Immigrants caught at border believe families can stay in US

Hundreds of immigrant families caught illegally crossing the Mexican border told U.S. immigration agents they made the dangerous journey in part because they believed they would be permitted to stay in the United States and collect public benefits, according to internal intelligence files from the Homeland Security Department.

The interviews with immigrants by federal agents were intended to help the Obama administration understand what might be driving a puzzling surge in the numbers of border crossings that started over the summer. The explanations suggest the U.S. government's efforts to discourage illegal crossings may have been unsuccessful. Its efforts have included public service campaigns in Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala to highlight the dangers and consequences of making the trek across Mexico to cross illegally into the United States.

“Immigrants” = Illegal alien invaders with their hands out.

I thought the Kenyan said they could stay here. All they had to do was show up.

[arthurus]

Yes.

[hal ogen]

Wrongo, Jocko. Back to your flea-bitten country!

This explains it better.

A sworn affidavit by Mexicos consul general to a Texas court admits that Mexicos official policy is to encourage its poor people to migrate here illegally in order to access US generous welfare system......declaring that “Mexico is responsible to protect its nationals wherever they may be residing.”

This explosive document filed in Texas by the government of Mexico adds fuel to the debate touched off by Donald Trump.....

THE MONEY QUOTE A footnote states that “Mexican nationality is granted to children born abroad of a Mexican born parent.” IOW, anchor babies born in the US retain their parents’ Mexican nationality.

A sworn affidavit by Mexico’s consul general admits that Mexico’s official policy is to encourage its poor people to migrate here illegally in order to access the US’s generous welfare system......declaring that “Mexico is responsible to protect its nationals wherever they may be residing,”

The Mexican consul’s sworn testimony asserts that “My responsibilities in this position include protecting the rights and promoting the interests of my fellow Mexican nationals” and “The main responsibility of consulates is to provide services, assistance, and protection to nationals abroad.”

Ergo, Mexico’s assertion of continuing jurisdiction over its “nationals abroad,” is inconsistent with any claim to automatic US citizenship merely by reason of birth on US soil.

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

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.

Anyone surprised by this is a moron. This was the plan all along. This is what obola wanted.

I see Obama is using the same effort to discourage illegals as he did in his effort to wipe out Isis.

[Bigg Red]

If it weren’t so infuriating, it would be laughable to see how the news media put out such lies and think that everyone will believe them.

Apparently, this week’s WH talking points outlined the narrative of bafflement in the face of a totally successful WH-sponsored invasion.

Obama Security Department, Obama Bureau of Investigation,Obama Revenue Service etc etc

[pfflier]

Remember too, that obummer wants to give them free healthcare now.

I thought about making a similar comment but realized FR wouldn’t miss that obvious absurdity.

The anti-American thug in our White House believes that the three most harmful things he could do to America would be (1) attracting swarms of illegals by offering them unlimited welfare followed by citizenship, (2) arming Iran with nuclear weapons by paying for their weapons program and protecting them against the Israeli Air Force, and (3) leaving our children with a debt so huge that it cannot be paid off ever. What little energy and ability Obama has is being devoted to all three of those efforts.

Obama has been encouraging illegals to come here, and there has been no discouragement at all.

[Gritty]

It's a terrible thing when we don't have enough American parasites collecting "free" money and voting Democrat so we have to import millions more.

This country is about finished. It's only a question of a time until our economy collapses and the ethnic cleansing and outright massive looting of the property and wealth of freedom loving Americans starts.

Remind me to go to some country’s border and tell their border patrol, “Oh, I believe I’ll get to stay and your citizens will support me!”

The arrogance and sense of entitlement these people have is simply breathtaking. And they wonder why we’re “prejudiced” against them.

I like the headline the local CBS affiliate put on it...because it’s more accurate:

Immigrants Caught At US Border Think Families Can Stay, Collect Public Benefits

[GOPJ]

... permitted to stay in the United States and collect public benefits, according to internal intelligence files from the Homeland Security Department.

THAT part should have been included in the headline...

[drpix]

"... permitted to stay in the United States and collect public benefits."

This abuse is in clear violation of current law and yet has been permitted and even sponsored by the Washington Cartel of open-border Democrats and RINOs for decades!

Current immigration law calls for the deportation of aliens collecting public benefits in the US and even the exclusion of those coming here who may do so. Here are the two citations and their exact text (uscis.gov):

EXCLUSION

212(a)(4)(A) PUBLIC CHARGE - Any alien who, in the opinion of the consular officer at the time of application for a visa, or in the opinion of the Attorney General at the time of application for admission or adjustment of status, is likely at any time to become a public charge is inadmissible.

DEPORTATION

237(a)(5) PUBLIC CHARGE - Any alien who, within five years after the date of entry; has become a public charge from causes not affirmatively shown to have arisen since entry is deportable.
