Despite the Obama administration’s insistence in 2014 that illegal border crossings from Mexico are “an urgent humanitarian situation”, the number of unaccompanied minors crossing over has soared to over 10,000 over the last two months in a new surge.
US Border and Customs Protection is reporting a 106 percent increase from last year’s October 1-November 30 period, with 10,588 children apprehended, compared to last year’s 5,129. The same can be said of family detentions to an even larger degree: The October 1-November 30 period last year saw 4,577 arrests whereas there were 12,505 over the same period in 2015 – a 176 percent increase.
“We continue to aggressively work to secure our borders, address underlying causes and deter future increases in unauthorized migration, while ensuring that those with legitimate humanitarian claims are afforded the opportunity to seek protection,” the border service said in a statement.
Following President Barack Obama’s announcement of a new strategy to tackle the problem, measures were implemented in the form of a new plan to allow young children to apply for refugee status in the US – something meant to discourage them from risky and illegal crossings.
Additionally, 150 more Border Patrol guards were stationed in the Rio Grande Valley in Texas – the place with the largest concentration of illegally-crossing unaccompanied minors.
But according to DC-based NGO Kids in Need of Defense, human smugglers have been adapting their tactics, part of which includes changing the routes used to cross over.
“The smugglers have adjusted their routes and they’re working around those border control points that the Mexicans have put in place, finding new routes,” the organization’s president Wendy Young told NBC News.

They put their kids in the hands of pimps and drug smugglers because they know that Obama will want to “reunite the family”, by bringing them all here.
Should these families be reunited? These kids have parents who knowingly subject their kids to rape, sex trafficking, drugs, and violence, just so they can move their fat asses to America and go on welfare.
If they were American parents they’d be arrested, and regardless of where they’re from, they obviously don’t give rat’s rectum about what happens to their kid, so there’s no need nor sense in “reuniting” anyone. These kids were abandoned once by their parents, and their lives were risked so fat Momma Wetback could sit on her ass and swallow Doritos.
Send ’em back, or put ’em up for adoption, but don’t bring their parents here because they’ve already proven themselves to be worthless trash, capable of risking their own kid for welfare checks.
Don’t care about another country’s children. That’s not our business. Send the kiddies back and let their own country deal with it. END OF STORY!!!! NOT OUR PROBLEM!!!
“But, but, but, the children NC! Weep, weep, tear, tear, but, but, but, the children. Nevermind your child’s future, it’s for the children!
Yep, I’m so sick of that “Think of the children” Commie propaganda. Not our problem.
which is probably where 39 year old tami huntsman found her 17 year old boyfriend gonzalo curie.
for a 17 year old, you’d think there would have been more on his FB page going further back than a year and having more than two friends.
so where was he years prior?
