The Issue: An unaccompanied 2-year-old girl encountered at the southern border.
The heart-wrenching depiction of a 2-year-old girl who was found at a Texas border crossing epitomizes the sordid catastrophe created by the Biden administration (“Kids land in clutches of traffickers,” Nov. 26).
The fact that this toddler was discovered alone and vulnerable to hellish conditions, including being preyed upon by human traffickers, is unconscionable.
The number of unaccompanied minors crossing the southern border is staggering — and when you consider the treacherous journey that they have endured, it exacerbates the atrocious border policies implemented by President Biden.
We should all be mortified by such inhumane policies effectuated by the current administration that have resulted in endangering the welfare of innocent children.

To pick up The Post and read the story of the young girl crossing our southern border alone brought tears to my eyes.
Then, a few pages later, I see a smiling Joe Biden, proudly announcing his pardoning of two turkeys, thus saving their lives.
Yet he offers less emotion for the children crossing the southern border.

We should all pity the nameless 2-year-old girl, her parents supposedly somewhere in the United States, who crossed the Texas border carrying nothing but a scrap of paper with a phone number on it.
Rather than the indignity of labeling her Jane Doe, I suggest we refer to her more humanely as “Kamala Biden” until we find out her real identity.

This why you don’t have open borders.
Biden-Harris supporters can see without any doubt what they were supporting with this administration. Where is the outrage from members of Congress?
The exploitation of people in poverty who are being misled by cartels and coming into our country is the fault of the Biden administration.
This is a disgrace — but not too surprising if you consider the mindset of cartels that have realized child trafficking pays more than drugs and can be exploited in more ways once children enter our country.
President-elect Donald Trump needs to use every tool available to go after the cartels.
This can’t go on: It has to be stopped by us, since we know the traffickers will not stop.

It is heartbreaking news that young children are crossing the border alone.
It must have been a burden for the parents of these children to leave their kids behind.
Ultimately, illegal immigrants are causing trouble to Americans through the ongoing humanitarian crisis. Migrants’ hardship across the country become news headlines again and again.

This is not quite like when Moses was put afloat in the Nile in a basket of reeds to be discovered by an Egyptian woman.
The Post article reaffirms how President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris (who was dubbed the border czar) essentially ignored federal immigration laws from a safe and cozy distance in the White House.
Even Mayor Adams has cried “uncle” on New York City’s immigration crisis and pleaded for federal help in dealing with the overwhelming number of migrants in the city.
The article also raises the issue of child sex-trafficking.
The movie, “Sound of Freedom,” has already shined a light on the child sex-trafficking issue crossing our border with Mexico.
Tim Ballard has appeared before Congress to uncover this.
Why hasn’t the federal government taken this seriously?

It seems that Biden, Harris and Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas have learned nothing.
Biden will go down in the history books as the worst president ever.
