Official: Second illegal immigrant wave of 30,000 coming in September, October

A second wave of some 30,000 unaccompanied illegal minors from violence-ravaged Central American nations is expected to swamp the U.S.-Mexico border in September and October,…


“Right now it’s just too hard for them to cross, but we expect when it cools down a little bit in August or in September, October, we’ll see another surge again,” said Tiffany Nelms with the U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants, a key support group handling the current crisis.


We can’t keep doing this. People and resources are stretched too thin already,… and besides that – it’s ILLEGAL.

Those are pictures from various countries. The USA does have a refugee visa, but most refugees comes from the middle east and there are limited spots available.

This is from a couple of months ago. Just a reminder of Obama's public reasoning behind allowing this illegal immigration.

Texas feels the strain from rise in Central Americans crossing the border

The White House has emphasised that many of the young people and families from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador are fleeing danger, as murder rates in those countries have spiked and children are targets for violent gangs.

First of all, I thought we are not the world's policeman. We need to stay out of other country's business and let them handle their own problems.

Second, Christians are being attacked all over the middle east and Africa - can we bring them here?

Third - Obama takes his vacations, goes to his fund raisers - unaffected by the chaos he is causing while regular people who are already struggling now has to deal with these kids taking up medical resources, taking up educational resources, taking up our food - it's just WRONG and ILLEGAL. He wants to help and be charitable - why break the law? Why not use his own resources? Ugh...

I'm not saying don't help - but dang do it without breaking the law - and do it without burdening others. That's true charity.

The law is being followed. It is the very same law that was past and signed in 2008 without objection in the House and with unanimous consent in the Senate. If you want to argue the law should be changed, argue that aspect, but don't argue the law isn't being followed because it is.

No it is being abused and misinterpreted so one party can import future voters nothing more.
