Immigrant-rights groups were left steaming after Homeland Security Secretary John F. Kelly said most of the illegal immigrant children who streamed into the U.S. in recent years were “a huge scam,” abusing lax policies to gain a foothold here.

Mr. Kelly also said the families in Central America and here in the U.S. who orchestrated the dangerous journeys were guilty of “human trafficking” of their own children. “Their families are actually involved in human trafficking at this point,” the tough-talking retired Marine general told...

Two thumbs up.

These ‘’children’’(some were actually 19 and 20 gang bangers) deserve nothing. Their parents and their own governments screw up their own countries and then think they have some God given right to expect the US taxpayer to make up their deficiencies . As if by some immutable cosmic law we Americans are obligated to do this. President Trump is right to tell the sponging Euro weenies and the Latin American hordes the day of the free ride courtesy of Uncle Sam is over.

American citizens and LEGAL aliens have rights in the US.

ILLEGAL ALIENS, not so much. Committing multiple felonies and federal offenses DOES NOT allow illegals, or any foreign front group claiming to represent them to dictate to the US what our laws are, and what will be enforced.

[CivilWarBrewing]

GIVE THESE 'CHILD TRAFFICKER' PARENTS A CHOICE:

A) Go to PRISON FOR 5 YEARS for child trafficking and CHILD ABUSE, OR

B) Get DEPORTED IMMEDIATELY, along with your children.

Take your pick, child abusers!

“Their parents and their own governments screw up their own countries and then think they have some God given right to expect the US taxpayer to make up their deficiencies “

But isn’t that really true for the entire world. It sees us as a successful place that “owes” it to the rest of the world to be it’s means of support. And at the forefront of these activities is the United Nations. I just filled out the White House Questionnaire about what I think needs to be changed in Washington. Top of my list is cutting funding for the UN and forcing it to move it’s headquarters to some other country.

[VietVet876]

No prison in the US. Costs too much. Tie foreign aid funds of the countries from which these illegals emigrated from to their assistance in transporting them back where they came from. No tickee no laundree.

>Immigrant-rights groups

These DILLIGAFs need to use that crap on their home country “government”, not ours. Until you become a citizen of the USA, your “rights” involve obeying our laws and nothing more.

How we got to this point of expectation for the filth streaming in I don’t know. I do know how to stop it.

[Veto!]

I have a very clear mental. image of the UN building with a big sign on top that says: TRUMP

Thanks be to God who sees steps further than do the family destroying, child abusing open borders promoters. That, is true charity speaking and we have to think Kelly Devinely inspired .

Central American govts conspired against the US---threatening the United States w/ more child invasions .......UNLESS we sent them more foreign aid money.

Guatemalan President Otto Perez warned the USA: "you will be inundated w/ more contagious illegals if billions of US tax dollars are not handed over."

As you read his words, remember that Guatemalan President Otto Perez is under investigation for misuse of foreign aid. Perez was formally charged on Thursday, June 16, 2016, in a sprawling corruption scheme that emptied government coffers and laundered money to be spent on Miami shopping sprees, real estate and luxury vehicles.

==============================================

GUATEMALA CITY (Reuters) - The United States should provide billions of dollars to help Central American nations curb the flow of illegal migrants, Guatemalan President Otto Perez said, and his government warns the problem will get worse if Washington fails to help.

Fleeing violence, trying to reach relatives already in the United States or seeking jobs, record numbers of child migrants from Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador have been stopped at the southern U.S. border this year, causing widespread alarm. Last month, the three countries pitched Washington an ambitious development plan to confront the issue.

They want to pump about $10 billion into the region to create jobs and lift living standards, with the bulk of funding coming from the United States, Perez told Reuters. He hopes the plan could come up with about $2 billion a year from 2015 to 2019, a sum he equated to roughly 10 percent of annual U.S. spending on border security and immigration enforcement.

"Now we understand it's not simply a question of the United States saying: 'Right, here's $2 billion a year for five years' for example - the governments of the three countries have to play their part too," the conservative Perez, who took power in early 2012, said in an interview late on Monday.

The US aid package would boost infrastructure and provide more jobs in all three countries, especially in areas that send large numbers of migrants to the United States, he added.

The three Central American governments are urging the United States to shoulder the lion's share of the costs, arguing that U.S. demand for illegal narcotics has fueled violence among drug gangs across much of the impoverished region.

"The United States has to support this, it has no other option," Guatemala's foreign minister, Carlos Morales, told Reuters. "If they don't support it, the crisis will kick off again, you can count on it."

Perez said he hoped the United States would put up about 60 percent of funding. "But we'll have to discuss it calmly and see what each individual country can do, and what can be achieved by common consent."

During meetings in New York in September, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry told Central American officials he hoped Congress could approve about $300 million in funding, Morales said, noting the sum was "nothing" given the scale of the problem.

Central American leaders are due to meet Vice President Joe Biden on Nov. 12, 2014 in Washington to sound out U.S. support for their plan, Morales added.--SNIP--

REMINDER--- $266 million of our tax dollars in the 2015 spending bill went to Central America earmarked for "humanitarian aid to the children."

Way to go, Secy. Kelly!!!!

MEXICO IS SLOBBERING AT THE US PUBLIC TROUGH The "impoverished" Mexicans here send BILLIONS of US tax dollars collected under multiple identities BACK to Mexico. The federales are getting a huge cut of that. Prolly Mexico also gets a fee for letting other countries use their border as a gathering place to slither into the US.

=====================================================

Trump accurately tells Americans oil-rich Mexcio is ripping us off royally......and is pocketing billions from deal after deal. This is in addition to millions in US foreign aid to "help" them w/ then the drug cartel problem.

======================================================

NOW GIMMEE THIS AGAIN Mexico's official policy is to send their impoverished classes over the border to ride the US gravy train...but declares that “Mexico is responsible to protect its nationals wherever they may be residing.”

OK....comprende, amigo.

Now tally up the welfare bill and send it to Mexico.

WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS TO HUMANITARIAN US FOREIGN AID
Former Guatemala Prez used US banks to launder foreign aid millions
thieving Guatemalan was elected to "redistribute" the dirt-poor nation's wealth.

Alfonso Portillo---ex-president of Central America's Guatemala--- faced charges in New York that he used US banks to launder millions looted from his impoverished nation. Alfonso Portillo took office in 2000 pledging to (ahem) redistribute Guatemala’s wealth.

Portillo, 61, allegedly ran scams to drain the impoverished country's coffers. The feds say Portillo embezzled about $2.5M provided by the Taiwanese embassy....$1.5 million was earmarked for “Libraries for Peace”....books for school kids.

Portillo colluded w/ corrupt C/A insiders---he personally endorsed three $500,000 checks issued against an account at the Intl Bank of China in Manhattan, then deposited the cash in the Miami bank account of a Guatemalan bank controlled by a close associate and political supporter.

The embezzled foreign aid money was funneled to bank accounts in Paris in the names of Portillo’s ex-wife and daughter.

<><> Portillo swindled nearly $4M defense funds ...

<><> plundered the national bank run by his alleged co-conspirator...

<><> through overdrafts financed by public reserves the pilfered foreign aid money paid for expensive watches and cars, for Portillo and his associates. (NY POST excerpt 5/28/13)

The philosophy I would urge would be a championing of the gospel. Let God bless these suffering peoples back in their homelands. The same God who said love your neighbor also said do not covet. God if looked to has plenty for all.
