If that's the case, then i'll truly believe that this is all part of an agenda -- perhaps to put pressure on congressional republicans to expedite an amnesty. i am absolutely shocked that the obama admnistration is just sitting back and allowing countless people to cross the border illegally on a daily basis, without intending to do anything to halt the flow of illegals.

I hope you all realize this entire issue isn't about (R)'s or (D)'s but rather (B)'s.

Who has the most to gain?

And that should tell you something right there. Maybe in his warp mind, he does not see this as a problem.

Oh he has time to go to 2 dem fundraisers, but does not have time to set foot near the border, GOT IT.

See what his priorities are all about.

Im guessing they're going to fire or re-assign this general soon. They certainly arent listening to him.

Mexico made deal to send more illegal aliens to the U.S. - National Immigration Reform | Examiner.com
On Monday, Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto and Guatemalan president Otto Perez Molina held a joint press conference in Playas de Catazaja, Mexico, to officially announce an agreement to make it easier for those making the illegal journey to the United States from Central America, to cross into Mexico.

Officially, the program will grant the cards to only illegal aliens from Guatemala and Belize, allowing them to remain in Mexico's southern states for 72 hours (more than enough time to reach the U.S./Mexican border by train).
..
The program will also give special protection and even financial assistance to unaccompanied minors now pouring across our border.


Here's the original article:
El Universal - Nación - México y Guatemala protegerán a migrantes
Of course it's "true" ..... I've said from the very beginning - does anyone actually know ANY "children" or even "poor" people that can travel almost 1,500 miles across a Country like Mexico with their Narco Gang Wars (be-headings all along the pathway) and conveniently end up in a Texas Border town to turn themselves into the US Border Patrol to claim "asylum"? It just doesn't work that way. It HAS to be carefully co-ordinated.

As for "how to stop it" ..... one very simple thing that nobody is mentioning ..... STOP all remissions (sending money out of the USA) to these Countries that are sending their people to the USA.
Those illegals that are already here, would not be able to send money to the Coyotes to smuggle "relatives" into the USA. Those illegals that are here, would not be able to send USA Money to family and friends back in their Home Countries. This one thing would stop a lot of what they are doing.

I've posted several links to news articles (The Washington Post) that quote "Democratic Strategists" that claim they believe this Border Crisis is their "Path" to winning the 2014 Mid Term elections - they believe this will "Rev up the Hispanic Base".

They are wrong, but it is what they believe and it is also why this is happening now. Pure Politics for re-election of Democrats.

I find this interesting and also hypocritical, where is the support of the TX, AZ and CA congressional delegations on the bills pending in congress. Rick Perry asking Obama to uses Executive Orders to solve this problem, where is congress.

Quote:
Obama said there was nothing Perry asked for that he had a philosophical
objection to and said he had instructed his staff to work with the governor on
some of his suggestions. But the president added that “if you ask people what we
should be doing, they give suggestions that are already embodied in legislation
I’ve sent to Congress.

Perry, Obama said, suggested the president take far stronger actions along
the border without waiting for Congress. Obama said he reminded Perry that House
Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) has announced a lawsuit against the president
for abusing his executive authority.
Obama defends not visiting Texas border, saying he

Default What PROOF is there that the children are Guatemalans?

Let's hear it, Administration.

Are there really so many Guatemalan legal immigrants that 300,000 children have legal family here?

Or is this crisis just another ploy by guvment to manipulate us?
