Border Patrol helps smuggle illegal immigrant children into the U.S. - Washington Times

A federal judge in Texas late last week accused the Obama administration of aiding drug cartels, saying that instead of enforcing immigration laws, agents knowingly helped smuggle an illegal immigrant girl into the U.S. to live with her mother, also an illegal immigrant, in Virginia.

“The DHS, instead of enforcing our border security laws, actually assisted the criminal conspiracy in achieving its illegal goals,” the judge said. “It completed the mission of the conspiracy initiated by Salmeron Santos. In summary, instead of enforcing the laws of the United States, the government took direct steps to help the individuals who violated it. A private citizen would, and should, be prosecuted for this conduct.”

Judge Hanen said that Homeland Security officials regularly testify that the drug cartels control immigrant smuggling operations along the border, and he said the department’s actions in helping finish the smuggling actually end up benefitting the very cartels U.S. officials say they are trying to damage.

What's new? We have been doing this with Mexico, Vietnam, Korea, Afghanistan etc.
Remember when Bush cited that we could not deport all the illegals and he wasn't going to even try.

The judge, and the OP, are disingenuous. Despite the mother of this child being illegally present in the country, the appropriate thing to do upon discovering this child being smuggled is to deliver the child to the custody of her mother. It's ridiculous for the judge to equate that with "completing" the smuggling process, because the correct and proper custodian for the child is the mother.

Personally, I would consider it more appropriate for the government to deport mother and child together. Other than that, I don't see any issue with what has happened here.

You are missing the point. DHS is actively smuggling this girl into the US. That is different from deporting all the illegals who have jumped the border on their own.
