Surge in Children, Families at the U.S. Border May Be the 'New Normal' by MARK POTTER and ELIZABETH CHUCK A dramatic spike in unaccompanied children and families trying to slip in across the U.S.-Mexico border may be "the new normal," officials say, with some believing the surge is linked to a federal ruling that ended long-term detentions.
The number of apprehensions of unaccompanied minors and family units — legal guardians with children under 18 — rushing the nation's southwestern border peaked last year, then fell off as Obama tapped the Federal Emergency Management Agency to figure out what to do about the young refugees.
But in recent months, apprehensions have proliferated again: More than 10,000 undocumented children have been stopped in just the last two months, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

The 10,588 apprehensions are a 106 percent increase over the same Oct. 1 through Nov. 30 period from last year, when 5,129 kids were picked up.

Welcome to the land of the BIG PINATA! The Land of the Free Stuff!
It’s a Free For All!
We’re So Screwed.
Build a wall.
With a moat.
And landmines.
When the big economic collapse occurs, I suspect there will be a lot of angry people out for vengeance. The people who worked hard all their lives and were very frugal, will probably want to express their “disappointment” against some parasitic groups. It will not be pleasant for some people.
Wait till they hear that Trump may be elected. The gang bangers and welfare clients will stampede over the Texas border by the thousands, trying to get here while the Kenyan still rules. He’ll probably grant them all amnesty as his parting gift to the squatters, providing they all register as Democrats for life.
I can only imagine what the border will look like if Trump or Cruz win the nomination...
Millions will be rushing to get in before the election...
Rick Perry’s got this. /s
It had better not be the new normal
Some one (maybe most of congress for all I care)needs to be impeached
They fear Cruz or Trump being elected. This surge will continue right up to the election and the more headlines about what it costs us the better it is for our side.
The ^%$# it is.
For one more year, maybe. but that is IT.
Illegal aliens are flooding the border because Obama is inviting them to come.
Children aren’t getting there by themselves.
Someone is putting them there.
/ end statement of the obvious.
Well if you didn’t like it, you wouldn’t keep voting for it now would you? :)
Yup.
‘Guess they heard that Ryan pushed through funding for all that free stuff
Matthew 19:14
But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”
Luke 18:17
Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”

Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation,
Chagas disease is one that once was only in Latin America but now all over Texas and the border states. Gee I wonder why. Don’t we have some laws that keep these people out?
