The White House on Tuesday announced a substantial expansion of a program to admit Central American refugees to the United States, conceding that its efforts to protect migrants fleeing dangerous conditions had left too many people with no recourse.
The administration said it would broaden an initiative that currently lets unaccompanied Central American children enter the United States as refugees, allowing their entire families to qualify, including siblings older than 21, parents and other relatives who act as caregivers.
It is unclear how many refugees might be eligible, but during its two years, the program for children has drawn 9,500 applicants, which could eventually grow to many times that with the broader criteria.
The expansion was denounced by Republicans, and it sharpened a contrast with Donald J. Trump, who has centered much of his presidential campaign on a call to shut out immigrants...
“What we have seen is that our current efforts to date have been insufficient to address the number of people who may have legitimate refugee claims, and there are insufficient pathways for those people to present their claims,” Amy Pope, a deputy Homeland Security adviser, said in a conference call to announce the changes...
The White House also said it had reached an agreement with Costa Rica to serve as a temporary host site for the most vulnerable migrants from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras while they wait to be processed as refugees...
The United Nations high commissioner for refugees has agreed to set up an unusual process to review requests from potential refugees while they are in their home countries. Administration officials also said they would begin reviewing applications from refugees in their home countries...
Republicans said the expansion was the latest example of the White House’s misuse of its authority...

Obama versus America.
Again.
Gotta get 30 million new Democrats in the country before the midterms, dontcha know...
It would be less expensive and more efficient to colonize the countries exporting refugees than to continue to act as boardinghouse for the world.
No, we don’t need any more re-conquistas; we have too many already.
After the election, particularly if Trump wins, Obama will announce a redeployment of all border patrol personnel to Kansas.
Send them back where they came from, and tell them to fix their crappy countries.
Some of these countries are going to be about 50% empty.
Yeah, we need more illiterate (in both Spanish and English) welfare sponges with rudimentary job skills who spew out more dependents like flies.
Central American = Middle East. Heck, they all look the same.
Fun fact: 10% of the entire working age population of Mexico has permanently moved to America.
That sickens me and makes me yearn for the coming Civil War.
I want my country back. If it is not given back, we’ll have to fight for it.
Send all of them to Democrat voting states. If your state votes for Hillary, you win thousands of these terrific new citizens.
Texas is full up with this slime. Check out the crime stats in Austin, the Big Blue Anus of Texas. Fully half of the major crimes there involve illegal aliens. They are like roaches. You start out with a few, name yourself a “sanctuary city” and you are soon inundated with murderers, rapists and child molesters.
What utter crap this is! Even more sickening is that the damned Republicrats sit on their hands!
Because 12,000,000 to 30,000,000 aren’t enough.
That 10 percent number is surely with the low ball numbers. More like 20 percent or higher.
