A relative in Texas, to get the child back, must pay for a plane ticket for the child and for an escort.\u00a0 When the escort and child arrive in Houston, it\u2019s \u201ccash on the barrelhead\u201d at the baggage return, the escort taking the money in exchange for the child.\u00a0 It&#8217;s the last bribe, the last bit of squeeze faced by the migrants.<\/p>\n<p>This is far before the status hearing, when a court determines whether the legal asylum claim of the migrant is determined. \u00a0This is not a criminal fine, nor is it some form of legal punishment.\u00a0 It\u2019s just another \u201cfee.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Coming to the United States to claim asylum is not illegal.\u00a0 Civilized nations around the world have determined there are reasons to accept migrants, even those who \u201cappear\u201d at the border without the normal visas issued in their home country.\u00a0 Entering the United States and making that claim begins a legal process to ultimately determine its validity.<\/p>\n<p>If the entry into the United States is done legally, that is, at a legal border entry point, then there is no \u201cillegal\u201d activity.\u00a0 However, since the Department of Homeland Security has intentionally slowed the border entry process, stacking thousands of migrants in the dangerous border towns of Mexico, the pressure to enter the US illegally is intense.<\/p>\n<p>At a point where funds are at there lowest, migrants are forced to feed their families in the border towns, survive the violence and extortion, and ultimately face the cost of an illegal border crossing.\u00a0 There\u2019s no going back, and there\u2019s no staying put.\u00a0 Crossing the border outside of a designated point of entry is a misdemeanor offense in the US, but most of the immigrants are tapped out, and the \u00a0\u201czero tolerance policy\u201d of the US means they won\u2019t be released.\u00a0 Since Homeland Security has also \u201cslow walked\u201d the increase in immigration judges, it may be years until the asylum request is adjudicated.<\/p>\n<p>The US policy of child separation was one more way of \u201cpunishing\u201d migrants.\u00a0 We know there is money to be made in that business, with the new facility in Texas costing over $700\/child\/day to house children in tents.\u00a0And far be it from the government who caused that separation, or the contractor, to bear any additional costs.\u00a0So there\u2019s one last \u201cfee,\u201d one last bribe, to get their kid back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Last Bribe A family fleeing from the violence of El Salvador or Guatemala or Honduras is risking a difficult journey.\u00a0They face two thousand miles of walking dusty roads, riding in packed vans and freight cars, staying in dirty \u201csafe\u201d houses; each day being completely vulnerable to violence, rape and extortion.\u00a0 How much are they &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/dahlman.online\/index.php\/2018\/07\/02\/the-last-bribe\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;The Last Bribe&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-990","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
