What Egyptian readers are learning about the migration to America, that what the parents are knowingly doing to their children is evil.
[AlAhram] Nearly 9,500 migrant children arrived at the border in February, up 60% from a month earlier
The Honduran girl, 7 years old and surrounded by strangers in the pre-dawn darkness, was determined to keep pace with the other migrants colonists headed for the U.S. border.
At seven she most certainly cannot become an undocumented worker, doing the work Americans refuse to do, making her just an illegal alien.
Her father, she told an News Agency that Dare Not be Named journalist, had traveled with her by bus for 22 days across Mexico. Then, he went back to their homeland -- but not before he placed her in the hands of a young man who was to help her cross the river into Texas.
At least, starting in Honduras, she and Pops didn’t have to pass on foot through the Darien Gap, the roadless jungle between Columbia and Panama bereft of all modern comforts and infested by bandits. Many of those who go in are never seen again, and many of those lost are the parents of the unexpectedly unaccompanied children who emerge.
``He just said to go on my own and take care of myself,'' she said.

Thoughts:
1) if someone has the guts and determination to take those kind of risks to get here, they have more worth than 95% of our homegrown wokesters and have the potential to be better Americans. They are the kind of people you want for fellow citizens.
2) How do you separate the ones who take that chance to earn a better living and be productive in a new life from those who take the chance just to batten off those who produce something of value?
3) Answer to #2 - legal immigration with rigorous screening out of criminals and leeches.
**Thought experiment on circular reasoning ends here**
[Khaleej Times] Three people including a child have been killed and 13 others injured in a kaboom near the Pakistain-Afghanistan border.The blast occurred in the town of Chaman, which is one of two major crossing points between Afghanistan and Pakistain and used by thousands of people daily.
The Pak Taliban ...Arabic for students... grabbed credit for the blast in a statement shared with Rooters.
"It was a remote-control bomb planted in a cycle of violence," Deputy Commissioner of the district Tariq Javed Mengal told Rooters, adding that the earth-shattering kaboom was targeting a vehicle carrying a police brass hat.
Mengal said the earth-shattering kaboom occurred as the police vehicle was passing by. A shopkeeper, a passer-by and a child were killed, and two security personnel were among the 13 others injured.
The injured were immediately shifted to district hospital in Chaman, and nine were taken to a hospital in the bustling provincial capital of Quetta, a police officer told Rooters. The senior police officer who was apparently the target of the blast was not injured. Security forces launched a search operation in the area after the incident.
The bombing comes amid a sharp rise in violence by the Pak Taliban, a group that once used the border region to launch attacks inside Pakistain as well as host bad boys, including Al Qaeda.
The group was largely in disarray after a major Pak military ground operation, but last year several splinter groups announced a new alliance and since then attacks on security personnel as well as civilians have risen.

[BenarNews] Philippine government forces killed 14 suspected pro-Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... murderous Moslems in days of festivities in the restive southern province of Maguindanao, the military said Tuesday.
The fighting broke out on March 17 after more than 50 members of the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters

[ENGLISH.AAWSAT] To this day, ISIS controls five isolated pockets in Syria, the largest of which is located near the Ithria village in Hama province. The other four enclaves are situated south of Raqqa province, in Palmyra’s countryside, near borders with Iraq and south of the eastern city of Deir Ezzor.
Since the beginning of 2021, ISIS staged 66 military operations against areas controlled by the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in northern and eastern Syria, said a report published by North Press.
The campaigns included eight operations in Raqqa and its countryside, six operations in the Hasakah countryside, 41 operations in the eastern countryside of Deir Ezzor, and 11 operations in the western and northern countryside of Deir Ezzor.
50 people were killed and about 16 survived the attacks, with some suffering injuries that caused them physical disabilities.
East of Hasakah province, al-Hol camp’s administration accused ISIS off committing 29 murders since the beginning of 2021. Most of the victims were Iraqi refugees.
Also in Hasakah, the US-led International Coalition has launched a dramatic expansion of a large detention facility for ISIS fighters.
The effort will double in size the current facility, a series of three converted school buildings that holds roughly 5,000 prisoners from 50 different Arab and Western nationalities. Iraqis make up the majority of those detained.
Operated the SDF, the makeshift prison’s expansion will help in redistributing thousands of ISIS inmates in a way that meets Red Thingy standards, Fener al-Kait, co-head of foreign affairs at the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria, also known as Rojava, told Asharq al-Awsat.
The goal of the expansion is to enhance security and prevent a mass breakout at the SDF-run facility, added al-Kait, explaining that overcrowding presents a serious challenge for officers guarding the prison.
Al-Kait also revealed that the UK will oversee the expansion and provide logistical support.
"We are cooperating with the British government to establish detention facilities that meet international standards," he said, stressing that ISIS inmates pose a great danger.
"We need international support to secure these detention centers," added al-Kait, but argued that shoring up the facility in Hasakah is not enough to resolve the status of ISIS prisoners and their families.
In 2019, Rojava handed over 170 ISIS wives and 177 of their children to governments in their home countries. The Kurdish administration also extradited 246 ISIS wives and 246 children in 2020.
Deeming the figures low, al-Kait urged the international community to provide radical solutions.
He warned that terrorist attacks and murders are on the rise in camps holding the families of ISIS fighters in northeastern Syria.
"ISIS has started rebuilding its ranks inside and outside camps," said al-Kait.
Al-Kaait revealed that Rojava, alongside European governments, is studying the formation of a special international court to try ISIS prisoners and women involved in combat operations.
He said that EU countries with nationals detained in SDF-prisons are being approached to back the establishment of such a court.
