We can line the border with them.

The surge of illegal immigrant children continued unabated in November, pushing the Obama administration to announce emergency measures to try to handle a problem it thought it had solved earlier this year.
Two months into the new fiscal year, the number of unaccompanied minors jumping the border and getting caught is at an all-time high. So far, the U.S. Border Patrol has picked up over 10,500 — more than twice the number at the same point last year.
The number of families trying to cross also has surged, with more than 12,500 people caught — a 173 percent increase over last year. The family surge underscored the changing nature of the flow of migrants, with parents increasingly risking the journey with young children in tow, hoping to take advantage of what they believe are lenient deportation policies under President Obama.

Solution to all these crossing the border illegally?
One word: “trebuchet”

Surely, the writer jests.
This will only accelerate as word get around the Third World that Obama only has a year in office left and Trump is leading in the polls.
This has to be wrong. Obama told us that these agents are more than able to properly investigate everyone who comes over the border and so we shouldn’t be worried about letting terrorists in.
We can line the border with them.
Thanks for posting. BTTT!
The push & pull factors are one and the same. welfare & other freebies.
There would be deterrent value in them too. Every few minutes those trying to illegally cross would hear “whoom-whoom-whoom-aaieeee!” and see yet another unlawful border crosser “returned” to the correct side of the border.

LOL
And skeet shooters!!
Pull!!!
This can’t be right. I didn’t see the word “unexpectedly” in there.
I thought it was a simpler word: wall.
Anchor baby invasion!
“Emergency measures” almost surely means “let more in”.
How can anyone write these words? Continuing unabated means it was already happening. Only a really bad liar (i.e., one of Obama's minions) could claim to be surprised that when you do the same thing, you get the same response. As disgusting as Bill Clinton was, at least he was a talented liar, and he didn't hate America - the opposite of today's liberals.
Is taking unaccompanied children Kidnapping ?
If you reward lawbreaking you get more of it?
Who knew?
This can’t be because I read 2 articles last month saying there are more leaving than coming in. So there.
