"Accompanied" or NOT, Child immigrants are Refugees!

Dear friends,

When a lost and confused Christopher Columbus was "discovered" by the indigenous people of a Caribbean island, then invited ashore, along with his fellow thugs, and treated well, who would've thought that over five centuries later the descendants of America's indigenous people would presently be both murdered, tortured, and imprisoned for traveling around the land upon which their predecessors have been doing so for thousands of years?

Moreover, now fleeing violence, why are children regardless of whether or not they are "accompanied" being treated as if they are unwanted criminals as opposed to being dealt with in the same way as the refugees who came here from Ireland, Poland, and Italy and whose descendants for the last four or five generations lie about being blood relatives of the original Pilgrim group?
