There's more. There's always more:

"Poverty, violence and exclusion lead to a forced exodus that obliges thousands of girls and boys to migrate illegally (usually to the United States), suffering a whole series of human rights violations on the way. During the first six months of this year, a total of 3,807 underage children have been returned to Honduras, but it is estimated that the number of girls and boys leaving the country every year in these conditions is more than 12,000."

US-perpetrated violence against the people of Central and South America is not new. It is at the very least more than a century old. US corporations and the capitalist system that spawns them are directly involved in the suppression of any effort toward justice, human rights, and the dignity to which people are entitled. The US CIA has provided the training, the expertise, the weaponry and the leadership in the ongoing denial of human rights to the people of Central and South America. These crimes will continue. What is available to stop them?

And, in the meantime, the screeching, armed, half-witted US protesters will continue to confront people fleeing for their lives with all the compassion expected of those who get their understanding of the immigration crisis from right-wing filth such as Limbaugh, Beck, Hannity and the rest of the neo-Fascists who provide the Teabaggers and the "patriots" with the idiocy necessary to see desperate and helpless children as a threat.
