Only 1 in 6 Being Returned to Home Country
Despite past claims by the administration that it has resolved the crisis of unaccompanied alien minors (UACs) streaming across the border, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) records show that a second surge of minors crossing the border is now underway. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) records indicate that the Border Patrol has seized over 12,000 UACs so far in fiscal year 2015 (Oct. 1, 2014- Feb. 28, 2015) and over 10,000 aliens traveling in family units. The Border Patrol is transferring these aliens to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at an average of 2,000 UACs a month, meaning that the Border Patrol is returning only one in six of these apprehended minors to their home countries.
These numbers reveal that at the rate the UACs are currently crossing the southern border, this year will be second only to last year. Other than the small number sent home, these minors are released into the U.S. with a hearing date scheduled three to five years out. Cities and towns that received a large number of UACs last year will likely see more UACs arriving this year, particularly as the numbers of aliens actually apprehended at the border may be only about half of those trying to cross.
Last Thursday, at a hearing before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, a panel of experts explored why attempts at stopping the flow of minors across the border are failing. Senator Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) asked if the "counter advertising" campaign by the administration, meant to refute the advertisements of "coyotes" who claim that minors who reach the U.S. will be allowed to stay indefinitely, have been effective. Mr. Noriega answered that no counter advertising could be effective if the promises of the human traffickers were accurate, which they are. He explained that when illegal aliens arrive and are released into the country with a notice for a hearing at a future date, they assume they are "home free" and by the time they need to appear "there is going to be an amnesty or a legalization." He also predicted that, with human trafficking - a "$6 billion" business - and executive amnesty continuing to offer an additional incentive to cross the border illegally, the crisis will worsen.
Adolfo Franco, a former Assistant Administrator for Latin America and the Caribbean for the U.S. Agency for International Development, added that Central Americans now have "a sense that the law in the U.S. has changed" and that it is now easier to get a "work permit and a Social Security number."
We are truly f**ked. There seems to be no avoiding the downfall.
Is this an Alinsky method?
1) secretly create chaos
2) act to “solve” the chaos
3) take credit and act like problem solved
4) repeat step 1
I just don't understand how that's even possible with 0's border protection.
Nah.
Rewarding lawbreakers encourages more law breaking?
Say it ain’t so!
Second wave?
It has been a relatively constant wave since the beginning of the year.
It is only called a ‘second’ wave because it hit the media as an event for the 2nd time.
We are being replaced.
So previously eradicated third world diseases in what, a month to six weeks?
Barry’s illegal, tattooed xenos are coming to steal the futures of your children and grandchildren. We all should be ashamed.
