WATCH: Glenn's passionate plea for parents in Central America to stop sending their kids across the border illegally

On Tuesday's Glenn Beck Program, Glenn broadcasted his monologue in both English and Spanish and explained - parent to parent, dad to dad - why it is not wise to send unaccompanied children to the U.S. In it, he explained why he was coming to the border with Mercury One to provide basic humanitarian relief, as well as why the parents need to stop sending their kids on the dangerous journey to the United States.

"So you know up front, while I am against illegal immigration, I believe in justice. I also believe in mercy and as a private citizen, I have decided to use my resources to go down to the border where your children perhaps are being held in churches. They are being held in squalor. We don't see some of the pictures because our government won't allow us. We're not allowed to see what's happening in our own country. I and my viewers and my listeners have raised over 2 million dollars to bring your children a teddy bear or a soccer ball or shoes. We are bringing over a million dollars worth of food as well. We do this because we are Christians. I believe deeply in God and I believe if i can't help your child, I'm going to be held responsible for it," Glenn said.

While Glenn wants to provide relief for the children, he wanted the parents to stop sending their kids to the United States.

"First, there's the physical dangers. They will be lucky to make it alive. The journey begins on the death train.To board it, children must jump on to it while it's moving. Many are unable to hold on. They fall, causing them to be trampled by the train, losing arms and legs... If they survive the fall, they are forced to go back home. Back to where they started -- only worse off than before," Glenn said.

"Those who make it closer to the border have to endure extreme terrain -- according to news reports, 'little' dead bodies are washing up on the shores of the Rio Grande," he continued. "Others are not abandoned by a cowardly smuggler just looking to make an easy buck. They are targeted. Taken. Boys and girls both... their human-ness stripped from them... their dignity, their worth, robbed -- as they are sold into sex slavery."

"I beg you. Keep your family together. Do not hand your child off to someone who only cares about making some cash," Glenn said. "No child would trade location in exchange for their parents. Family is a gift. We need mom and dad. It's just the way we're wired. Deep down we all know this to be true. No one has to teach it to us. Your country may be in turmoil. Your town may be dangerous. But nothing is more destructive than breaking apart the family."

Spanish Transcript (scroll down for English):

ESTA NOCHE QUIERO HACER UNA PROGRAMA MUY DIFERENTE. QUIERO HABLAR DIRECTAMENTE A LA GENTE DE MÉXICO, AMÉRICA CENTRAL, Y DEL SUR.

NO UNA CHARLA. NO DESOTRICAR.

SIN JUZGAR. SIN REGAÑAR.

UNA CONVERSACIÓN DE UN PADRE A OTO.

PADRE A PADRE.

HOMBRE A HOMBRE.

CORAZÓN A CORAZÓN.

USTED NO TIENE CUALQUIER IDEA QUIEN SOY. MI NOMBRE ES GLENN BECK Y SOY UN LOCUTOR DE RADIO Y TELEVISION EN LOS ESTADOS UNIDOS DE AMERICA. SOY UNA PERSONA QUE ESTÁ MUY EN CONTRA DE LA IMMIGRACIÓN ILEGAL.

NUESTRA FRONTERA ES UN LÍO AQUÍ EN LOS ESTADOS UNIDOS. NUESTRA FRONTERA ESTA LLENA DE DROGAS Y LA VIOLENCIA. LA MAYORÍA DE LOS ESTADOUNIDENSES NO QUIEREN IR CERCA DE NUESTRA FRONTERA. EN ARIZONA HEMOS PERDIDO ALREDEDOR DEL 80 O MAS MILLAS DE LA FRONTERA DONDE NUESTRO GOBIERNO HA PUBLICADO CARTELES QUE DICEN "SI USTED ES UN CIUDADANO AMERICANO, YA NO PODEMOS PROTEGERTE AQUÍ.”

PHOENIX SE HA CONVERTIDO EN LA CAPITAL DE SECUESTRO DEL MUNDO. ESTOY VIENDO UN PAÍS QUE NI SIQUIERA RECONOSCO. Y USTED ESTÁ VIENDO CADA VEZ MÁS COMO AMERICA SE CONVIERTE COMO SUS PAÍSES PORQUE NUESTROS GOBIERNOS ESTAN FUERA DE CONTROL. REALMENTE NO SOMOS TAN DIFERENTE. SOMOS PERSONAS TRATANDO DE SOBREVIVIR, TRATANDO DE SER UNA FAMILIA, SIMPLEMENTE TRATANDO DE CRIAR A NUESTROS HIJOS, TENER UN TRABAJO Y UNA VIDA DIGNA. Y NUESTROS GOBIERNOS A VECES VAN MAL. AMBOS QUEREMOS DOS COSAS: JUSTICIA Y MISERICORDIA.

ASÍ QUE USTED SABE, MIENTRAS QUE ESTOY CONTRA LA INMIGRACIÓN ILEGAL, CREO EN LA JUSTICIA. YO TAMBIEN CREO EN MISERICORDIA Y COMO CIUDADANO PRIVADO, HE DECIDIDO UTILIZAR MI RECURSOS PARA BAJAR HASTA LA FRONTERA DONDE SUS HIJOS QUIZÁS ESTÁN DETENIDOS EN LAS IGLESIAS. ESTÁN RECLUIDOS EN LA MISERIA. NO VEMOS ALGUNAS DE LAS FOTOS PORQUE NUESTRO GOBIERNO NO NOS PERMITE. NO SE NOS PERMITE VER LO QUE ESTÁ SUCEDIENDO EN NUESTRO PROPIO PAÍS. YO, MIS ESPECTADORES, Y MIS OYENTES HAN RECAUDADO MÁS DE 2 MILLONES DE DÓLARES PARA TRAERLE A SUS HIJOS UN OSO DE PELUCHE, O UNA PELOTA, O ZAPATOS DE FÚTBOL. ESTAMOS TRAYENDO MÁS DE UN MILLÓN DE DÓLARES EN COMIDA TAMBIÉN. LO HACEMOS PORQUE SOMOS CRISTIANOS. CREO PROFUNDAMENTE EN DIOS Y CREO SI NO PUEDO AYUDAR A SU HIJO, YO VOY A SER SOSTENIDO RESPONSABLE POR ESO. QUIERO HABLAR CON USTED ESTA NOCHE SOBRE LO QUE USTED NO PUEDE VER. YO NO PUEDO RELACIONARME CON SU VIDA. VEO LAS FAMILIAS DEL SUR DE NUESTRA FRONTERA QUE ESTAN DEVASTADA A LO QUE NOS VAMOS DE VACACIONES Y NOS VAMOS A LUGARES COMO MEXICO. NOS ROMPE EL CORAZÓN VER A LA POBREZA. LAS FAMILIAS QUE SE ESTÁN DESTROZANDO POR LA VIOLENCIA. NO PUEDO COMPRENDER LO QUE ALGUNOS HAN VIVIDO. LO QUE USTED PUEDE ESTAR VIVIENDO. NO PUEDO IMAGINAR NO TENER LOS DERECHOS QUE NOSOTROS NOS DAMOS POR SENTADO. NO ME PUEDO IMAGINAR LOS 14 AÑOS DE VIDA DE CARLOS SANCHEZ. HA TUVIDO OCHO DE SUS AMIGOS Y FAMILIARES ASESINADOS. TRES JUSTO DELANTE DE ÉL. FUE TESTIGO DE UN ASESINATO DOBLE DESPUÉS DE QUE ALGUIEN SE NEGÓ A ENTREGAR SU MOTOCICLETA A UN GRUPO DE DELINQUENTES. Y ENTONCES VIO A UN HOMBRE CAMINANDO A CASA DEL MERCADO, EJECUTADO DERECHO FRENTE A LA CALLE. ÉL DICE AHORA, “¡ES NADA PARA VER UNA PERSONA MUERTA!”

TENGO UN HIJO DE DIEZ AÑOS. YO NO PUEDO IMAGINAR MI HIJO DE DIEZ AÑOS DICIENDO ESO. INCLUSO LOS PROBLEMAS PEORES EN ESTE PAÍS NO SON ESOS. OTRA HISTORIA TAL VEZ DE SU PAÍS - CHRISTIAN OMAR REYES, NIÑO DE 11 AÑOS. ÉL QUIERE VENIR A LOS ESTADOS UNIDOS.

SU PADRE FUE ASESINADO EN MARZO.

SU MAMÁ UTILIZO EL DINERO DE SEGURO DE VIDA PARA CONTRATAR UN CONTRABANDISTA QUE LA LLEVARA A LA FLORIDA.

SÓLO TENÍA SUFICIENTE PARA PAGAR POR SÍ MISMA. LO DEJÓ DETRÁS Y SE COMPROMETIÓ A ENVIAR POR ÉL.

ÉL TODAVÍA NO SABIDO NADA DE ELLA.

NO SABEMOS QUÉ PASÓ CON ELLA.

HA PROMETIDO ESCAPARSE PARA AMERICA ESTE AÑO A BUSCAR A SU MADRE.

SUPONGO QUE PARA ALGUNOS ESTADOUNIDENSES SERÍA FÁCIL DE JUZGAR A LA MADRE PARA DIVIDIR A SU FAMILIA.

MI TIO LEO ERA DE ITALIA. CUANDO LA SEGUNDA GUERRA MUNDIAL PASÓ LA FAMILIA AGREGARON SU DINERO Y ENVIARON MI TÍO A AMÉRICA. ÉL ERA UN CIUDADANO ESTADOUNIDENSE. NACIÓ AQUÍ, PERO LA FAMILIA ERA DE ITALIA. ESTO HA SUCEDIDO EN TODO LA HISTORIA DEL MUNDO. NO LO CULPO A ÉL POR QUERER SALIR. YO NO LOS CULPO A USTEDED POR ENVIAR SUS HIJOS.

LA GENTE DESESPERADA HACE COSAS DESESPERADAS. MIENTRAS ESTOY AQUÍ SENTADO EN LA COMODIDAD RELATIVA DE LOS ESTADOS UNIDOS, NO VOY A PRESUMIR QUE YO HARÁ NADA DIFERENTE DE LO QUE HAN HECHO O TAL VEZ HAN PENSANDO EN HACER.

ESO ES LO QUE HACE ESTA SITUACIÓN TAN DIFÍCIL. ES POR ESTO QUE MUCHOS DE NOSOTROS EN AMERICA NOS SIENTIMOS TAN APASIONADAMENTE SOBRE SUS HIJOS.

ES POR ESTO QUE MUCHAS PERSONAS HAN TOMADO DIEZ O VEINTE DÓLARES Y LO HAN PUESTO JUNTOS PARA ALIMENTAR O PONER LOS ZAPATOS EN SUS HIJOS. ESTAMOS HACIENDO LO DURO Y NUESTRO PAÍS ESTÁ SIENDO DESTRUIDO PORQUE NUESTRO GOBIERNO NO ESTÁ HACIENDO SU TRABAJO EN LA DEFENSA DE LA JUSTICIA.

COMO HACEMOS LO DURO - VOY A PIDER QUE USTED POR FAVOR CONSIDERE HACER LO DURO TAMBIÉN. ¿RESISTIRAS LA TENTACIÓN DE HUIR O ROMPER A SU FAMILIA?

POR FAVOR, NO ENTREGE SU HIJO A UN CONTRABANDISTA EN EL MEDIO DE LA NOCHE.

A USTED PROBABLEMENTE LE HAN DICHO QUE ESTA ES LA TIERRA DE LECHE Y MIEL.

MIENTRAS QUE LOS POLÍTICOS PROPIO DICEN QUE NO SOMOS UNA NACIÓN EXCEPCIONAL. HEMOS SIDO GRANDEMENTE BENDECIDOS. Y HEMOS COMETIDO ERRORES HORRIBLES EN EL PASADO. HONESTAMENTE A VECES PIENSO QUE NO MEREZCO TODAS LAS BENDICIONES QUE TENEMOS. HEMOS PERDIDO EL CAMINO EN LOS ÚLTIMOS DIEZ O VEINTE AÑOS, PERO ESTAMOS TRATANDO.

USTED PUDO HABER SIDO DICHO QUE SU HIJO TENDRÁ UNA VIDA MEJOR.

PERO TE DIRÉ USTED LA LECHE Y MIEL NO HACE UNA FAMILIA.

SOY UN TIPO QUE HA PERDIDO TODO EN MI VIDA. YO NO TENÍA NADA. ME PODIA PAGAR MI RENTA Y RECUERDO QUE ME SENTÍA LÁSTIMA DE MÍ MISMO Y PENSABA QUE MIS HIJOS ESTARÍAN MEJOR SIN MÍ. GRACIAS A DIOS ME DI LA VUELTA A PARTIR DE ESA IDEA. LA FAMILIA ES LO MÁS IMPORTANTE. ESA ES LA VERDAD. NO DEJE QUE NADIE LE DIGA DIFERENTE A USTED.

AUNQUE USTED PUEDE ENFRENTAR LO INIMAGINABLE, SU HIJO ESTARÁ EN PEORES MANOS HACIENDO EL VIAJE TRAICIONERO A TRAVÉS DE MÉXICO A ESTADOS UNIDOS.

HAY ESTADOUNIDENSES QUE TIENEN MIEDO DE IR A NUESTRA PROPIA FRONTERA.

CARLOS SÁNCHEZ DE 14 AÑOS HA TENIDO OCHO DE SUS AMIGOS Y FAMILIARES ASESINADOS.

TRES DE ESOS JUSTO DELANTE DE ÉL.

FUE TESTIGO DE UN DOBLE HOMICIDIO DESPUÉS DE QUE ALGUIEN NEGÓ ENTREGRAR SU MOTOCICLETA A UN PAR DE MATONES.

Y LUEGO VIO A UN HOMBRE CAMINANDO A CASA DESDE EL MERCADO, EJECUTADO EN PLENA CALLE.

AHORA DICE QUE ES 'NADA' PARA VER A UNA PERSONA MUERTA.

UNA VEZ MÁS, TIENE 14 AÑOS.

INCLUSO LOS PEORES PROBLEMAS EN ESTE PAÍS SON PÁLIDO EN COMPARACIÓN.

CRISTIAN OMAR REYES DE 11 AÑOS QUIERE SALIR DEMASIADO.

SU PADRE FUE ASESINADO EN MARZO.

SU MADRE USÓ EL DINERO DEL SEGURO DE VIDA PARA CONTRATAR A UN CONTRABANDISTA PARA LLEVARLA A LA FLORIDA.

SÓLO TENÍA SUFICIENTE PARA PAGAR POR SU MISMA. EN REALIDAD ELLA DEJÓ A SU HIJO DETRÁS Y PROMETIÓ QUE ENVIARÍA POR EL PRONTO.

ÉL TODAVÍA NO HA OÍDO DE ELLA.

HA JURADO A ESCAPAR A ESTADOS UNIDOS ESTE AÑO.

Y NO LO CULPO... ES FÁCIL JUZGAR A LA MADRE PARA DIVIDIR A SU FAMILIA.

GENTE DESESPERADA HACEN COSAS DESESPERADAS. MIENTRAS ME SIENTO AQUÍ EN LAS COMODIDADES RELATIVAS DE LOS ESTADOS UNIDOS, NO SUPONDRÉ QUE HARÍA ALGO DIFERENTE.

ESO ES LO QUE HACE ESTE PROGRAMA DIFÍCIL. PORQUE LE ESTOY ROGANDO... PARA HACER LO MÁS DIFÍCIL, PARA RESISTIR LA TENTACIÓN DE HUIR.

NO ROMPAS TU FAMILIA.

NO ENTREGE SU HIJO A UN CONTRABANDISTA EN MEDIO DE LA NOCHE.

LE HAN DICHO QUE ESTA ES LA TIERRA DE LECHE Y MIEL.

SE LES HA DICHO QUE SU HIJO TENDRÁ UNA VIDA MEJOR... INCLUSO SI SIGNIFICA QUE ESTÁN SIN SU MAMÁ Y PAPÁ.

NADIE ESTÁ DICIENDO DURA LA VERDAD --QUE AUNQUE TE ENFRENTAS A LO INIMAGINABLE, SU HIJO SERÁ AÚN PEOR EN EL PELIGROSO VIAJE A TRAVÉS DE MÉXICO A ESTADOS UNIDOS.

EN PRIMER LUGAR, EXISTEN LOS PELIGROS FÍSICOS. SERÁN FORTUNADOS DE LLEGAR VIVO. EL VIAJE COMIENZA EN EL TREN DE LA MUERTE. PARA ABORDAR, NIÑOS DEBEN SUBIRSE A ÉL MIENTRAS SE ESTÁ MOVIENDO. MUCHOS SON INCAPACES DE MANTENERSE EN EL. CAEN, PROVOCANDO QUE SER PISOTEADO POR EL TREN, PERDIENDO LOS BRAZOS Y LAS PIERNAS... SI SOBREVIVEN A LA CAÍDA, SE VEN OBLIGADOS A IR A CASA. VOLVER A DONDE EMPEZARON--SÓLO PEOR QUE ANTES.

ELLOS MÁS CERCA DE LA FRONTERA TIENEN QUE SOPORTAR EXTREMA TERRENO--SEGÚN INFORMES DE PRENSA, 'PEQUEÑO' CADÁVERES ESTÁN LAVANDO EN LAS ORILLAS DEL RÍO GRANDE.

SÓLO DIOS SABE LO QUE SUCEDIÓ EN LOS MOMENTOS ANTES DE QUE ESOS NIÑOS PRECIOSOS FALLECIERON.

MIS HIJOS TENÍAN MIEDOS DE LA OSCURIDAD.

NO PUEDO IMAGINAR EL TERROR QUE ESOS PEQUEÑOS NIÑOS SINTIERON FLOTANDO EN LA NOCHE, SOLO, EN EL PODEROSO RÍO GRANDE.

ME PREGUNTO SI CREÍAN DE MAMÁ Y PAPÁ COMO SU VIDA COLGABA EN EL EQUILIBRIO.

¿POR QUÉ ME DEJARON?

¿ESTARÉ BIEN?

LOS PADRES NUNCA LO SABRÁN. Y NUNCA VERÁN A SU HIJO OTRA VEZ.

PORQUELE QUERÍAN DAR DE ELLOS UNA "MEJOR VIDA."

OTROS NO SON ABANDONADOS POR UN CONTRABANDISTA COBARDE SÓLO BUSCAN GANAR UN DINERO FÁCIL.

QUE SON DIRIGIDO.

TOMADO.

NIÑOS Y NIÑAS IGUAL. LA VIDA DESPOJADO DE ELLOS. SU DIGNIDAD, SU VALOR, ROBADO--COMO SE VENDEN EN LA ESCLAVITUD SEXUAL.

TIM BALLARD HA VISTO DE PRIMERA MANO CÓMO LA INDUSTRIA DEL SEXO ESCLAVO HA FLORECIDO EN LA ANARQUÍA DE AMÉRICA LATINA. COMO PARTE DE UNA OPERACIÓN QUE VIERON PERSONALMENTE 20 NIÑAS DE 11 A 12 AÑOS DE EDAD.

ASUSTADO. TEMBLANDO.

DEMASIADA AVERGONZADAS PARA MIRAR EN CUALQUIER LUGAR OTRO QUE DIRECTAMENTE AL SUELO.

SE HAN IDENTIFICADO Y ACTUALMENTE ESTÁN TRABAJANDO PARA LIBERAR A UNOS 200 NIÑOS, TODOS LOS CUALES FUERON PRESENTADOS EN UN CATÁLOGO. SÍ, TRAFICANTES EN REALIDAD PRODUCEN E IMPRESIÓN CATÁLOGOS PARA MOSTRAR A LOS CLIENTES DE PERSPECTIVA.

¿SABES CÓMO SE SIENTE CUANDO SU HIJO CAE--OBTIENE UN CORTE O UN MORETÓN. LLORAN. MÁS VECES LA LESIÓN NO ES NI SIQUIERA MALAS. ELLOS ESTÁN LLORANDO PORQUE FUE LA CAÍDA, EL GOLPE O LO QUE SEA... LES DIO UN SUSTO. ASÍ LOS CONSUELOS. Y DUELE PARA VERLOS EN EL DOLOR.

IMAGINA QUE SENSACIÓN TIEMPOS 1 MILLÓN. SU HIJO. ATRAPADOS. ASUSTADO. OFRECIDO COMO UN PREMIO PARA LA ESCORIA DE LA HUMANIDAD. PARA EL ABUSO Y TIRAR A LA BASURA.

Y NO PUEDES ESTAR AHÍ PARA CONFORTARLOS.

NO PUEDES CONTESTAR SUS GRITOS.

ESTÁN SOLOS.

ESTÁS SOLO.

¿SUENA COMO UNA MEJOR VIDA?

USTED PUEDE SENTIRSE ATRAPADO. USTED PUEDE VER NINGUNA SALIDA.

PERO SIEMPRE HAY ESPERANZA. TE LO RUEGO. MANTENGA A SU FAMILIA JUNTA. NO ENTREGE SU HIJO A ALGÚN PERDEDOR QUE SÓLO SE PREOCUPA POR HACER ALGO PARA DINERO.

DIOS LE DIO ESE NIÑO. PARA CUIDAR DE EL. NUTRIRLOS. AMARLOS. PARA VIVIR LA ALEGRÍA DE VER LOS CRECER.

USTED NO LE ESTÁ DANDO A ELLOS UNA MEJOR VIDA SI NO ERES PARTE DE ELLA.

NO IMPORTA DONDE ESTAN.

NINGÚN NIÑO CAMBIARÍA UBICACIÓN A CAMBIO DE SUS PADRES.

LA FAMILIA ES UN REGALO. NECESITAMOS LA MAMA Y EL PAPÁ. ES SIMPLEMENTE LA FORMA EN QUE SOMOS. EN EL FONDO TODOS SABEMOS QUE ESTO ES CIERTO. NADIE TIENE QUE MOSTRARNOS

SU PAÍS PUEDE ESTAR EN LA AGITACIÓN.

SU CIUDAD PUEDE SER PELIGROSA.

PERO NADA ES MÁS DESTRUCTIVO QUE ROMPER LA FAMILIA.

VOY A LA FRONTERA ESTE SÁBADO.

VOY A ALIMENTAR A SUS HIJOS E HIJAS QUE HAN SOBREVIVIDO AL PELIGROSO VIAJE.

YO, SI SOLO POR UN MOMENTO, LOS CUIDARÉ. SI TIENE SED YO LE DARÉ, ALGO DE BEBER.

SI TIENEN HAMBRE VOY A DAR ALGO DE COMER.

SI ESTAN ABAJO VOY A TRATAR DE ANIMARLOS.

Y YO LES ANIMARÁ CON LAS PALABRAS QUE CADA NIÑO QUIERE OÍR:

NO TE PREOCUPES. PRONTO ESTARÁ EN SU CAMINO A CASA ... Y USTED ESTARÁ CON MAMÁ Y PAPÁ.

English Translation:

Tonight I want to do a very different show. I want to speak directly to the people of Mexico, Central and South America. Not a lecture. Not a rant. No scolding. Just a conversation from one parent to another. Dad to dad. Man to man. Heart to heart.

You don't have any idea who I am. My name is Glenn Beck and I am a radio and TV talk show host in the United States of America. I am somebody who is very much against illegal immigration. Our border is a mess here in America. Our border is filled with drugs and violence. Most Americans don't want to go near our border. In parts of Arizona we have lost about 80 or miles of our border where our government has posted signs that say 'if you are an American citizen, we can no longer protect you here.

Phoenix has become the kidnapping capitol of the world. I am seeing a country I don't even recognize. And you are seeing America becoming more like some of your countries because our governments are out of control. We're really not that different. We're people just trying to survive, just trying to be a family, just trying to raise our kids, have a job and a decent life. And our governments sometimes go bad. Both of us want two things: justice and mercy.

So you know up front, while I am against illegal immigration, I believe in justice. I also believe in mercy and as a private citizen, I have decided to use my resources to go down to the border where your children perhaps are being held in churches. They are being held in squalor. We don't see some of the pictures because our government won't allow us. We're not allowed to see what's happening in our own country. I and my viewers and my listeners have raised over 2 million dollars to bring your children a teddy bear or a soccer ball or shoes. We are bringing over a million dollars worth of food as well. We do this because we are Christians. I believe deeply in God and I believe if I can't help your child, I'm going to be held responsible for it. I want to talk to you tonight about what you may not see. I cannot relate to your life. I see families south of our border that our devasted as we go on vacation and we go to places like Mexico. It breaks our heart to see the poverty. The families that are being torn apart by violence. I cannot comprehend living through what some have lived through. What you may be living through.

I can't imagine not having the rights that we take for granted. I can't imagine the life of 14 year old Carlos Sanchez. He had eight of his friends and families murdered. Three right in front of him. He witnessed a double murder after someone refused to hand over his motorcycle to a group of thugs. And then he saw a man walking home from the market, executed right in front of the street. He says now, it's nothing to see a dead person.

I have a ten year old son. I cannot imagine my ten year old son saying that. Even the worse problems in this country are not that. Another story from perhaps your country -- 11 year old christian Omar Reyes. He wants to get out and come to America.

His dad was murdered back in March.

His mom used the life insurance money to hire a smuggler to take her to Florida.

She only had enough to pay for herself. She left him behind and promised to send for him.

He still hasn't heard from her.

We don't know what happened to her.

He has vowed to escape to America this year to look for mom.

I guess for some Americans it would be easy to judge a mother for splitting her family.

My Uncle Leo was from Italy. When World War Two happened the family pooled their money together and sent my uncle to America. He was an American citizen. He was born here but the family was from Italy. This happens throughout world history. I don't blame him for wanting to leave. I don't blame you for sending your kids.

Desperate people do desperate things. As I sit here in the relative comforts of the United States, I will not presume that I would do anything differently than what you have done or are perhaps considering doing.

That's what makes this situation so difficult. This is why so many of us in America feel so passionately about your children.

This is why so many people have taken ten or twenty dollars and put it together to feed or put shoes on your children. We are doing the hard thing and our country is being torn apart because our government is not doing its job and upholding justice.

As we do the hard thing -- I'm going to ask you kindly will you please consider doing the hard thing as well. Would you resist the temptation to flee or to break up your family.

Please do not hand your child off to a smuggler in the middle of the night.

You probably have been told that this is the land of milk and honey.

While are own politicians say we are not a exceptional nation, we are. We have been greatly blessed. And we have made horrible mistakes in the past. Quite honestly sometimes i think we don't deserve all the blessings we have. We have lost our way in the last ten or twenty years, but we're trying.

You may have been told your child will have a better life.

But I will tell you milk and honey does not make a family.

I'm a guy who lost everything in my life. I had nothing. I couldn't afford my rent and I remember feeling sorry for myself and thinking my children would be better off without me. Thank God I turned around from that idea. Family is the most important thing. That is the truth. Don't let anybody else tell you differently.

Even though you may face the unimaginable, your child will be worse off making the treacherous journey through Mexico to the United States.

There are Americans who are afraid to go to our own border.

First, there's the physical dangers. They will be lucky to make it alive. The journey begins on the death train.To board it, children must jump on to it while it's moving. Many are unable to hold on. They fall, causing them to be trampled by the train, losing arms and legs... If they survive the fall, they are forced to go back home. Back to where they started -- only worse off than before.

Those who make it closer to the border have to endure extreme terrain -- according to news reports, 'little' dead bodies are washing up on the shores of the Rio Grande.

God only knows what happened in the moments before precious children -- like this little boy -- passed away.

My kids were afraid of the dark. I can't even begin to imagine the terror those young children felt as they floated off into the night, alone, on the mighty Rio Grande. You and I know as parents, their last thoughts were "will I be ok", "why did they leave me?"

Those parents will never know. And they will never see their child again. Because they wanted to give them a 'better life'...

Others are not abandoned by a cowardly smuggler just looking to make an easy buck.

They are targeted.

Taken.

Boys and girls both... their human-ness stripped from them... their dignity, their worth, robbed -- as they are sold into sex slavery.

Tim Ballard (Operation Underground Railroad) has seen first hand how the sex slave industry has flourished in the lawlessness of latin america. As part of an operation they personally saw 20 girls aged 11 to 12 years old.

Frightened. Trembling.

Too ashamed to look anywhere other than directly at the ground.

They have identified and are currently working to liberate some 200 kids -- all of whom were featured in a catalogue. Yes, traffickers actually produce and print catalogues to show to perspective clients. The reason I know this is because my charity has raised money to rescue some of these kids and return them to their family- but there are thousands we have personally seen that we cant get to. You know how it feels when your child falls -- gets a cut, or a bruise. They cry -- most times the injury isn't even that bad. They are crying because the fall, the bump, or whatever it was -- it scared them. So you comfort them. And it pains you to see them in pain.

Imagine that feeling times a million. Your child. Trapped. Scared. Offered up as a prize for the slime of humanity. To abuse and throw away.

And you cannot be there to comfort them.

You cannot answer their cries.

They are alone.

You are alone.

Does that sound like a better life?

You may feel trapped. You may see no way out.

But there is always hope. I beg you. Keep your family together. Do not hand your child off to someone who only cares about making some cash.

God gave you that child. To care for them. To nurture them. To love them. To experience the joy of seeing them grow.

You are not giving them a better life- if you are not part of it.

No matter where they are.

No child would trade location in exchange for their parents.

Family is a gift. We need mom and dad. It's just the way we're wired. Deep down we all know this to be true. No one has to teach it to us.

Your country may be in turmoil.

Your town may be dangerous.

But nothing is more destructive than breaking apart the family.

I am going to the border this Saturday.

I will meet your sons and daughters who have survived the dangerous journey.

I will, if just for a moment, care for them. If they are thirsty I will give them something to drink.

If they are hungry I will give them something to eat.

If they're down I will try to cheer them up.

And I will encourage them with the words every child wants to hear: Don't worry. Soon you'll be on your way back home... And you will be with mom and dad.

Grim warning: Bad-faith Israel critics duck REAL questions

Spencer Platt / Staff | Getty Images

Bad-faith attacks on Israel and AIPAC warp every debate. Real answers emerge only when people set aside scripts and ask what serves America’s long-term interests.

The search for truth has always required something very much in short supply these days: honesty. Not performative questions, not scripted outrage, not whatever happens to be trending on TikTok, but real curiosity.

Some issues, often focused on foreign aid, AIPAC, or Israel, have become hotbeds of debate and disagreement. Before we jump into those debates, however, we must return to a simpler, more important issue: honest questioning. Without it, nothing in these debates matters.

Ask questions because you want the truth, not because you want a target.

The phrase “just asking questions” has re-entered the zeitgeist, and that’s fine. We should always question power. But too many of those questions feel preloaded with someone else’s answer. If the goal is truth, then the questions should come from a sincere desire to understand, not from a hunt for a villain.

Honest desire for truth is the only foundation that can support a real conversation about these issues.

Truth-seeking is real work

Right now, plenty of people are not seeking the truth at all. They are repeating something they heard from a politician on cable news or from a stranger on TikTok who has never opened a history book. That is not a search for answers. That is simply outsourcing your own thought.

If you want the truth, you need to work for it. You cannot treat the world like a Marvel movie where the good guy appears in a cape and the villain hisses on command. Real life does not give you a neat script with the moral wrapped up in two hours.

But that is how people are approaching politics now. They want the oppressed and the oppressor, the heroic underdog and the cartoon villain. They embrace this fantastical framing because it is easier than wrestling with reality.

This framing took root in the 1960s when the left rebuilt its worldview around colonizers and the colonized. Overnight, Zionism was recast as imperialism. Suddenly, every conflict had to fit the same script. Today’s young activists are just recycling the same narrative with updated graphics. Everything becomes a morality play. No nuance, no context, just the comforting clarity of heroes and villains.

Bad-faith questions

This same mindset is fueling the sudden obsession with Israel, and the American Israel Public Affairs Committee in particular. You hear it from members of Congress and activists alike: AIPAC pulls the strings, AIPAC controls the government, AIPAC should register as a foreign agent under the Foreign Agents Registration Act. The questions are dramatic, but are they being asked in good faith?

FARA is clear. The standard is whether an individual or group acts under the direction or control of a foreign government. AIPAC simply does not qualify.

Here is a detail conveniently left out of these arguments: Dozens of domestic organizations — Armenian, Cuban, Irish, Turkish — lobby Congress on behalf of other countries. None of them registers under FARA because — like AIPAC — they are independent, domestic organizations.

If someone has a sincere problem with the structure of foreign lobbying, fair enough. Let us have that conversation. But singling out AIPAC alone is not a search for truth. It is bias dressed up as bravery.

If someone wants to question foreign aid to Israel, fine. Let’s have that debate. But let’s ask the right questions. The issue is not the size of the package but whether the aid advances our interests. What does the United States gain? Does the investment strengthen our position in the region? How does it compare to what we give other nations? And do we examine those countries with the same intensity?

The real target

These questions reflect good-faith scrutiny. But narrowing the entire argument to one country or one dollar amount misses the larger problem. If someone objects to the way America handles foreign aid, the target is not Israel. The target is the system itself — an entrenched bureaucracy, poor transparency, and decades-old commitments that have never been re-examined. Those problems run through programs around the world.

If you want answers, you need to broaden the lens. You have to be willing to put aside the movie script and confront reality. You have to hold yourself to a simple rule: Ask questions because you want the truth, not because you want a target.

That is the only way this country ever gets clarity on foreign aid, influence, alliances, and our place in the world. Questioning is not just allowed. It is essential. But only if it is honest.

A nation unravels when its shared culture is the first thing to go

Spencer Platt / Staff | Getty Images

Texas now hosts Quran-first academies, Sharia-compliant housing schemes, and rapidly multiplying mosques — all part of a movement building a self-contained society apart from the country around it.

It is time to talk honestly about what is happening inside America’s rapidly growing Muslim communities. In city after city, large pockets of newcomers are choosing to build insulated enclaves rather than enter the broader American culture.

That trend is accelerating, and the longer we ignore it, the harder it becomes to address.

As Texas goes, so goes America. And as America goes, so goes the free world.

America has always welcomed people of every faith and people from every corner of the world, but the deal has never changed: You come here and you join the American family. You are free to honor your traditions, keep your faith, but you must embrace the Constitution as the supreme law of the land. You melt into the shared culture that allows all of us to live side by side.

Across the country, this bargain is being rejected by Islamist communities that insist on building a parallel society with its own rules, its own boundaries, and its own vision for how life should be lived.

Texas illustrates the trend. The state now has roughly 330 mosques. At least 48 of them were built in just the last 24 months. The Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex alone has around 200 Islamic centers. Houston has another hundred or so. Many of these communities have no interest in blending into American life.

This is not the same as past waves of immigration. Irish, Italian, Korean, Mexican, and every other group arrived with pride in their heritage. Still, they also raised American flags and wanted their children to be part of the country’s future. They became doctors, small-business owners, teachers, and soldiers. They wanted to be Americans.

What we are watching now is not the melting pot. It is isolation by design.

Parallel societies do not end well

More than 300 fundamentalist Islamic schools now operate full-time across the country. Many use Quran-first curricula that require students to spend hours memorizing religious texts before they ever reach math or science. In Dallas, Brighter Horizons Academy enrolls more than 1,700 students and draws federal support while operating on a social model that keeps children culturally isolated.

Then there is the Epic City project in Collin and Hunt counties — 402 acres originally designated only for Muslim buyers, with Sharia-compliant financing and a mega-mosque at the center. After public outcry and state investigations, the developers renamed it “The Meadows,” but a new sign does not erase the original intent. It is not a neighborhood. It is a parallel society.

Americans should not hesitate to say that parallel societies are dangerous. Europe tried this experiment, and the results could not be clearer. In Germany, France, and the United Kingdom, entire neighborhoods now operate under their own cultural rules, some openly hostile to Western norms. When citizens speak up, they are branded bigots for asserting a basic right: the ability to live safely in their own communities.

A crisis of confidence

While this separation widens, another crisis is unfolding at home. A recent Gallup survey shows that about 40% of American women ages 18 to 39 would leave the country permanently if given the chance. Nearly half of a rising generation — daughters, sisters, soon-to-be mothers — no longer believe this nation is worth building a future in.

And who shapes the worldview of young boys? Their mothers. If a mother no longer believes America is home, why would her child grow up ready to defend it?

As Texas goes, so goes America. And as America goes, so goes the free world. If we lose confidence in our own national identity at the same time that we allow separatist enclaves to spread unchecked, the outcome is predictable. Europe is already showing us what comes next: cultural fracture, political radicalization, and the slow death of national unity.

Stand up and tell the truth

America welcomes Muslims. America defends their right to worship freely. A Muslim who loves the Constitution, respects the rule of law, and wants to raise a family in peace is more than welcome in America.

But an Islamist movement that rejects assimilation, builds enclaves governed by its own religious framework, and treats American law as optional is not simply another participant in our melting pot. It is a direct challenge to it. If we refuse to call this problem out out of fear of being called names, we will bear the consequences.

Europe is already feeling those consequences — rising conflict and a political class too paralyzed to admit the obvious. When people feel their culture, safety, and freedoms slipping away, they will follow anyone who promises to defend them. History has shown that over and over again.

Stand up. Speak plainly. Be unafraid. You can practice any faith in this country, but the supremacy of the Constitution and the Judeo-Christian moral framework that shaped it is non-negotiable. It is what guarantees your freedom in the first place.

If you come here and honor that foundation, welcome. If you come here to undermine it, you do not belong here.

Wake up to what is unfolding before the consequences arrive. Because when a nation refuses to say what is true, the truth eventually forces its way in — and by then, it is always too late.

Shocking: Chart-topping ‘singer’ has no soul at all

VCG / Contributor | Getty Images

A machine can imitate heartbreak well enough to top the charts, but it cannot carry grief, choose courage, or hear the whisper that calls human beings to something higher.

The No. 1 country song in America right now was not written in Nashville or Texas or even L.A. It came from code. “Walk My Walk,” the AI-generated single by the AI artist Breaking Rust, hit the top spot on Billboard’s Country Digital Song Sales chart, and if you listen to it without knowing that fact, you would swear a real singer lived the pain he is describing.

Except there is no “he.” There is no lived experience. There is no soul behind the voice dominating the country music charts.

If a machine can imitate the soul, then what is the soul?

I will admit it: I enjoy some AI music. Some of it is very good. And that leaves us with a question that is no longer science fiction. If a machine can fake being human this well, what does it mean to be human?

A new world of artificial experience

This is not just about one song. We are walking straight into a technological moment that will reshape everyday life.

Elon Musk said recently that we may not even have phones in five years. Instead, we will carry a small device that listens, anticipates, and creates — a personal AI agent that knows what we want to hear before we ask. It will make the music, the news, the podcasts, the stories. We already live in digital bubbles. Soon, those bubbles might become our own private worlds.

If an algorithm can write a hit country song about hardship and perseverance without a shred of actual experience, then the deeper question becomes unavoidable: If a machine can imitate the soul, then what is the soul?

What machines can never do

A machine can produce, and soon it may produce better than we can. It can calculate faster than any human mind. It can rearrange the notes and words of a thousand human songs into something that sounds real enough to fool millions.

But it cannot care. It cannot love. It cannot choose right and wrong. It cannot forgive because it cannot be hurt. It cannot stand between a child and danger. It cannot walk through sorrow.

A machine can imitate the sound of suffering. It cannot suffer.

The difference is the soul. The divine spark. The thing God breathed into man that no code will ever have. Only humans can take pain and let it grow into compassion. Only humans can take fear and turn it into courage. Only humans can rebuild their lives after losing everything. Only humans hear the whisper inside, the divine voice that says, “Live for something greater.”

We are building artificial minds. We are not building artificial life.

Questions that define us

And as these artificial minds grow sharper, as their tools become more convincing, the right response is not panic. It is to ask the oldest and most important questions.

Who am I? Why am I here? What is the meaning of freedom? What is worth defending? What is worth sacrificing for?

That answer is not found in a lab or a server rack. It is found in that mysterious place inside each of us where reason meets faith, where suffering becomes wisdom, where God reminds us we are more than flesh and more than thought. We are not accidents. We are not circuits. We are not replaceable.

The miracle machines can never copy

Being human is not about what we can produce. Machines will outproduce us. That is not the question. Being human is about what we can choose. We can choose to love even when it costs us something. We can choose to sacrifice when it is not easy. We can choose to tell the truth when the world rewards lies. We can choose to stand when everyone else bows. We can create because something inside us will not rest until we do.

An AI content generator can borrow our melodies, echo our stories, and dress itself up like a human soul, but it cannot carry grief across a lifetime. It cannot forgive an enemy. It cannot experience wonder. It cannot look at a broken world and say, “I am going to build again.”

The age of machines is rising. And if we do not know who we are, we will shrink. But if we use this moment to remember what makes us human, it will help us to become better, because the one thing no algorithm will ever recreate is the miracle that we exist at all — the miracle of the human soul.

Shocking shift: America’s youth lured by the “Socialism trap”

A generation that’s lost faith in capitalism is turning to the oldest lie on earth: equality through control.

Something is breaking in America’s young people. You can feel it in every headline, every grocery bill, every young voice quietly asking if the American dream still means anything at all.

For many, the promise of America — work hard, build something that lasts, and give the next generation a better start — feels like it no longer exists. Home ownership and stability have become luxuries for a fortunate few.

Capitalism is not a perfect system. It is flawed because people are flawed, but it remains the only system that rewards creativity and effort rather than punishing them.

In that vacuum of hope, a new promise has begun to rise — one that sounds compassionate, equal, and fair. The promise of socialism.

The appeal of a broken dream

When the American dream becomes a checklist of things few can afford — a home, a car, two children, even a little peace — disappointment quickly turns to resentment. The average first-time homebuyer is now 40 years old. Debt lasts longer than marriages. The cost of living rises faster than opportunity.

For a generation that has never seen the system truly work, capitalism feels like a rigged game built to protect those already at the top.

That is where socialism finds its audience. It presents itself as fairness for the forgotten and justice for the disillusioned. It speaks softly at first, offering equality, compassion, and control disguised as care.

We are seeing that illusion play out now in New York City, where Zohran Mamdani — an open socialist — has won a major political victory. The same ideology that once hid behind euphemisms now campaigns openly throughout America’s once-great cities. And for many who feel left behind, it sounds like salvation.

But what socialism calls fairness is submission dressed as virtue. What it calls order is obedience. Once the system begins to replace personal responsibility with collective dependence, the erosion of liberty is only a matter of time.

The bridge that never ends

Socialism is not a destination; it is a bridge. Karl Marx described it as the necessary transition to communism — the scaffolding that builds the total state. Under socialism, people are taught to obey. Under communism, they forget that any other options exist.

History tells the story clearly. Russia, China, Cambodia, Cuba — each promised equality and delivered misery. One hundred million lives were lost, not because socialism failed, but because it succeeded at what it was designed to do: make the state supreme and the individual expendable.

Today’s advocates insist their version will be different — democratic, modern, and kind. They often cite Sweden as an example, but Sweden’s prosperity was never born of socialism. It grew out of capitalism, self-reliance, and a shared moral culture. Now that system is cracking under the weight of bureaucracy and division.

The real issue is not economic but moral. Socialism begins with a lie about human nature — that people exist for the collective and that the collective knows better than the individual.

This lie is contrary to the truths on which America was founded — that rights come not from government’s authority, but from God’s. Once government replaces that authority, compassion becomes control, and freedom becomes permission.

What young America deserves

Young Americans have many reasons to be frustrated. They were told to study, work hard, and follow the rules — and many did, only to find the goalposts moved again and again. But tearing down the entire house does not make it fairer; it only leaves everyone standing in the rubble.

Capitalism is not a perfect system. It is flawed because people are flawed, but it remains the only system that rewards creativity and effort rather than punishing them. The answer is not revolution but renewal — moral, cultural, and spiritual.

It means restoring honesty to markets, integrity to government, and faith to the heart of our nation. A people who forsake God will always turn to government for salvation, and that road always ends in dependency and decay.

Freedom demands something of us. It requires faith, discipline, and courage. It expects citizens to govern themselves before others govern them. That is the truth this generation deserves to hear again — that liberty is not a gift from the state but a calling from God.

Socialism always begins with promises and ends with permission. It tells you what to drive, what to say, what to believe, all in the name of fairness. But real fairness is not everyone sharing the same chains — it is everyone having the same chance.

The American dream was never about guarantees. It was about the right to try, to fail, and try again. That freedom built the most prosperous nation in history, and it can do so again if we remember that liberty is not a handout but a duty.

Socialism does not offer salvation. It requires subservience.
