These Children Might Account for Some of What We Pass Off as Fraud

  Many of the children immigrating into America come with adults who are not their parents, an act seen as fraudulent and wrong. I believe I read the other day that DNA tests were done, and showed that 30 percent were not with their own parents.
   Tonight, I read a Deseret News story about a shelter in Columbia that rescues children. Its workers go right into the sewer-filled streets, giving the children bread and hot chocolate so the children will sit down and listen to them -- as they talk the children into leaving with them.
   It is wonderful the workers rescue the children from the streets and take them into their shelters. But, I cannot but help wonder how many children are similarly rescued, and matched with adults to come to the United States for a better life.
   I do not think it right that we are too quick to judge. Maybe some, maybe many of immigrants found with children other than their own are only using those children as tickets into America.
   I only know that if charity workers are taking the children and rescuing them by placing them in shelters, other charity workers are likely rescuing them and sending them to a better life in America.
   At least some of the children arriving here are probably but orphans being rescued from the streets. Of all the people we let into America, these should be at the front of the line.
