More Than 10,000 Unaccompanied Minors Apprehended on US Border in Last 2 Months (173% / year) Video

The number of children who are caught trying to slip across the U.S.-Mexico border alone and illegally has quietly surged again more than a year after President Obama referred to the problem as an "urgent humanitarian situation."

While the world has been focused on Europe's migrant crisis, apprehensions of unaccompanied minors along America's own border have exploded: More than 10,000 undocumented children have been stopped in just the last two months, according to U.S. Border and Customs Protection.

The 10,588 apprehensions are a 106 percent increase over the same Oct. 1 through Nov. 30 period from last year, when 5,129 kids were picked up.

Apprehensions of family units -- legal guardians with children under 18 -- have proliferated too, with 12,505 detentions in those two months, representing a 173 percent increase from last year's 4,577 seizures in the same time frame.

And the issues that prompt a family to send a young child away from their home country on a dangerous trek to the U.S. have only gotten worse, namely gang and drug-related violence.

Snip

The government's Office of Refugee Resettlement expanded the temporary housing it puts unaccompanied children in from 7.900 beds to 8,400 beds in November, CBP said. The housing is dormitory-like, said Young, with education and modest healthcare offered inside the building; the children cannot leave the premises.

Snip

The kids stay in their temporary housing until Department of Homeland Security locates a relative within the U.S. to whom they can be released safely -- but because they came in illegally, they are still in deportation proceedings. They aren't provided with government-funded counsel, so if they want to request asylum or pursuing special immigration juvenile status, they're dependent on pro bono lawyers, through groups such as Kids in Need of Defense.

While looking for this segment on O'Reilly Dec 22 with Eric Boling, I also found the data - link below - and if you drill down into the numbers, it shows the number of apprehensions at the border. (also breaks down by area).

This may be attributed to the aliens turning themselves in to border patrol, as the guest on the segment says, reflecting a change in trying to evade border patrol previously.

Ira Mehlman - Federation for American Immigration reform (FAIR) and Francisco Hernandez, Immigration attorney are the guests.

How wicked one is to send their child unaccompanied away from you through the desert to another country. If these are really children, that is. I feel bad for the kids, I really do.

It’s time to start turning these freeloading invaders around. They can go scrounge off of their own governments. I’m tired of having to change MY culture and lifestyle because it offends THEM.

Are there any ROGUE AMERICANS left at the NSA who can dig into Jeh Johnson’s communications to PROVE that he is actively involved in ORGANIZING THE FLOW OF THESE LARGE GROUPS OF INVADERS?

I dont.

And I tell them I dont and never will.

Told a co-worker I did not want to hear another word about how islam indoctrination of elementary school kids constitutes a "well rounded education."

Literally cut the guy off in mid-sentence.

Told him conservatives are not rolling over, not knee-jerking to the "racist" and "phobic" accusations tossed out as an ultimate "trump card" any more to boot and HE better get used to it.

He has not said a word to me in three days now, HA!

Do not let them in the country. Send them back on foot or bus or whatever. Do not let them in.

When it becomes Mexico’s problem it will stop. Dump them at the border with a bottle of water and shove them over the line.

This is nuts.

AUSTIN (CBSDFW.COM/AP) — Governor Greg Abbott said today that the state will be taking a series of actions to combat illegal border crossings “in the wake of federal inaction.”

In a release, the governor said he warned Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson “about the significant increase in unaccompanied minors who are once again pouring across our border.”

The Obama administration has defended the amount of federal resources put toward border security in the last two decades as more than at any point in history. But a letter obtained by The Associated Press this week revealed Sylvia Burwell, the secretary of Health and Human Services, renewing concerns to Congress that too little money will be available to house the latest influx of children.

Federal officials are hoping to avoid a repeat of the crisis it saw in the summer of 2014, when tens of thousands of children and families came over the border. Border Patrol holding areas became overcrowded, with children sleeping on concrete floors covered by aluminum foil-like blankets.

Abbott, who took office in January, approved a record $800 million in state border security spending earlier this year. The governor had previously declined to say when the National Guard mission could end, saying he did not want troops to leave until Texas trained hundreds of new law enforcement officers to replace them.

Abbott said he has also ordered the Texas Department of Public Safety to increase patrols in the air and on the Rio Grande. He is also providing more money to two counties near

Trying to remember how my math teacher explained to me that there is no such thing as “over 100%”..

Send them all back and bill it to the offending country (with interest) :p
