The nightmare at the border shows no sign of abating anytime soon. Thousands of illegal aliens, including a massive increase in unaccompanied children, have crossed the border this year.
Not surprisingly, 90 percent of the illegal minors do not show up for their court hearings and prefer to escape onto the streets of this country, knowing there is very little chance they will ever be deported. In 2013, only 1,800 of the 38,759 unaccompanied children who entered the country illegally were deported.
The total number of undocumented aliens is unknown, for our border patrol only apprehends 25 percent of the people who illegally cross into this country. The scary aspect to this crisis is that our government has no idea the extent of the weapons, drugs and diseases that have been brought into the country.
Amazingly, Obama administration officials have allowed gang members to stay, even murderers. Last year, the Department of Homeland Security released over 36,000 miscreants who were convicted of crimes such as homicide, sexual assault and kidnapping.
The influx of illegal aliens will bring more crime to our streets and lead to more joblessness for our citizens. It is indisputable that low wage, unskilled illegal aliens will take jobs away from American citizens. This will lead to more Americans on government assistance, growing our welfare state.
While the House of Representatives passed a bill to deal with the crisis, the Senate refused to act and the President is going on a two week Martha's Vineyard vacation. His answer is to spend almost $4 billion to hire bureaucrats and provide additional benefits for illegal aliens.
The flow of benefits is what is driving individuals from Mexico and the seven Central American countries to cross the border illegally.

Building the fence is paramount but it won’t stop until we stop hiring them and giving away bennies like healthcare and education.
A fence isn't going to stop them until the welcome
is revoked.
The border is pretty much a lost cause. No one will construct an actual wall that slows the invasion.
If this country’s leaders wanted to secure the border, they would have already.
I don't agree with this. These 'minors' will show up - at school registration, where a home address must be given. With a name and a home address, deportation is made easier.
Federal policy prohibits city officials from inquiring into any child’s immigration or citizenship status and background, Latham explains (the policies lie in “Dear Colleague” letters sent from federal officials at the Departments of Justice and Education).
