By REBECCA KAPLAN CBS NEWS October 1, 2014 Obama Will Let Central American Kids Apply For Refugee Status: Report
The Obama administration will begin allowing children from Central American countries apply for refugee status in the United States, according to the New York Times.
The program, which was approved by President Obama, would allow several thousand children to legally come to the U.S. to join family members living here and is aimed at stopping a dangerous journey through Mexico that can involve violence, extortion and dangerous rides atop a train.
The rise in unaccompanied children crossing the border reached crisis level earlier this year as tens of thousands of kids from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador came to the southern border seeking refuge from violence and poverty in their home countries. Many were hoping to join relatives living legally or illegally in the U.S., driven in part by a belief that they would be allowed to stay.
The number of children peaked at 10,622 in the month of June, but dropped to 3,141 in August. Officials say the numbers could rise again as temperatures cool, although the governments of the U.S., Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador have been conducting messaging campaigns to spread the word that those who come to the U.S. will not be allowed to stay.

Refugees from their own parents?
That sentence really makes me think of this:
Should I really be concerned about some fools self-inflicted danger??
Refugees = THE GREAT AMERICAN APARTIED
It really is Cloward-Piven isn’t it?
This despicable anti-American is doing all in his power to weaken and destroy our country.
In other news today ..... Obama announced his daughters will be flying to Liberia to care for sick Ebola patients ......
Gee makes you wonder why the virus killing and hospitalizing kids has the same gene type as the ones from Central America.
Good one.
And the Congress capitulates again.
How does one come to the conclusion that a freeloading, illegal alien invader is a “refugee”? Because they are denied a whack at the BIG piñata? Is that how this “refugee” bull**** works?
