Im not sure as to the exact origins of all of them but our southern neighbors seem to be dumping them here. It is yet another entitlement gone awry. The parents of these children should never be allowed into this country as what they are currently doing is child abuse on a international level. If there is no way to send them back then we should atleast bill the country of origin for them being here. It is insanity beyond imagination.

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."

In Europe they havn't stopped them because they are not sending them back. In the US you have to catch them and you have the population of a small country who are illegal and sympathetic.

I'd say it's your position on immigration that favor that . I am in favor of restricting immigration to numbers that don't encourage cheap labor .. You not so much. How can you say you're a proponent of African American labor when you openly encourage unrestricted cheap labor entering the country ? Yeah the Chamber of Commerce favors it as do big business. But we've already established that Big Business contributes mightily to the Democrat coffers .
The perception is that the Dems have the monopoly on empathy and caring for minority rights . But that is a cruel illusion. If you examine their polices instead of listening to their speeches ,that becomes quite clear .3 members of the US Civil Rights Commission said that a Senate bill to give amnesty would disproportionately hurt African Americans.
"Illegal immigration to the United States in recent decades has tended to depress both wages and employment rates for low-skilled American citizens, a disproportionate number of whom are black men," ..."Expert economic opinions concerning the negative effects range from modest to significant. Those panelists that found modest effects overall nonetheless found significant effects in industry sectors such as meatpacking and construction."

And just for facts the drug war and stop and frisk hurts minorities a lot more than fair immigration policy. The financial melt down hurt minorities more than a fair immigration policy. The rising cost of every darn thing hurts all the middle class people that have had no raise in a decade. Subsidizing the labor costs and taxes of multibillion dollar companies is what hurts the working poor. You want people to worker harder and make the boss more money, then talk about how lazy and worthless they are.

Tal, your "fair immigration policies" are just as ineffective as Tom's "restricting immigration" because neither viewpoint addresses the cause of the problem. The INS has made it impossible for legal immigration applications to be processed in any sort of reasonable amount of time. The 10 year figure officially used is reasonable, except that filing the application now takes three years, getting it accepted now takes another two (unlawfully, it's supposed to be accepted if no action is taken within 90 days), and the whole process starts from zero if a comma is misplaced or an accent mark faces the wrong way. Tal can argue that Govcorp has designed the process to not work that way and Tom can argue that the bloated bureaucracy has made the legitimate process untenable.

Look around, everybody is running from something, or other around the world seeking a safe haven from wars, gangs, and weak ineffective governance.
Processing people is but a symptom of a much larger global problem we haven't seen since the world wars. At least we haven't paid much attention to it.

THe mere fact some party does obstruct (The Democrats forget how often THEY pulled this stunt in the past) doesn't mean the fact the ability exists is bad... it serves a very good purpose, when its not abused.
And just not doing exectly what the other party demands be done... isn't obstructing. Refusing to let anything passed bu one side of the house see the light of day or even a vote PURELY because it was written by the other party... as Prince HArry has been doing, is what triely defines obstructionism.

Posted on June 19, 2014 (http://www.dcclothesline.com/2014/06/19/dhs-pay-illegal-immigrants-escorted-u-s/) by Paul Joseph Watson (http://www.dcclothesline.com/author/paul-joseph-watson/)
Minors up to age of 17 to be brought in “with dignity and respect” at taxpayer expense
http://hw.infowars.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/190614illegal.jpg (http://www.infowars.com/dhs-to-pay-for-illegal-immigrants-to-be-escorted-into-u-s/)
The Department of Homeland Security is set to pay for illegal minors up to the age of 17 to be escorted into the United States, according to a new solicitation posted at FedBizOpps.
Entitled 'Escort Services for Unaccompanied Alien Children' (https://www.fbo.gov/index?s=opportunity&mode=form&id=c6d7c0050b912fbc917a46d6709d38bd&tab=core&tabmode=list&=s=opportunity&mode=form&id=c6d7c0050b912fbc917a46d6709d38bd&tab=core&tabmode=list&), the solicitation reads;
ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] is seeking the services of a responsible vendor that shares the philosophy of treating all UAC with dignity and respect, while adhering to standard operating procedures and policies that allow for an effective, efficient, and incident free transport. The Contractor shall provide unarmed escort staff, including management, supervision, manpower, training, certifications, licenses, drug testing, equipment, and supplies necessary to provide on-demand escort services for non-criminal/non-delinquent unaccompanied alien children ages infant to 17 years of age, seven (7) days a week, 365 days a year. Transport will be required for either category of UAC or individual juveniles, to include both male and female juveniles. There will be approximately 65,000 UAC in total: 25% local ground transport, 25% via ICE charter and 50% via commercial air.
The post does not explain how ICE arrived at the figure of 65,000 children, nor does it clear up why 50% of the illegal minors are arriving via commercial air. The DHS intends to award the chosen vendor(s) 5 year fix priced contracts.The program to use taxpayer money to escort illegal minors into the United States dovetails with a recent Infowars exclusive (http://www.infowars.com/city-official-admits-us-border-patrol-fronting-cash-to-bus-illegals/) concerning how South Texas Church groups (http://www.dcclothesline.com/2014/06/17/establishment-church-groups-aiding-illegal-immigrant-invasion-u-s/) are transporting countless illegals (http://www.dcclothesline.com/2014/06/09/outrage-arizona-us-dumps-hundreds-illegal-migrant-kids-az-warehouses/) into the United States before letting them go “wherever they want to go.”Non-profit groups and churches are chauffeuring illegal immigrants from a bus station in McAllen, Texas before giving them temporary shelter and later releasing them onto the streets.Infowars reporters witnessed children and their mothers, primarily consisting of illegals from Guatemala, being picked up throughout the day by vans marked TFC (the Family Church), before being driven to nearby facilities.An employee of the organization admitted to Infowars that once the illegals are taken into temporary care, where they enjoy hot showers, food and a place to sleep, they are subsequently released and allowed to go “wherever they want to go.”It subsequently emerged (http://www.infowars.com/caught-red-handed-border-patrol-paying-to-ship-illegals-deep-into-u-s/) that the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol was paying for bus tickets and vouchers in order to help the illegals be transported into the country.The revelation arrives in the aftermath of reports (http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-texas-border-chaos-20140614-story.html#page=1) that the Rio Grande Valley has experienced an “endless surge” of immigrants attempting to illegally cross the border.Facebook @ https://www.facebook.com/paul.j.watson.71

they are not needed here. Unemployment has not significantly dropped since the crash ;and it's completely out of control for certain populations .All these "migrants " will do is further drain the resources of the taxpayers by consuming public assistance . Already they are bringing with them diseases that were eradicated here years ago .TB, malaria, yellow fever, food and waterborne diseases, and dengue fever, are just a few of the diseases crossing the border with them.

We could do here what we have always done with immigrants who show up mostly by boat. Check 'em for disease, and giving them working papers, and some food and a cot till they get their legs under 'em.
I like how you justify kicking them in the butt because of the minorities being harmed who have been here since the birth of the nation and whose butts you have whipped and kicked even now. Please spare me the compassion of conservative whose founders wrote "we the people" and "all men are created equal".

More border security and patrols under Obama than previous presidents, says Debbie Wasserman Schultz | PolitiFact Florida (http://www.politifact.com/florida/statements/2013/jul/01/debbie-wasserman-schultz/more-border-security-and-patrols-under-obama-previ/)

Under Obama, border apprehensions have fallen from their high points. Border apprehensionspeaked (http://www.migrationpolicy.org/pubs/enforcementpillars.pdf) at almost 1.7 million in 2000 under President Clinton, and apprehensions in 2011 were at the lowest level since 1970. The post-2008 declines are due to the recession and loss of jobs which had attracted unauthorized immigrants. Net illegal immigration from Mexico has fallen to zero or even fewer coming than leaving.
Expert analysis
We sent Wasserman Schultz's claim to immigration experts. No one disputed the border patrol numbers, but they also pointed to other factors when examining changes in border security that provide a more complex picture.
"Yes, the number of Border Patrol agents is at an all-time high," said Rey Koslowski, an expert on the border and an associate professor of political science and public policy at the University at Albany. "Whether that equates to 'border security' is another question. As to who should get more credit for border security, the fence was a bipartisan project."
Christopher Wilson, an associate with the Wilson Center's Mexico Institute and an expert on border management, noted that border patrol agents don't precisely equal border security (http://www.politico.com/story/2013/02/metrics-gap-stymies-border-security-87425.html).
"In the end, though, you can't deploy border security, it must be something that is achieved. This gets into one of the major problems with the whole border security debate—the lack of an accepted definition of the term."
Our ruling
Wasserman Schultz said, "President Obama has the most border patrols and border security deployed at the border of any previous president."
She is correct that the highest number of border patrol agents has been under Obama: there were 21,444 in 2011. Wasserman Schultz was careful here and said "most" and didn't talk about the growth rate. But it's worth noting that the big growth was during Bush's tenure: between 2001 and 2009, the number of agents posted nationally rose from about 9,800 to a little more than 20,000.
Other border security measures are not as simple to quantify. The key piece of infrastructure -- the fence -- was launched under Bush. Work on the fence and other border security improvements continued under Obama.
We rate this claim Mostly True.

What are they trying to hide ?
A Health and Human Services official refused to allow a member of Congress to enter a facility in his district where some of the unaccompanied immigrant children are being housed.
Representative Jim Bridenstine (R., Okla.) was told he could schedule an appointment for July 21. “What are they trying to hide?” Bridenstine said after the incident. “Do they not want the children to speak with Members of Congress? As a Navy pilot, I have been involved in operations countering illicit human trafficking. I would like to know to whom these children are being released.”
There are 1,200 immigrant children at the base. Bridenstine’s office explained that HHS releases the children to a “sponsor” in the United States. The congressman said that a security guard at the Fort Sill, Okla., facility refused to let him enter the barracks without HHS approval even though he is a member of Congress.
“There is no excuse for denying a federal representative from Oklahoma access to a federal facility in Oklahoma where unaccompanied children are being held,” Bridenstine said in the press release. “Any Member of Congress should have the legal authority to visit a federal youth detention facility without waiting three weeks.”

ICE: Many Immigrants Skip Court Hearings | NBC 7 San Diego (http://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/ICE-Many-Immigrants-Skip-Court-Hearings-265634251.html?partner=nbcnews)
Illegal immigrants already being released to neighborhood near you | Fox News (http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/07/01/illegal-immigrants-already-being-released-to-neighborhood-near/)
The releases have already started and the Border Patrol did not disclose how many. At least 60,000 Central Americans have entered the country illegally this year, though some news reports say the figure is as high as 170,000. An effort is under way to place children in foster homes or with relatives already living in the U.S., said Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas.
The adults are being given a “notice to appear,” something like to a traffic ticket that requires they show up for a deportation hearing. Following that notice, they are simply being released. Those who return for the hearing will face a federal immigration judge to determine their fate.
“You know good and well they won't show up and we won't go looking for them,” Gohmert said. “When they get their piece of paper saying report back on such a day at such a time, they take that as their legal permit to stay in the country and they go do what they want.”
A senior Los Angeles County Sheriff's detective who routinely deals with illegal immigrants said a “massive number – 80 to 90 percent” do not show up for deportation hearings. Detention is not even being considered because Homeland Security facilities are not equipped to hold a large number of people, said the detective, who spoke on a guarantee of anonymity.
