US releases immigrant families, won't say how many

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration has released into the U.S. an untold number of immigrant families caught traveling illegally from Central America in recent months — and although the government knows how many it's released, it won't say publicly.

Senior U.S. officials directly familiar with the issue, including at the Homeland Security Department and White House, have so far dodged the answer on at least seven occasions over two weeks, alternately saying that they did not know the figure or didn't have it immediately at hand. "We will get back to you," the Homeland Security deputy secretary said Friday.

The figure is widely believed to exceed 40,000 since October. It's believed to be slightly below the roughly 52,000 children caught traveling illegally from Central America over the same period, an extraordinary increase since last year that is driving a humanitarian crisis at the border.

Despite promises to the contrary, this is how it looks when the image-conscious Obama administration doesn't want to reveal politically sensitive information that could influence an important policy debate. The mystery figure is significant because the number of families caught crossing from Central America represents a large share of new immigration cases that will further strain the overwhelmed U.S. immigration courts system.

I think President Cruz, on the first day after taking office, should offer a bounty of $500 for every illegal family turned in.

Pointed to the nearest community outreach center that will help them sign up for TANF, SNAP, WICs, Section 8 and how to file for EITC, SSDI, SSI plus a local map that shows them the gullible community church centers that gives them bags of food for those times when they’ve spent all their entitlements and waiting for their EBTs to be charged up at the beginning of the month.

Didn’t we gather up the boat people who land on the Florida Keys and send them back?

When Bush was around the public always had ‘a right to know’.

Insane what they get away with now. Hypocrites.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

This is a tyrannical government completely out of control. Stalin would be proud.

How many? All of them.

Ask “Why?”

[illiac]

Typical....this administration knows only what it wants us to hear....

And, unfortunately, there are those zero supporters who are happy with that....

[patriot08]

The Marxist/Muslim is responsible for this...his Cloward-Piven scheme (a malevolent strategy of overloading and destroying our economy and our system of government)is all going as planned.

And Rick Perry was on TV again today whining about the Feds not doing anything.

Get off your a**, Perry. YOU do something! Where's 'the surge'?? Texas has the resources to secure the border and stop this insanity. DO IT.

Excerpt:

“It’s about to get worse. . . Entire villages are emptying out and coming from Central America through Mexico to the United States. They’ll be hitting in the next couple weeks. What you are seeing right now is the tip of the iceberg.”

The Daily Caller reports, “a leaked estimate by a top official in the Department of Homeland Security says the 12-month inflow will reach 90,000 by October, and then grow by another 142,000 in the next 12 months before October 2015.” That’s over 230,000, nearly a quarter million that the Democrats hope to dump on US taxpayers. Soon, this number will have grown by millions.

Citizenship in this Country means exactly Zero.When illegal aliens are valued more then your native born, you know your country is dead.

The arrogance of this entire administration is astounding, I watched the IRS committee hearing last night, when asked questions; Koskinen displayed that arrogance in spades.

[Texas resident]

Our next American president, on his first day, should shut off all dollars heading to Mexico and south. Along with this should go instructions to get their affairs in order.
Then we can talk immigration and deportations.

[Vaduz]

The Obama administration numbers couldn’t be trusted anyway.

[COBOL2Java]

Well, they'd say how many they've released, but those records have accidentally been deleted. The IRS Commissioner has been put in charge of finding out what happened, and is happily looking into it...

The divide in America is too deep. There’s no reason why we should all have to live under the same government.
