For a moment let us say the truth was told and children coming has declined but what about those that are not children that continue to come? So if part of the story is true and the rest of the story is not being told, one has to ask ... Was the truth told?

It might be because this is the hottest part of the year. It might also be that the apps are down because BP agents are too busy babysitting.

Or maybe they’ve all crossed already and there aren’t any “minors” left south of the border.

They meant "miners".

Or maybe those minors were actually 18 year old males. And those claiming to be 18 y.o. minors are actually 25 y.o gang members.

The WH says fewer are being apprehended. The MSM takes that to mean that fewer are coming into the country.

In reality, the government is probably "processing" many of them instead of "apprehending" them. So, who knows how many are coming in now.

That’s what I’m talking about. There likely NEVER was very many, actual minors.

Maybe that’s why we never got to see many pictures of these “minors”.

And, maybe the sneaked pics we DID get to see were NOT minors....but gang members, like you said.

I think there is a really good chance that the majority of the ‘minors’ are actually adults. I’ve heard that more than two-thirds of the illegals are late-teen and early 20 year old males.

There was a thread here the other night. A freeper was in the Phoenix airport and eleven teen aged male illegals were getting on his plane to Baltimore. They were accompanied by 4 handlers. None of the teens had shoelaces. Wonder why? They were in detention. Probably some members of a gang like M13. Yet they were being flown to Baltimore.

Obama is doing a helluva job. And BoneHead does nothing about it. They obviously have pictures.
