to help by another agent who found her. Merín said the first agent told her to get up and keep walking, but she couldn’t. She says he accused her of lying. Hundreds of people die each year trying to cross the border. Photos last year of a father and daughter who drowned trying to cross the Rio Grande — not far from where Merín made her journey — were shared worldwide.“There’s so many women in great danger,” said Sister Norma Pimentel, executive director of Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley. “They must really think before they do what they do and risk the life of their unborn child.
Under President Donald Trump, the Border Patrol has been criticized for its treatment of immigrant parents and children. Since 2017, six children have died shortly after being detained. Agents separated thousands of families in 2017 and 2018 and have been accused of refusing entry to pregnant women or forcing them to return to Mexico under government policies restricting asylum.
She settled in the northern city of Monterrey with her now-partner. Her son went to the border city of Matamoros and crossed a bridge in January as an unaccompanied child.

So here we go with the media setting the coming agenda for Biden’s immigration policy. In the next few months we will see more and more of these sob stories. Then Biden will announce his tear down this wall plan on our southern boarders. This is coordinated between Dems/Media
Stay in Mexico
I have family members who purposefully came to the YOU.S to give birth, so they could obtain citizenship more easily. And I think it's all bull shit.
Why aren't you blaming the Honduran government for making people flee?
Pregnant women should not float on rivers.
When AllLivesMatter except black lives, brown lives, homeless lives, orphaned lives, drug addicted lives, illegal lives.....you get the picture.
By the end of the day the headline of this article will be “Trump kicks new born baby who’s mother was searching for a new life in the United States”
Desperation and danger is everywhere to one degree or another. Illegal immigration is a matter of law. Touching story.
Not a manger or three kings with presents but the story sounds familiar.
And liberals will continue to tell you how racist our country is...why would this woman risk all of that to be in the US?
Even with all our problems, people still want to come here.
gop government is inhuman.
US citizenship policy should be jus sanguinis ('right of blood') That's the law of pretty much all countries. No one should gain citizenship, because they snuck in or snuck in knocked-up!
People of the world. I'm asking for help, my son Artem needs urgent heart surgery. He has a heart defect. There's less and less time left. If you can help, go to my profile information there. I beg you on your knees, help save your son
Why in a tire when should could come here legally. I never understood these ppl paying smugglers thousands of dollars to be brought here when you could have used that money to come here the right way. Hope for her speedy recovery then ship her back when better

Here to read the comments from all the “pro-life Christians”.....
On the US side or Mexican side?
If this shows desperation, it's among your editors.
