Laws passed in 2002 and 2008 made it substantially easier for unaccompanied minors to remain in the US if they make it to the border. The number of unaccompanied minors from Central America having been increasing ever since and coincide with deterioration conditions within their own countries.

There are second hand reports of local media and religious missions encouraging parents to send their kids to the US.

Assuming there is any truth to these reports, there has to be some substantial money behind this.

The NBC station in Telea is still running the story.

You really think Obama cares about a 5 year stipulation when he can merely write an executive order with his pen? There are currently 3 branches of government. Obama's pen, his phone and his agenda.

Well this news report isn't wrong is it ? Mothers with children are getting bus tickets to whatever city they want in the US.

News reports in Guatemala say mothers and small children are getting bus tickets, Bercian Diaz said.

A local newspaper says children will be taken care of by the USG for 3-4 months.
They aren't lying either.
Central American Newspapers Encouraging Minors to Enter US Illegally
A translation from Spanish to English shows that the La Prensa report reads, "According to authorities today announced the base, the [children] will be accommodated between 3 and 4 months, while their parents or relatives in the United States responsible for their care are [located]."
It continued, "During your stay, plus accommodation and food, children receive English classes, play sports and participate in targeted programs while immigration authorities contact their families.

The cartels own the politicians and the media in many Central American countries. There are reports that US border seizures of drugs has substantially declined as the migration of unaccompanied minors has increased.

- 34%, Texas
- 26%, Az
-.62%, NM

There's seriously big money behind this. And there may be multiple and potentially conflicting special interests at play, here.

We need to repair our immigration system. We can not 100% secure the border with Mexico. We don't have the money or the will to do that right now.

We need to let immigration start back again like it used to be when the Irish came over. Read some news articles from that time, the exact same things were said of the Irish, as are said of the Hispanic illegal immigrant population today.

The current crisis though, the tens of thousands of young children coming from Central America, has a direct correlation to President Obama's 2012 re-election 'campaign promise' Dreamer Executive Order. It takes a while to walk almost 1500 miles, crossing two to three national borders.
Did the kids get passports to cross any of the borders?

Did Obama create a multi-country fix for passportless migration?

Who's running the State Department?

If you read those articles there is a mass of single mothers and their kids coming here as well.
One Church in McAllen is seeing 200 a day come through looking for donated clothes before they get on the bus to wherever.

Perfusion makes it expensive to round up and return.
