Mexican Invasion Title: Illegal immigrant children surge across border at highest rate since last summer’s peak The second wave of unaccompanied illegal immigrant children has begun, with more than 3,000 of them surging across the Mexican border into the U.S. last month — the highest rate since the peak of last summer’s crisis and a warning that another rough season could be ahead. Immigration officials warned that they expected another surge as the weather improved. Although the numbers are down some 40 percent compared with last year’s frenetic pace that sparked a political crisis for the Obama administration, fiscal year 2015 is shaping up to mark the second-biggest surge on record. Authorities report having captured 15,647 children traveling without parents who tried to jump the border in the first six months of the fiscal year. Through this point in 2014, they had apprehended 28,579.
Just as worrisome is the rate of whole families — usually mothers with young children — who are crossing. So far this fiscal year, authorities have captured 13,911 “family units,” down 30 percent from last year. “These statistics show that the surge of illegal arrivals from Central America was never really over,” said Jessica Vaughan, policy studies director at the Center for Immigration Studies. She said the Obama administration and Congress have not taken steps to end the “pull factors.” Among those is the policy that requires children from Central America to be released into the U.S. rather than quickly returned to their home countries. Once released, those children usually fail to appear for deportation proceedings. The Congressional Research Service told Congress in late March that 62 percent of the children failed to show up for their cases before immigration judges from July through February. All of them were ordered deported, but the workload of officials made deportation unlikely in most cases. The Obama administration last year initially blamed bad economies and growing gang violence in Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala for sparking the surge, but later acknowledged that human traffickers were marketing the journey by pointing out a loophole in U.S. immigration system that requires non-Mexican children to be released into the U.S. while they await final immigration decisions. That gives them a chance to abscond and disappear into the shadows with the more than 11 million other illegal immigrants in the country. “Those are pretty bad outcomes for immigration hearings,” Ms. Vaughan said. “Lots of no-shows and few people getting relief. These statistics show that the administration’s response has been a failure.” U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the agency that oversees the Border Patrol, didn’t return a message for comment Monday, but Homeland Security spokeswoman Marsha Catron said the Obama administration has poured manpower and resources into trying to secure the border and vowed to update plans “to ensure we are as prepared as possible for any potential scenario.”

The American business elite are tired of paying you all first world wages and dealing with your stupid demands like time off on the weekends and bathroom breaks. Thought you said you were a US citizen. Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live." (John 11:25) #3. To: Pericles (#1) (Edited) You should take your Occupy signs down to the border and help them sneak in. Every society gets the kind of criminal it deserves. What is equally true is that every community gets the kind of law enforcement it insists on. Robert Kennedy #4.

#5. To: redleghunter (#2) I leave America to you and the Latins who are returning to Aztlan.
#6. To: GrandIsland (#3) You should take your Occupy signs down to the border and help them sneak in. Why? The corporate elite you stupid conservatives shill for let them in.
#7. To: Pericles (#5) I leave America to you and the Latins who are returning to Aztlan. There never was an Aztlan in North America to return to.
#8. To: Pericles (#6) (Edited) Why? The corporate elite you stupid conservatives shill for let them in. The leftist libtards ALLOW them to stay... even if big industry likes the cheap under the table labor. By your ideology, abortion doctors allow abortion. Admit it. You USE the illegal alien issue to sell your socialist Occupy agenda. Every society gets the kind of criminal it deserves. What is equally true is that every community gets the kind of law enforcement it insists on. Robert Kennedy #9. To: redleghunter (#0) Let's not blame and punish the kids, let's instead blame and PUNISH the politicians who have allowed this.
#10. To: GrandIsland (#8) Admit it. You USE the illegal alien issue to sell your socialist Occupy agenda. How? If I am against illegal immigration? When the cause of illegal immigration is more the corporations who hire them fault than anything else. Did you forget that Chavez's union was against illegals?

#11. To: BobCeleste (#9) (Edited) let's instead blame and PUNISH the politicians who have allowed this. I've suggested this ideal when it comes to gun laws.... but many, like the millennial generation, like to pass blame... like onto LE. The libtard trait of passing blame has infected all ages of the populace, regardless if you are conservative or libertarian minded. Every society gets the kind of criminal it deserves. What is equally true is that every community gets the kind of law enforcement it insists on. Robert Kennedy #12. To: GrandIsland, rlk (#8) Reagan armed jihads and he invented amnesty - just why does the modern day GOP like that guy who did so much damage is beyond me - maybe he looked good on the TeeVee like an 80s televangelist or some such.
#13. To: Pericles (#12) Reagan armed jihads and he invented amnesty Liar. You belive if you repeat your lies often enough and loudly enough they'll be accepted as the truth.
#14. To: rlk (#13) You just can't face reality.
#15. To: Pericles (#14) You just can't face reality. I face real reality just fine. What you are trying to do is redefine reality as a bunch of claptrap you're trying to talk myself and others into. You're trying to slowly convince us that Reagan was a bad or subversive man. I'l give you credit for consistency of intention and repetition. You try it once, get knocked on your ass, wait a while for things to cool down, then come back with variations of the same tired arguments to wear people down. You're a detriment and disgrace to this site.
#16. To: rlk (#15) That fact that you avoid the truth that Reagan amnestied illegals (why? For big business cronies?) and armed jihadis who later on used that training and network to build a bigger world wide jihad is proof you can't face reality.

More repetition of empty assertions and exaggerations from a subversive empty head. We've thouroughly covered the area before. Good bye.
#18. To: rlk, Pericles (#15) You're a detriment and disgrace to Spot on... Pericles is this and then some. Every society gets the kind of criminal it deserves.

To: GrandIsland, rlk (#18) Ronald Reagan's amnesty caused a demographic shift in the nation felt today. The dementia is yours as well as Reagan's.
