Joe for AmericaIllegal immigrants may be testing Obama’s resolve to grant amnesty. He is now calling their numbers a ‘crisis’.
Do ya think?
About 700 unaccompanied minors mostly from Central America were sleeping on plastic boards at a Border Patrol warehouse in Nogales, Arizona, this weekend, the vast majority flown from South Texas. It is the latest illustration of how a wave of immigrants from Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala has overwhelmed U.S. border authorities. President Barack Obama called the surge a crisis last week and appointed the Federal Emergency Management Agency to lead the government’s response. Here are some questions and answers.
The number of minors crossing the border without adults is up 92% since last year, a stroke aimed (by Central American news agencies) at appealing to the sympathies of Americans, and which is, by all accounts, condoned by voter-hoarding Democrats in particular.
From CBS News::
Illegal border crossings soared for several years in South Texas, which recently surpassed Arizona as the busiest corridor. The Border Patrol’s Rio Grande Valley sector made 148,017 arrests from Oct. 1 to May 17, far higher than the 62,876 caught in Tucson, Arizona, which is the second-busiest crossing point.
The Obama administration has asked Congress for $1.4 billion to help house, feed and transport children and plans to temporarily house more than 1,000 at military bases in Ventura, California; San Antonio, Texas; and Fort Sill, Oklahoma. Immigration officials, by policy, do not keep children in detention. They are transferred to the Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Refugee Resettlement to be housed in shelters until they can be reunited with parents or guardians.
A Homeland Security official said Health and Human Services turned to the Border Patrol to house children temporarily at the Nogales warehouse starting May 31 because they were overwhelmed. About 2,000 vinyl-covered mattresses were ordered, and the official expected the population there to double to 1,400. On Sunday, about 60 children arrived at the Nogales shelter and the same number left after they were moved to other locations, said the official, who was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly.
Tony Banegas, Honduras’ honorary consul in Phoenix, said the first toothbrushes and toothpaste were expected Monday. Children who had not bathed in days were rotating through four showers. He said there were 236 Honduran children there on Saturday, including an 8-year-old. The government has also been flying families from South Texas to Arizona and El Paso, Texas, and releasing them at bus stations. ICE has only one detention facility for families — an 85-bed center in Pennsylvania.
This benevolent attitude toward children–other nation’s children sent into the brutal world as young as age 8 by their own parents, is turning the U.S. into a massive day care center. No, it’s worse than that. . .a massive foster care center where the new parents, known as ICE and FEMA, foot the entire bill.

ahahahaha
print it up. Are the jobs created to care for these children going to be outsourced too? Or are they just going to be min wage with no benefits?
Hahahaha! Good point.
So does this mean they are going into the CPS pedophilia ring and have their organs harvested after they have been abused to the point of death?
And the PTB are going to take the money from both sides? Gotcha.
Then they call conservatives terrorists?
