... But while the government’s response has been largely focused on the southwest, the surge of child migrants is quickly becoming a crisis around the country. The fallout is being felt most acutely in places with large immigrant populations, like New York, where newly arrived children and their relatives are flooding community groups, seeking help in fighting deportation orders, getting health care, dealing with the psychological traumas of migration, managing the challenges of family reunification and enrolling in school.
“It’s almost like a refugee crisis,” said Steven Choi, executive director of the New York Immigration Coalition, an advocacy group.
Federal officials will not reveal how many children they are holding, how many are being released or where they are being sent. But in the New York region, immigrant advocacy organizations say they have seen a stunning rise in the number of unaccompanied minors seeking help in the past several months.
“All of a sudden it went from a trickle to more like a river,” said Anne Pilsbury, director of Central American Legal Assistance in Brooklyn.

Yeah, but in New York?
Arizona I can see. It’s automatically targeted because of it’s Republican proclivities, with revenge motive over it’s immigration intransigence as the icing on the cake.
But New York is one of the last places to try C-P, I think, because it’s already far Liberal. If it does collapse, a huge chunk of the rest of the country ... simply backs away thinking “well, that’ll learn ‘em”
How does it feel, advocates of illegal immigration-you got what you wished for and now it is biting you in the ass...
Hey libs, take a kid home tonight. Feed him. Clothe him. Adopt him. Now that’s amnesty!
The majority of the departments’ 100 or so shelters are near the border, but others are scattered around the country. At least two are in the New York metropolitan area, housing a total of about 300 children; they have been at capacity for months, advocacy groups said.
A spokesman for the Administration for Children and Families, the division of the Department of Health and Human Services that oversees the shelters, would not comment on the department’s current capacity or whether the agency was planning to expand regional shelter capacity."
Who the hell are all of these illegal alien, commie lawyers that are going on the boob tube and telling us that these marauding invaders are automatically eligible for amnesty and all of the taxpayer subsidized freebies that come with it? It’s time to throw those bas***** in jail where they belong.
Oh, I don’t doubt that it’s happening. Just that it’s an intentional attempt at C-P.
That they’re overloading NYC bespeaks a panic reaction to the inflow: they’re trying to stuff the kids anywhere and everywhere they can. I’m sure there’s some level of selective targeting to achieve payback (Arizona) or long term demographic goals (that little Conservative town in VA in the article this morning), but an attempt at C-P would bypass NY completely.
And I read that this is only the first wave.
Maybe because of it’s generous welfare policies? Often these C-P ideas spring out of control.
Perhaps you're referring to amnesty-minded RINOS. The open-borders crowd is fine with it.
The head guy in Washington is really amazing. He found a way to guarantee that the next administration will be democrat. He is really good at what he does.
I don't think so Texan5. The following "key words" are the reason they made it to liberal New York:
“It’s almost like a refugee crisis,” said Steven Choi, executive director of the New York Immigration Coalition, an advocacy group.
overwhelming. they can’t register them to vote democrap fast enough.
The leftists senators in MD lobbied the white hut to make sure none of them were housed in MD..
There, now that's more accurate.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
That is correct-they definitely set themselves up for it, too. I don’t believe people like Steven Choi thought they would be inundated like this in NY-they likely thought most of this would remain in the south, and they could go on sobbing about these “refugees”.
I’m delighted some “refugees” are in NY, kids or not-let them see what we’ve known here for a long time-those people are not refugees, and the only opportunity they are interested in is an EBT card. The general store out here quit taking all EBT cards and food stamps the first day these “unaccompanied kids” were in the news-smart owners...
It’s the first wave, but has been going on for months. And, the government won’t disclose numbers - how many, nation of origin, where they’re being sent, etc. Absolute tyranny.
Yeah... liberals are also all for Section 8 Housing as long as it’s not developed in their neighborhoods.
Who and what the hell is this numbnut ?
