A five-year-old girl from Guatemala independently crossed the dangerous river of the Rio Grande Valley and tried to pass through the American border. This is reported by the Fox News channel.

The next day, patrolmen found three more children at the border, the youngest of whom was also five years old. The oldest child in the group was 16 years old.

It is noted that this is not the first time that parents or smugglers leave children at the border. At the same time, according to the law, a child cannot be expelled from the country. They are placed under the care of the health and welfare services before they are combined with a caregiver, usually a guardian or parent already in the country.

Earlier it was reported that the US and Europe are preparing for a refugee crisis due to the situation around Ukraine.

Prior to this, former President of the United States Donald Trump, at a meeting with his supporters in Texas, said that the current administration must first protect the United States from migrants, and then think about Ukraine. According to him, the United States sends the military "to fight and die beyond the borders of distant foreign powers, while throwing open our own borders for illegal foreign invasion."
