Huge Spike of Families Crossing Border

The Daily Caller:  

"New data shows the White House has painted a false picture of the Central American migration by hiding a huge spike in “family units” who are illegally crossing the Texas border.

The data, which was dumped by the U.S. border patrol late Friday afternoon, shows that inflow of youths and children traveling without parents has doubled since 2013, to 57,525 in the nine months up to July 2014.

But the number of migrants who cross the border in so-called “family units” has spiked five-fold to 55,420, according to the border patrol’s data, which came out amid a storm of news about the shoot-down of a Malaysian aircraft in Ukraine, delays in failed U.S. nuke talks with Iran, and on Hamas’ continued war against Israel.

In the Rio Grande area where most of the migrants are crossing the border, the number of so-called “unaccompanied children” was actually outnumbered by the inflow by adults, parents and children in “family units,” according to the data.

The much-faster growth in “family units” has been hidden by White House and agency officials, who have tried to portray the influx as a wave of children fleeing abuse and violence.

Top officials, such as Jeh Johnson, the secretary of Homeland Security, has explained the influx as a child migration, and justified the government’s welcoming response as acting “in the best interests of the children.” That portrayal has been picked up and spread by Democratic legislators, reporters and bloggers — such as Greg Sargent at The Washington Post and Rachel Lienesch at the Huffington Post – to help mute the public’s growing anger at the Democrats’ failure to guard the border.

However. that effort has largely failed. Most of the unaccompanied youths say they’re aged 14 to 17, and many are seeking jobs. Also, multiple polls shows the majority of Americans — and near-majorities of Latin-Americans — blame Obama for the breakdown. A July Gallup poll shows that the crisis has prompted Americans to identify it as the nation’s leading problem.

White House officials also touted the wave of so-called “unaccompanied children,” and downplayed the “family units,” because they wished to focus the media’s attention on a supposed problem caused by a 2008 law, titled the William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act.

White House officials say the law prevents them from repatriating Central Americans youths and children once they’re legally dubbed “unaccompanied alien children.” Officials also say the 2008 law forces them to settle the youths in the United States until judges decide if they can stay in the country.

The 2008 law was designed to allow severely-traumatized victims of forced trafficking — such as teenage prostitutes held by violent pimps — to apply for green cards in the United States.

In fact, the Central American youths are not being trafficked. Instead, many youths or their parents pay so-called coyotes to help them cross the border, and most are eventually handed over to their parents and relatives living in the United States, often illegally.

If the youths were not deemed to be protected by the 2008 law, other immigration laws would have allowed officials to repatriate them rapidly.

Many of the men, women and children who cross the border in “family units” are temporarily held until they’re transported to cities where they have relatives or friends.

Those resettlement efforts have sparked a growing wave of nationwide protests, and denunciations from governors and federal legislators. Officials have tried to hide the migrant transfers and locations to mute protests."

 

Is anyone else FED UP with this administration's lying, corrupt, and nontransparent behavior?

Best line from the article...The invasion was invited by a systematic campaign to gut the immigration laws.

the Democrats were counting on this. It was a calculated move strategically planned and executed.

If people were truly fleeing from violence in their home land, you would think its all age groups, more elderly and woman. Most of these countries have the highest murder rates in the world because they are narco countries. It won't be long before something happens here.

Some are upset that the statistics are not proving out that it is just children, but mothers with the children. I still think they are fleeing poverty and violence in their countries. Question is whether the U.S. gives a "hoot." U.N. can determine if these are going to be immigrants or refugee status. That subverts the "legal" immigration question if they are refugees.

...what will come of the meeting next week between Obama and the presidents of Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador. He'll probably promise them MORE aid. I have a suggestion as long as they're here visiting: Let those presidents accompany their own citizens back to their own respective countries.

These immigrants will get amnesty, basically - over 70% of them have already,

[ In Reply To ..]
Congress plays no role and essentially registers no complaints. You'll now be competing with even more immigrants for jobs and resources.

Modern congressional elections do little more than soothe the political soul. We dutifully vote every two years in the certainty that our reps and senators still craft laws for all. The reality is elections increasingly serve to condone high crimes.

After decades of never missing an election, I’m not sure I’ll participate much longer in the farcical American republic. Many will not wake up till there is a full on economic crash. After that, all bets are off.

I can especially understand your last paragraph. I, too, vote every election and all I have done for the last several elections is vote for the lesser of 2 evils. In other words, my vote is not necessarily cast in support of a candidate, but more in opposition to another candidate. I would really like to have a candidate who I really, really feel will do a good job and who I feel can be trusted to keep the best interests of the country in mind rather than wanting to have power over the very people who voted him/her in and for whom they work, not the other way around. I am just totally disgusted with all of them at this point.
I've always voted, and I too am sick of our lack - of choices. Elections seem to - sm

have devolved into nothing more than a distraction - a minor formality to placate America's citizens into thinking they're making a difference. The 2-party system has become nothing more than a game, where behind the curtains, each candidate is backed by the same corporate power and financing. The only reason they don't just come clean and list our voting choices on the ballots as:
a) RJ Reynods
b) Bank of America
c) British Petroleum
d) The Church (pick any that apply):
(1) Catholic
(2) Baptist
(3) Christian
(4) Other ___________
(5) All of the above,

is because they know we minions would get upset when we discovered that's what we'd been doing all along, anyway.

By now I am what could be called a - "scored earth"

conservative. Both parties except for a few care nothing about our country; just their own power and control. You cannot keep the country when over half of your fellow countrymen are ready to shoot you in the back. Let it burn. We’ll have to start over with men and women who have a conscience and real values.

What had made a joke out of our citizenship is the fact that you rightwing nutjobs fight over everything instead of banding together with YOUR FELLOW CITIZENS to make this country even greater than it already is. Other countries laugh at how we fight amongst ourselves, just like the Arabs have always done (and you see how well that works for them). That more than anything else will be our downfall.
