For whatever reason the federal government doesn't want to secure the border.  Republican or Democrat.

Its why we tolerated slavery for so long in both parties. Cheap labor is far more important to business than anything else. Except avoiding taxes.

Since February 42 minor children have been murdered in the city of San Pedro Sula in Honduras. At least five of those 42 dead kids, maybe as many as ten, previously had fled the violence in their neighborhoods and made the journey across Mexico to the US and asked for asylum only to be deported back to San Pedro Sula and killed.

According to this article, sounds like they are still safer in Honduras:

Pardon the MSNBC sourcing.

Over 7,000 children are hospitalized or killed due to gun violence every year, according to a new study published in the medical journal Pediatrics. An additional 3,000 children die from gun injuries before making it to the hospital, bringing the total number of injured or killed adolescents to 10,000 each year.

The new study, led by researchers at the Yale School of Medicine, highlights the toll gun violence has on child mortality rates in the country. Doctors surveyed the most recently released data from 2009 that tracked pediatric hospital stays.

"This study reinforces what we know from the mortality data," Daniel Webster, the director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Policy and Research, told NBC News. "We have an extraordinary health burden in our youth associated with firearms injuries."

In the 2009 Kids' Inpatient Database (KID), 7,391 children under the age of 20 had been hospitalized for injuries from firearms and the majority of those gunshot injuries —4,559—resulted from intentional firearm assaults. 2,149 of those injured were accidents, and 270 were suicide attempts. Of the children who were hospitalized, 453 – 6% – died from their injuries.

No, not even close.

Murder rate in the US – 4.7 murders per 100,000

Murder rate in Flint, MI (highest in the US) 62 per 100,000

Murder rate in San Pedro Sula 169 per 100,000 residents

If you can manage to keep the kids out of Flint, Mi, they are 36 times more likely to be murdered in San Pedro Sula than in the US, even in Flint they are three times more likely to be killed back in Honduras.

Uh Oh. They've figured out the exchange rate difference between the Peso and the Dollar. We're all screwed now.
