Clearly the Obama administration did little to address this problem.
This section of the Homeland Security Act defines what “unaccompanied children” are discussed “facilities” for unaccompanied alien children, and the necessity for them to appear at their immigration hearings.

Didn’t his admin have people in these countries (NGOs) pass around flyers telling them how to play the system?
Almost seems like this is being done purposely.
What do you mean? The Obama Administration actively encouraged the problem.
I looked into this when the “surprise” flow of kids was announced, around June.
I found contracts let out (on fbo.gov) in January for “services for unaccompanied minors” including housing, health, transportation to states far from the borders, counseling. The contracts mentioned 60,000 minors. So the “surprise” is somewhat of a surprise since the gov had clearly been planning it since at least January.
I found enough contracts awarded to realize that there is money to be made in the refugee business.
If you don’t know about FedBizOps, fbo.gov, it’s a great way to see what contracts are sought and what gets awarded.
This flood was not accidental, rather, an orchestrated invasion. Our Republican Congress and the Obama administration were concerned
CLEARLY the democrats still don’t want to address the illegal problems they kicked down the road and now they see they can use illegals votes, they scream about the ‘kids/families’.
They refuse to work with Trump so much that they would rather see the gov shut down under his watch then to help solve the problem.
We have to reiterate as much as possible to fight their last hope of getting people to dislike him for hurting families.
“Clearly the Obama administration did little to address this problem.”
The Fraud did have Big Media stop reporting on it...
We have to send a clear message, just because your child gets across the border, that doesnt mean the child gets to stay, the former secretary of state said. So, we dont want to send a message that is contrary to our laws or will encourage more children to make that dangerous journey. Hillary Clinton 2014.
.
Was Hillary slamming president obama when children wetre being ‘ripped from their parents’ and ‘thrown into cages like dogs’ when obama was president/ No? Why Not? It wasn’t a problem back then? Not a humanitarian crisis’ back then? It’ only a crisis when a republican is president?
.
Hypocrite much hillary?
Ssdd. Same ol same old. Been there done that. How many ways are there to say that theres nothing new about them or their tactics, whether on the border or anywhere else?
With Hillary and obama, all you had to do was look at their early behavior to predict everything that would follow, especially with how they go about taking and holding territory.
Here, from the archived June 27, 2004 The Sunday Standard Kenyan-born Obama all set for US Senate, is Barry oh on the troubles of his then ex-opponent for Senate, Jack Ryan:
"I feel for him actually," Obama told a Chicago TV station. "What hes gone through over the last three days I think is something you wouldnt wish on anybody."Wouldnt wish?!? Ha! Id go long on that one.
Master of deflection, its hard to believe obama didnt know about Ryans troubles before they happened. In fact, I wouldnt be surprised if all of it was obamas idea, or someones on his team, as a way to get rid of Ryan.
And, it worked, too! Review that operation and youll see that it always has worked and that it still does.
(FBI files? What FBI files? We dont have any FBI files.)
See, thats not just how they roll, but its also a technique that reveals who they roll with and are rolling after.
Its not like thats a secret or anything. Just read the dedication to Alinskys book of their guiding principles to see it in black and white, and then look at them to see it in their hijacked rainbow of colors.
Youll see, again and again, how they use misdirection and their blaming others for what they themselves are doing, time and time again, situation after situation.
It works, especially if they control the message via controlling the messengers, which they also have done with all but a few.
And, with those that they dont control, they alinsky into silence.
Or at least try to. TRUMP! has been the antidote to all of the serpents poisons and, since the 2016 election, the odds favoring our recovery improve by the day!
From their earliest encounters with TRUMP! to those now, the way they react to him kinda reminds me of how the demons reacted to Jesus, even when other people around Him were clueless.
And similarly, everywhere TRUMP! goes, he casts them out with the truth he brings with him. Only then do things improve and return to functioning as they are supposed to.
Best of all, win after win, we, the people, understand first hand how all of the swamps seers and sayers, who we have been made to trust election after election, were wrong!!!
Best. Election. EVER!!!
I would look at rooters to see what they report on today but, no.
But, I may just some how have send them a link to this.
