As an unprecedented wave of undocumented children from Central America spills  over our Texas border, a veteran lawmen's organization has declared it an  "orchestrated" event. If so, who benefits?
To date, there hasn't been a word from the White House or its agencies urging  families in Honduras, Guatemala or El Salvador not to send their children alone  through Mexico's merciless badlands infested with cartel criminals to reach the  U.S. There's some Twitter activity and little else.
But the newspapers and television stations throughout Central America are  falsely reporting that amnesty will be theirs if they can just make it through  the Mexican obstacle course — and that the time to do it is now.
It doesn't matter that these children are likely to succumb to desert heat,  be snatched by vicious human traffickers, forced into prostitution, slavery or  the drug trade, or simply murdered as has already happened to thousands, as the  white crosses at the border can attest.
Not since the radio broadcasts that triggered Rwanda's Tutsi massacres in  1994 has such false information been spread unchecked by authorities who might  be able with just their words to make a difference.
U.S. embassy websites still have no warnings to Central Americans about not  sending children north, and until recently the U.S. embassy in Guatemala's  website prominently featured links to President Obama's campaign website with  his speech declaring to Guatemalans that "our immigration system is broken."
So no wonder the National Association of Former Border Patrol Officers, after  50,000 apprehensions of border crossers in south Texas, declared this week that  "certainly we are not gullible enough to believe that thousands of unaccompanied  minor Central American children came to America without the encouragement, aid  and assistance of the United States government."
