The Obama administration has expanded its already-questionable program to bring in more illegal alien children to the United States, announcing in a recent press release it will now allow illegal alien adults to be fast-tracked to the United States via its Central American Minors (CAM) program.
First launched under President Obama’s executive actions on immigration in 2014, the CAM program was originally touted as a safe alternative for Central American children trying to get to the United States via human smugglers. Under the program, Central American parents living in the United States, including those who are here illegally but are being withheld from removal, could apply to have their child brought to the United States as a refugee or a parolee, provided that child was under 21 years old and could pass a medical and background check.
The program failed to gain much traction, however, as the more lengthy process proved less appealing and slightly more restrictive than simply crossing into the United States from Mexico. Only about 9,500 applications have been received since the program launched, according to the most recent data.
But now, the Obama administration says it will expand its alien children program to include parents of Central American kids living in the U.S., related “caregivers” (i.e., miscellaneous family members) and any children older than 21 -- basically, anyone but actual children.
A press release from the Department of Homeland Security reiterates the administration’s commitment to “resettlement opportunities” for Central Americans:
As the United States has made clear in the past, we are committed to protecting Central Americans at risk and expanding resettlement opportunities in the region. The steps taken today, and over the past year, are another example of the creative solutions being taken across the federal government to make progress on this issue. Today’s actions will not solve this challenge alone, but are steps in the right direction and are a further example of the United States’ continued commitment to this ongoing situation.
The Center for Immigration Studies noted Monday that the U.S. is already sending about $750 million in foreign aid to Central American countries, as well as spending about $948 million annually on the Unaccompanied Alien Children program. American has also given about $3 million in U.N. contributions for Central American refugees. Given the amount of taxpayer dollars already being allocated for Central Americans, CIS points out the real reason behind the CAM program expansion: agenda-driven “family reunification.” CIS notes:
In other words, individuals from El Salvador, Guatemala, or Honduras who made it to the U.S. – illegally for the most part – can now have their extended family members flown to them with U.S. taxpayers' money. And those on the other side, who considered crossing here illegally, could be spared the trouble and given legal status. This seems to be this administration's idea of enforcing immigration laws
PING!
The Republic is dead. Long live the Republic!
Paul Ryan will fully fund it.
This son of a bitch just does whatever he feels like.
He could organize state sponsored executions of his political enemies and the morons would be cheering him on.
WTH!!!
Obama doesn’t treat this like a republic at all.
Take a pill for God’s sake.
Doing the exact opposite of what an American president should be doing.
I will never forgive the Democrat party for foisting off that pig on America.
Go TRUMP!!
JUST AS I WAS ABOUT TO POST A QUESTION, asking why Obama is doing what he is, vis-a-vis mass immigration, I found your answer.
Obama despises the American Republic, and much prefers that it cease to exist, in body and in spirit.
Always has, always will.
America is the whale and obama is Ahab.
“From hell’s heart I stab at thee; for hate’s sake I spit my last breath at thee.”
This country has gone to hell letting an African lowlife do this to us. We deserve exactly what is about to happen to us. Enjoy the suffering, slavery and misery, America. You deserve it.
Or the GOP for not stopping it.
We don’t need an election....we need a revolution!
Deport the lot of them!
Why on earth do we NEED more Central American illiterate disease-ridden gang member “children” or the adults associated with them? I’ve seen quite enough Hispanic illegals in classrooms and they are predominantly unmotivated to learn, lazy, interested only in grabbing members of the opposite sex and carrying on sexual acts in class, violent, disrespectful (especially to female authority figures), and need massive amounts of bilingual education, social services, welfare, housing, etc. Of course, there definitely are a few very sweet kids who are really trying to get an education and get somewhere in life, but they are very much in the minority. For what you get from these unmotivated characters, it’s really not worth the massive investment. How many pizza makers and landscapers do we need?
He’s trying his best to convert us to a 3rd world nation in this last quarter. That and create a brown majority to overthrow white America by any means necessary. Soros knows he could never control a white America held together with Christianity so he ‘s importing 3rd world barbarians to overtake our nation and kill off the white man. Sounds far fetched. Current events say its not and only the tip of the iceberg.
When will the rage boil over?
N word!
