Unaccompanied migrant children are navigating the bowels of the city’s subway system and trains to peddle candies to strangers. On Wednesday, an 11-year-old migrant girl exited an uptown B train at the 59th Street-Columbus Circle station all on her own, carrying a cardboard box filled with peanut M&M’s, Skittles, and Kinder Buenos for sale.
“My mother is on the other side,” the child told The Post in Spanish, before running off solo to tug at riders’ jackets and pant legs and offer treats for $2 a pop
Charles Dickens and Victorian London come to mind.

Unaccompanied so-called migrant children are citizens of countries that the USA has diplomatic relations with. In those cases the migrant children, who are illegal aliens under the U.S. immigration laws, should be turned over to the consular service of their home country for immediate removal back to their home countries.

Very dangerous to buy these wares. Who knows what's in them? Fentanyl comes to mind.

You know, a NYC subway is a dangerous place for any unaccompanied child, legal or illegal.

Be careful. I have noticed a lot of "alleged" Mormon activity lately. Anybody can dress in a white shirt and tie and carry a Bible. Don't let strangers into your home.

We were routinely approached by wide-eyed street waifs selling overpriced individual 2pc boxes of Chicklets gum when we honeymooned in Mexico 40yrs ago. As our vacation went on and we grew more tan from relaxing on the beach, the waifs then glommed on to newly arrived tourists who hadn't bronzed up yet. I see that things haven't changed except that the Mexican and SA invader waifs now run their candy scam on US soil thanks to Diaper Joe and the demonrats.

Odds are, these subway “waifs” are “Indios” from lower Mexico and Central American countries. The average Mexicans who work and have families are not into that kind of business. It’s the “Indios” who are at the bottom of the social ladder. I was amazed to learn that these people, with some exceptions, do not even speak Spanish. BTW, in the past few years, I haven’t seen kids selling candy in Mexico.

I saw the same thing in Mexico. Mothers and daughters selling sandwiches and cokes to tourists. Yes, they were annoying. At the same time, they were trying to earn their money. That beats the bums on the US side with their cardboard signs and their hands out.

Best to steer clear of these little waifs and their "candy". Very true that the contents are completely unknown, and could be fatal. Also, I'd think it best to assume there may be eyes on them lurking as they attempt their sales, and the purchaser could be followed and attacked.

You used to have to go to Mexico to have kids trying to sell you 'Chicle'. Now you can get this tourist attraction in any sanctuary city. No airfare needed.

What’s the reaction going to be when 1 of our native born crazy’s robs the child or pushes them on the tracks?
