Border Apprehensions of Unaccompanied Minors from Central America May Top 2014 Levels
Phoenix New Times ^ | May 9, 2016 | Stephen Lemons

... U.S. Customs and Border Patrol statistics show that apprehensions of unaccompanied minors from Central America have spiked to levels near those in the first six months of fiscal year 2014, when the issue became a political football and a source of hysteria for some Americans.

According to a recent report by the Pew Research Center, CBP apprehended 27,754 unaccompanied minors on the U.S.-Mexico border during the fist six months of the 2016 fiscal year, which began this past October 1. That's close to the mark reached for the first six months of fiscal year 2014 (28,579) and 78 percent higher than apprehensions during the first six months of fiscal year 2015.

Totals for this year could exceed 2014's record high of 68,000 unaccompanied minors apprehended..

"I've heard numbers of anywhere from 70,000 to 100,000," Young tells New Times.

According to Pew, there's also a spike in minors traveling with family members, with more than 32,000 family members detained in the first six months of the current fiscal year — compared to the 13,913 family members detained on the southern border during the first half of fiscal year 2015.

As was the case in 2014, most unaccompanied minors and family units are being apprehended in the Rio Grande sector. But there have been significant increases in apprehensions in Arizona's Tucson and Yuma sectors, as well.

"Young says many of the family units are young mothers with very young children. Many are from Central America. And many are housed in what she describes as "large, institutional, jail-like detention facilities" run by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security while they await deportation hearings."

ALL dependent on handouts. People like Marco Rubio & his handler Cesar Conda want the borders open because they get BIG $$$ from these private prisons.

If Latino immigrants were going to prosper, they would have done it in SoCal

I really wouldn’t call changing their diapers and baking birthday cakes for them, “apprehension”.

“I really wouldn’t call changing their diapers and baking birthday cakes for them, “apprehension”.”

Indeed!

More about the ownership of our legislators by the big private prison/detention outfits.

http://www.counterpunch.org/2013/03/14/meet-the-private-prison-lobby/
[snip]* Marco Rubio (R-Fla.): Member of the Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee, and Foreign Relations, received $29,300 from the GEO Group. Wells Fargo (also heavily invested in private prisons) gave Rubio $16,150.

Navigators Global lobbies for GEO. GEO paid Navigators Global $120,000 for lobbying in 2012. (Navigators Global is CESAR CONDA*)

Cesar Conda*, the guy who OWNS Rubio and Paul Ryan really profits from the private prisons.

[snip]Upon winning the Senate seat, Rubio tapped former lobbyist Cesar Conda as his chief of staff in 2011. Conda had co-founded what is now GEO’s main lobbying firm, Navigators Global, and after joining Rubio, continued receiving payments of $150,000 from the firm as part of a stock buyout arrangement. In April 2014, Conda went on to lead Rubio’s Reclaim America PAC as a senior adviser, until recently rejoining Navigators. http://towncriernews.blogspot.com/search?q=private+prison

I would start a rumor that all the unaccompanied young boys are rounded up and sold off to homosexuals in San Francisco (and the money raised used to help pay off the national debt).

King Obama will drowned America and we will never be able to fix. America is a communists nation now under control of a dictator and his Administration. There is literally no Senate or House and the Supreme Court is useless. Wake up. This will destroy our economy as well as many will be our criminals.

You did not mention Baptists Children Charity, Catholic Charities, and some other globalist type charities—World Relief, etc...They are major beneficiaries of the border surge. wonder if they are also contributing to the coffers of Ryan and other open border hacks.

More than likely. They are certainly a part of Bush’s push for ‘faith based’ politics he promoted to use the churches to push his agenda.

“King Obama will drowned America and we will never be able to fix. “

It’s not just him. It’s the GOP! The GOP gets more big $$ from these private prisons who house aliens than the dems do.

This is Ryan’s agenda, and Rubio and CRUZ who went to the border last year to hand out goodies to these invading welfare seekers. Like my tax $$ isn’t enough!

As you well know, they are not apprehending very many compared to the numbers crossing!

Illegals are flooding in where I live, I had some in my back yard yesterday evening wanting to use a phone. They now have the attitude that we are all here to help them, like a welcoming committee! That tells me they are getting quite a bit of assistance along their way to the border.

We have to put a stop to this!

They also buy bus tickets and give cash cards to some of them. This is insane!

The illegals I had in my yard yesterday were sure not 3 year old orphans either. I want a moat with alligators- yes I do.

Please donate to Free Republic if you haven’t already donated. We need to keep FR strong for the fight ahead!

Those that support open borders and illegal immigration have really dug in their heels and it won’t be easy to counter them.

So sorry you have to deal with this Tammy8. I hope Trump has made the country realize what a problem this is.
