While some of President Barack Obama’s unilateral amnesty programs are still awaiting the green light from the courts before being implemented, others are moving full-steam ahead, including the president’s Central American Minors Refugee/Parole (CAM) Program, which allows certain illegal aliens from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras to petition for their children still living in these three countries to be brought to the United States.
As of March 23, 248 cases representing 290 individuals had been filed for consideration in the CAM program since the federal government first began accepting applications on Dec. 1 of last year, a State Department official told CNSNews.com.
The day the CAM program was announced, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) issued a press release calling the initiative a “government-sanctioned border surge” that would “open Pandora’s box” and encourage even more illegal aliens to come to the United States or overstay their visas in hopes of being granted deferred action.
“Under this abusive new policy, unlawful immigrants in the United States, once they are granted executive amnesty by the President, can now rely on the Obama Administration to bring their child, and possibly their spouse, who are in Central America to our country,” he continued.
If President Obama’s Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents (DAPA) Program is cleared by the courts and implemented, up to five million more illegal aliens could be granted “deferred action” status and become be eligible for CAM consideration.
If a child is accepted into the program, he or she will be granted “refugee” status in the United States, according to a USCIS spokesperson. The child can then "adjust" their status to Permanent Resident Alien after one year, and apply for citizenship status after five.

I approve of family reunification. If FedGov cares about children, they should deport these 290 criminals so the criminal illegals can reunite with their children.
Anchor babies after the fact.
I would be very surprised if the real number was only 290 children in waiting. Maybe some of the new illegals have not yet gotten the courage to try it.
The continued & planned decimation of American culture and genocide of our race.
Illegal Aliens Have Applied to Bring 290 of Their Children to U.S.And that's just one family.
“And that’s just one family”...living in one house.
As soon as the first few get passed, word will spread like wildfire.
When I first saw the headline that’s exactly what I thought. These days nothing would surprise me.
The most maddening aspect of all these criminal enterprises is, who dreams up this crap? I mean Hussein can't be doing all that entirely on his own, but it has profound and permanent effect on the entire country.
The most transparent administration in US history (exceeding even Billary's now modestly seeming lying jag) has let loose a series of "abuses and usurpations" that would make the Founding Fathers blanche.
I now wonder whether a FOIA direct question as to who dreamed up this abusive CF (specifically! Not one of those groupthink answers!) would get a response.
The response, if ever there is one, would probably be the standard, the "study group"; or "everybody."
The classic, if "everybody" is responsible, NOBODY is responsible!
And it looks like taxpayers are paying for the trips into this country.
