A total of 18 mothers, 13 girls and nine boys, who were being held at a U.S. detention center in Artesia, N.M., were scheduled to be on the Immigration and Customs Enforcement charter Monday. But two passengers fell ill and didn't board, officials said.

Hordes of politicians, camera crews and aid workers were on hand to welcome the women and children when they landed at the Ramon Villeda Morales airport. Even the nation’s first lady and her entourage were present, a show of support by government officials who have been scrambling to figure out how to alleviate what’s been called a humanitarian crisis

40 out of tens of thousands. And they were probably were homesick, so the administration gets to say, “Yeah we’re deporting them.”
They get back and spread the word, “If it isn’t for you, los estupidos gringos fly you home!

To: deport
Seriously?

A fence? Armed border guards? Sensors to detect movement? Electrify the fence? Drones to patrol overhead? Dogs? Use the militia, the military, the national guard?

The US put a man on the moon in about seven years from scratch. Don't tell me they can't close a border in six months if the will is there. The country really is at stake.

“Token.”

Exactly! This will be the sound bite/talking point coming from every lib's mouth regarding the border chaos. “We're controlling the border. Didn't you hear about the plane load of Hondurans that were sent back home?”

Andrew McCarthy sees it exactly as you and I saw it a few days ago.

“So, after 300,000 illegal aliens of all ages have spent thee months pouring in, Obama finally tells ABC News that “unaccompanied children” should not be sent to the United States because the trip here is dangerous and “if they do make it [here], they’ll get sent back.” Right. Then, even as his administration, under a veil of secrecy, transfers tens of thousands of illegals to communities across the country (without notifying state officials), Obama ceremoniously deports a grand total of 38 Hondurans. That’s — as Sweetness & Light computed — one-one-hundredth of a percent of the swarm that has crossed our border since April. Predictably, the president’s media accomplices highlight these trifling, cynical ploys as clear proof that Obama opposes the invasion he has instigated. And while we are diverted debating that claim, thousands more invaders are resettled as refugees.”
