Oh No - not the children.....Agents have witnessed the recruiting at the Border Patrol’s facility in Nogales, Ariz., and that gang members are using a Red Cross phone bank there to “recruit, enlist and pressure” others illegally crossing the U.S.-Mexico border.

Agents are saying they cannot isolate admitted criminals and gang members, suspected gang members and those engaging in criminal behavior because they are minors ."

This is such bull! So, because they are minors they can't stop them from recruiting gang members from other countries on American soil and with Americas' equipment? If an American minor commits an egregious crime here, they can be tried as an adult, but illegals can't?!

Good point, Jess5! If American minors can be charged as an adults, then why can't violent illegal alien gangbangers also be charged in the same way?

Not to mention, how do they know that these thugs are telling the truth about their ages?

I think we all know by now that illegal aliens aren't expected to follow the same rules that citizens and legal immigrants are.

I get this picture in my head of an American minor in a detention center, which, they don't get that much time on the phone anyway. I can just picture him recruiting someone for a gang, and a security guard slamming the phone down, Yelling at him What A Little Punk He Was, and taking away his phone privileges, and putting it on his record. Of course the minor would be handcuffed and taken roughly back to his cell, or shared room. That guard would tell the other employees and he would be treated badly for the duration of his stay. I know this is true. I know a lot of people who work at detention centers & jails. I guess the difference is that the illegal minors aren't there for crimes they committed, but as a holding area. Yes, that last sentence was sarcasm.

Our government continues to allow this country to be a laughingstock.

Just having an MS-13 tattoo (and most members have them covering their entire bodies) should be an automatic felony and worthy of long-term imprisonment. Is our federal government really this incompetent, or are they trying to destroy us from the inside?

What is wrong with our system? How does one go about fixing this nonsense? Why aren't people being held accountable for this incompetence? Our policies are a joke, and as long as liberals have a say, the joke will get larger until it destroys us.

This could be part of the problem..."Lawmakers in both parties complained that the White House — six years in — still doesn't get it when it comes to working with Congress."

"Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., described the lack of communication between the White House and Congress as "stunning." He said he first learned many details of Obama's border request from news reports."

Lawmakers complain Obama too aloof with Congress

Def hold under lock and key those "kids" who are covered with those tats. 1 tat in a "hidden" place usually ain't so bad, even a gang 1.
