The flood of Unaccompanied Alien Children may hit 88,000 this year, according to Missouri Sen. Roy Blunt. Officials are anticipating as many as 88,000 will come to the border by themselves by the end of September, Blunt told other Senators during a June 19 markup at the Senate Appropriations Committee. Thirty percent of the children are aged 12 or below, while the majority of 70 percent are teenagers 13 and above, he said.
The 2019 UAC inflow is a massive increase over prior years. Roughly 180,000 children and youths were brought into the U.S. via the UAC pipeline from 2013 to 2018. The 90,000 who are expected in 2019 would allow the total of 270,000-plus UAC children to fill half of all the school seats in the four large school districts in the Washington, D.C. region at a colossal annual cost of roughly $3.5 billion to taxpayers plus much classroom dysfunction for American public-school kids.
The UAC inflow may rise again in 2020 even if President Donald Trump manages to block the catch-and-release loopholes created by Congress and the courts because many UACs are being imported from Central America by their recently arrived illegal-alien parents and relatives.
Unaccompanied minors: Theyre coming here, sent probably by their parents, GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham told Blunt and other Senators at the markup. The parents know that if you can get here as an unaccompanied minor under our laws, if you are from Central America, 98 percent stay, he said.
The 2019 flow of almost 90,000 UACs is hidden in the bigger inflow of perhaps 900,000 economic migrants from Central America who use the asylum catch-and-release loopholes to get into the United States.

See tagline.
What ever happened to that militia who went to the border because the authorities were not doing their job?
They seem to have disappeared or disbanded like the minutemen back in the George Bush days. At that time W said “vigilantes will not be tolerated!”
Thanks Georgina.
Once these children reach their undocumented parents, we should deport them all - you know... keep the family together.
Confusing headline
Story sounds like parents are not here, but in central america and sending children unaccompanied
No ethnic group has ever massively used and put children at risk in this way?
I just read a tweet from Trump. He said that he called off the raids tomorrow that were set to round up the illegals who were ORDERED to be deported. WTF!
I love Trump for F'ks sake - it's time to send these parasites back home. He keeps on delaying. Some people are going to get pissed off and start shooting the illegals. It's time to deport them peacefully - or have all hell break out.
