Border Meltdown: Obama Delivering 290,000 Illegals To U.S. Homes
10:02 AM 07/05/2014
The vast majority of 50,000 unaccompanied youths and children who have illegally crossed the Texas border during the last few months have been successfully delivered by federal agencies to their relatives living in the United States, according to a New York Times article.
A second New York Times article reports revealed that officials have caught an additional 240,000 Central American migrants since April, and are transporting many of them to their destinations throughout the United States.
The deluge of 290,000 illegals — so far — are exploiting legal loopholes that allow them to get temporary permits to stay in the United States.
Experts say that President Barack Obama’s administration has failed to close the loopholes and is unlikely to deport more than a small percentage of the illegals, despite the high unemployment rates among American Latino, African-American and white youths, and the strapped budgets of many cities and towns.
The president’s policy has caused protests by frightened citizens in towns such as Murrieta. But Obama’s allies — such as La Raza, an ethnic lobby for Latinos — are eager to escalate the conflict and to paint the protestors as racists. Those protests may escalate before the November elections.
The Central American parents of the 50,000 youths and children are using a 2008 law to ensure their children are transported to them for free by a relay of border patrol and Department of Health and Human Services officials. The youths are delivered to the border patrol by smugglers, dubbed coyotes, in exchange for several thousand dollars.
Half of the 50,000 Central American youths were delivered by taxpayer-funded employees directly to their parents now living in the United States, and another third were delivered to people who said they were close relatives, said the July 3 article.
That new data was included in the 19th paragraph of a 20-paragraph June 3 article.
Top immigration officials choose to not heck if the relatives or parents who pick up the children are in the country legally.
Both New York Times articles described the border-crossing illegal aliens as “immigrants.” In fact, “immigrants” is the term for people who legally migrate into the United States.
The 240,000 strong-group largely consists of many mothers and young children, most of whom are now being flown and bussed to destinations near where they wish to settle. That new 240,000 number was included in the seventh paragraph of a 24-paragraph article.
Few of the illegal immigrants are high-school graduates, or have skills that would allow them to earn more than they cost to federal, state and local taxpayers.
Officials have not said where they’ve delivered the adults or youth illegals, but pro-American activists are keeping track of some locations, including San Diego, Calif.
Officials have defended the administration’s catch-and-release policy, which critics say is inviting more Central Americans to cross the border in the hope of being arrested by the border patrol.
“When you have a noncriminal [border-crossing ] mother, they are going to be released,” David Jennings, the head of the Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agency in southern California. “The most humane way to deal with this is to find out where they are going and get them there,” he said at a town meeting held in Murrieta, Calif., according to the New York Times.

Goodlatte: Border Crisis ‘Disaster of President Obama’s Own Making’
Posted at 2:31 p.m. on July 3

After concluding a bipartisan, fact-finding tour of the immigrant crisis on the Southwest border, House Judiciary Committee Republicans said Thursday the onus is on President Barack Obama — not Congress — to address the surge of Central American women and children entering the country illegally.
In a conference call with a small group of reporters, Judiciary Chairman Robert W. Goodlatte, R-Va., and Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., said that while there were may be some things the House could do to confront the matter head-on, this was a crisis of Obama’s making and he should be the one to fix it.
“If the president came forward with targeted changes … [and] tweaks to the law that would make it easier for [Customs and Border Patrol] and [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] to do their jobs, the Congress should look with care at that,” Goodlatte said. “But when the president said the other day that the House should pass the Senate’s comprehensive immigration reform, that, to me, is exactly the wrong thing to do to solve this problem.
“This trip has confirmed that this is a disaster of President Obama’s own making,” he continued. “He has many tools that he could use right now to quell this activity.”
Issa, a Judiciary panel member and chairman of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, agreed.
“[Goodlatte] made it clear he stands ready to make minor changes to the law that would correct imperfections” in the last immigration rewrite passed in 2008, Issa said. “But the 2008 law did not cause this. The president’s own statements and policy caused this. Any changes in the law would have to involve the president’s reversing.”
Goodlatte and Issa, among other House Republicans engaged in the issue, have said that Obama’s unilateral actions on immigration policy have caused vast misinformation campaigns in Central America, leading parents to believe that if they take, or send, their children to the U.S.-Mexico border, those children will be able to enter the U.S. and stay.
That assessment has prompted Issa to put pen to paper, drafting a letter co-signed by 32 colleagues that calls on Obama to send a signal to these children and their families by ending the 2012 executive action that provided stays of deportation to undocumented immigrants brought into the country illegally by their parents — the so-called “Dreamers.”
Goodlatte and Issa traveled through the Rio Grande Valley Wednesday and Thursday with Texas Republican Blake Farenthold, Texas Democrat Shelia Jackson Lee, and Democratic Reps. Zoe Lofgren, Calif., and Joe Garcia, Fla. Asked whether he took away from the trip any indication that House Republicans and Democrats could work together to address the crisis back on Capitol Hill, Goodlatte demurred.
“There are some aspects we can work with on a bipartisan basis, but there are also those who view this issue differently than we do,” Goodlatte said of Democrats, who tend to view the problem through the prism of the need for a comprehensive overhaul of the nation’s immigration laws, something that no longer seems viable in the 113th Congress.
In an interview with CQ Roll Call on Wednesday, Farenthold suggested that the Judiciary Committee’s findings, paired with the outcome of Thursday’s House Homeland Security Committee field hearing in McAllen, could determine what action Congress might take back in Washington, D.C., next week.
Farenthold added that Speaker John A. Boehner, R-Ohio, asked McCaul to hold the hearing and also convened a special working group to advise colleagues on the crisis, both of which suggested an interest in continued engagement on the part of GOP lawmakers.
The Appropriations Committee might respond to the administration’s request for emergency funding to bolster border resources, but based on Goodlatte’s statements, it now appears more likely than not that the House GOP will largely focus its energy, leading up to the midterm elections, calling out the Obama administration, rather than moving legislation, at least through the Judiciary Committee.
During their tour of “a number of facilities along the U.S.-Mexico border” that included those in McAllen, Brownsville, Harlingen and Port Isabel, Goodlattee said the delegation found that the “vast majority of minors who are unaccompanied meet up with their parents who are in the U.S. illegally, and there are a great many who come here with their parents.”
“There are almost as many people showing up in family units, almost always with children, and … they’ve been informed in their home country through advertising, through drug smugglers, through human traffickers, that if they come to the U.S., either unaccompanied as children or with their children, they are going to be admitted into the United States and be allowed to stay,” Goodlatte continued.
Further, Goodlatte said, children are being instructed not to resist apprehension by agents at the border, believing that if they endure detention at a holding facility they will then be released into the custody of a family member in the United States waiting for them.
“Border patrol agents that we spoke with were pretty consistent in saying the best way to stop this crisis is through deterrence,” Goodlattee said. “They were very clear that deterrence must be the focus, and there must be an end to the so-called ‘catch and release’ policy, because that’s what’s driving here … There’s little if any consequence right now for illegal immigration and that needs to change.”
In a press release sent to reporters following the call, the argument is made that “word has spread to the Americas and beyond that women and children are not priorities for removal, as outlined in the Obama Administration’s immigration enforcement ‘priorities.’”
The press release also highlights the finding that “strict environmental rules prevent Border Patrol agents in the Rio Grande Valley Sector from accessing federal lands along the border” and that officials “cited restrictions on federal lands as a burden to doing their job of securing the border.”
Goodlatte said that members on the trip were told that smugglers were charging anywhere from $4,000 to $8,000 to smuggle children into the United States, and that while they weren’t permitted to speak to children in the detention center, he and Issa did get to interact with some children and adults in the midst of being apprehended near the Rio Grande River.
“Their stories,” he said, “are basically, ‘I wanted to come to the United States, I wanted to be reunited with a family member in the United States and I’ve been told that if I come, they’ll let me in.”

Congressman: We Can’t Just Kick Them Off a Bus in Guatemala
Posted at 3:46 p.m. on July 2

President Barack Obama deserves blame for much of the misery in overcrowded illegal immigrant facilities on the Southwest border, a conservative Texas congressman told CQ Roll Call Wednesday.
But “instant deportation,” Republican Blake Farenthold said, is no answer to the crisis.
The second-term congressman is part of a group of lawmakers taking a firsthand look this week at Texas facilities that have been stretched to the breaking point in recent weeks as thousands of Central American children and mothers have streamed across the border seeking asylum.
The sudden surge of young immigrants from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador is a direct result of the president’s rhetoric on immigration, Farenthold said.
“He telegraphed a message that if you’re a kid, you’re gonna get to stay,” Farenthold explained.
But the Corpus Christi lawmaker, who before 2012 redistricting represented the area now at the center of national scrutiny, is also frustrated with many of his constituents — and even with some of his colleagues — who call for instant deportation of “alien” children.
“We can’t just take them to the town square in Guatemala and kick them off the bus,” Farenthold said. “I also make the point that, if I were to send my child on a journey this perilous, child protective services would be knocking on my door trying to take away custody of my children.
“Here’s the thing with border security,” he continued. “Let’s assume it’s 100 percent secure, we catch anybody who crosses the border within a mile of the border, alright? Even if we capture a child, we still have to do something with that child.”
The “national security” and “humanitarian crisis” elements of the child migrant border surge are different, according to Farenthold — a distinction that needs to be clear for both Republicans and Democrats as Congress reconvenes next week with just 16 legislative work days scheduled before the August recess.
Farenthold is part of a congressional delegation led by Judiciary Chairman Robert W. Goodlatte, R-Va., that is touring detention facilities and talking with government officials along the Rio Grande Valley sector of the U.S.-Mexico border. Also along for the fact-finding trip, according to a Judiciary Committee aide, are Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif.; Immigration and Border Security Subcommittee Chairwoman Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif.; and Democratic Reps. Joe Garcia, Fla., and Shelia Jackson Lee, Texas.
On Thursday, the Homeland Security Committee will convene a field hearing in McAllen on the crisis at the border. Among the witnesses expected to testify is Texas Gov. Rick Perry.
Members also visited the area over the past weekend, including Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.
Farenthold hopes lawmakers go back to Washington, D.C., prepared to tackle a specific legislative response to the issue, and that Democrats in particular “take the word back to their colleagues that we cannot wait until we can build consensus on comprehensive immigration reform to deal with this problem.”
Fear that a congressional fix will fall prey to the political debate surrounding immigration more broadly is shared by Rep. Kay Granger, R-Texas, who has been appointed by Speaker John A. Boehner, R-Ohio, to head up a GOP working group to inform and advise the House Republican Conference on how to respond to the crisis.
“I just returned from a trip to South Texas and the Rio Grande Valley,” she said in a statement Wednesday morning. “I saw firsthand the humanitarian efforts that are underway by Customs and Border Patrol agents, local officials and community nonprofits. … Throughout my visit one message was clear — please don’t call this an immigration reform issue, this is a humanitarian crisis and we need help now.”
But the issue has been inextricably linked to conversations about immigration overhaul,especially in light of Obama’s speech on Monday in which he announced he would take executive action on his own if Congress won’t act on larger reforms.
Republicans say the crisis on the border is more proof the president isn’t enforcing existing immigration law — and therefore can’t be trusted to enforce any potential overhaul.
At a hearing on the child migrant border crisis on Capitol Hill last week, Goodlatte said in prepared remarks that the Obama administration’s “failure to secure our borders, mitigate threats to national security, or enforce our immigration laws only undermines Congress’s ability to reform our immigration laws.”
Meanwhile, Democrats counter that the crisis highlights the need for a comprehensive fix.
Rep. Luis V. Gutiérrez, D-Ill., released a statement following a letter Obama sent to congressional leaders Monday in which he requested emergency appropriations to bolster resources at the border — and expressed a desire to give the Homeland Security department “additional authority to exercise discretion in processing the return and removal of unaccompanied minor children.”
“There is an important lesson in this: If you fail to institute a safe, legal and orderly immigration process for several decades, chaos ensues,” said Gutiérrez, who has fought hard, on both sides of the aisle, to overhaul the immigration code in 113th Congress. “The same Republicans who have blocked immigration reform and are fanning rumors with claims that President Obama is not enforcing immigration laws and that the U.S. has ‘open borders’ are now saying we need to change our border policies to deport children and families without delay.
“You cannot have it both ways,” Gutierrez continued. “If we had a legal and orderly process for immigration in place, we would have better control over the current situation.”
In Washington next week, there’s no telling what, if anything, the House GOP will do to address the issue head-on.
The first order of business could be a review of the president’s request for emergency funding, a task falling to appropriators but also likely to fall to Granger’s working group (though Granger is, incidentally, the chairwoman of the subcommittee on state and foreign operations).
As for whether leadership might bring up specific legislation, Farenthold predicted that could depend on how the fact-finding visit and field hearing proceed on Wednesday and Thursday.
“Speaker Boehner was very insistent that we have this Homeland Security field hearing down here,” Farenthold told CQ Roll Call. “He basically told [Homeland Security Chairman Michael] McCaul, ‘You really need to do this.’ So I think it indicates that he gets the facts and understands the problem.”

Hey, maybe removing the word ‘alien’ from ICE lexicon for young illegals will solve the influx problem

Progressive Crisis Management 101: Simply change or eliminate an undesirable-but-accurate description what’s going, and problem solved!
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) personnel have been directed to no longer refer to illegal immigrant children crossing the border alone as “UACs” (unaccompanied alien children).Instead these individuals are to be referred to as “unaccompanied children” in official correspondence, according to an internal ICE email obtained by the Center for Immigration Studies and shared with Breitbart News.“This was briefed earlier today during he (sic) command and staff meeting,” an email sent to ICE personnel reads. “It has been requested that in correspondence regarding unaccompanied children, They (sic) not be referred to as UACs. The term UAC should not be used in official correspondence.”The email, with the subject line “UACs,” continues, “The appropriate messaging on documents should be using the term : unaccompanied children all lower case. (Unless capitalizing would be grammatically correct).”
Full story here.
NBC’s already tried to help in the re-labeling effort by referring to the illegals as — get this — “#RefugeeRiders.”
If that doesn’t solve the problem, the “unaccompanied alien children” will then be referred to as “legal American citizens” according to documents I obtained from sources at “The Department of What We All Know They’re Gonna Try to Do Next.”
President Obama is headed down to Texas soon to take matters into his own hands. And by “matters” I mean “fundraisers,” of course:
Jay Carney’s more than capable replacement behind the Podium of Untruth in the press briefing room explained it this way:
But despite being battered on all sides on the issue, a White House spokesman said Thursday that the president had no intention of visiting the border for a firsthand look at the scene of what he has called a humanitarian crisis.“The reason that some people are suggesting the president should go to border when he’s in Texas is because they’d rather play politics than actually trying to address some of these challenges,” Josh Earnest, the White House spokesman, said Thursday.
In other words, “don’t play politics with the president while he’s headlining DNC fundraisers!”
When does a president not visit the site of what the White House has referred to as a “humanitarian crisis” in his own country? When it would be a damaging photo op. But if the administration can figure out a way to pin it all on global warming, Obama, accompanied by Bill Nye the Science Guy, will be there within hours.

Border Patrol Agent Apparently Defies Gag Order to Go Unfiltered on CNN – Hear His Big Claim About Obama Admin.
Border Patrol agent Hector Garcia on Thursday accused the Obama administration of “aiding, abetting and facilitating the smuggling of illegal aliens across the border.”
In an interview with CNN, Garza said the current influx of illegal immigrants is “organized” and “orchestrated” by the drug cartels. Additionally, he said the federal government is giving illegal immigrants a “free pass.” He said the feds are using the equivalent of the honor system in asking illegal immigrants to later report to an immigration hearing — even though the majority of them will never do so.
CNN
With resources being diverted to process illegals, the crisis then allows drug cartels to sneak illegal drugs and weapons across the U.S. border undetected, he explained.
Garza later argued that U.S. taxpayers are going to be on the hook to provide for the immigrant families.
“How do you expect a mother from Honduras that is crossing the country with 3 to 5 children, and they’re all young-aged children, how do you expect for that mother who comes to this country to actually begin working?” he asked.
He continued: “This illegal alien who comes to this country with 3 to 5 kids is gonna depend on our welfare system, on government assistance. And you know what? That is costing the taxpayer a lot of money.”
Watch the segment via CNN:
CNN contributor Ruben Navarrette questioned why the Border Patrol agent was even on the network discussing the border crisis after a gag order was reportedly placed on agents.
“Given the fact that there’s a gag order on Border Patrol agents in Texas, I’m surprised he’s even on this show saying these things if he’s with the border patrol at all,” Navarrette said.
Garza did not address the alleged gag order.
Ira Mehlman, of the Federation for American Immigration Reform, also recently said that the Obama administration has issued a gag order for Border Patrol agents.

THE REPORT FROM WASHINGTON
OBAMA'S USE OF CONTROLLED CHAOS
Exclusive: Ellis Washington sees president waging coup d'e`tat against his own country

Men are so simple and so much inclined to obey immediate needs that a deceiver will never lack victims for his deceptions.~ Machiavelli
In the 1998 movie “Enemy of the State,” Robert Clayton Dean (Will Smith) and “Brill” (Gene Hackman) have their lives turned upside down by excessive surveillance activity from a sinister top NSA official, Thomas Reynolds (Jon Voight). Reynolds and a rogue group of NSA agents killed a congressman in a political-related murder, which was caught on tape, and for the rest of the movie they try to cover up the murder through deceit, misdirection and chaos theory – destroying evidence and intimidating witnesses, including Dean and Brill.
In a climactic scene between Dean and Brill, the tables are turned when Brill, a former career NSA agent himself who became “rogue” when his best friend was killed 18 years ago (the result of a covert mission overseas gone bad), decides to team up with Dean, a labor lawyer who stumbled upon the congressman’s murder by accident. He teaches his young protégé the rudiments of war strategy reminiscent of the military and political classics – Sun Tzu’s “The Art of War,” Machiavelli’s “The Prince,” Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals” and chaos theory.
Here is an excerpt from the movie:
Brill: In guerrilla warfare, you try to use your weaknesses as strengths. (Here Brill shows Dean several listening devises NSA agents had planted on him, which up to that point allowed them to make his life a living hell.)Dean: Such as?Brill: Well, if they’re big and you’re small, then you’re mobile and they’re slow. You’re hidden and they’re exposed. Only fight battles you know you can win. That’s the way the Vietcong did it. You capture their weapons and you use them against them the next time.
That scene from a popular movie 11 years ago reminds me of the Machiavellian tactics President Obama and his advisers are using today. These people, most of them Ivy-League graduates and diehard socialists, are very intelligent people. They realize that their policy remedies to fix the economy have no historical or rational basis and are only causing more economic uncertainty and chaos on Wall Street and on economic indicators throughout the world.
Therefore, the salient question becomes: Why is the Obama administration causing such chaos against his own nation, his own people who just elected him as the first black man to serve as president of United States?
It’s chaos theory.
In 1890, Henri Poincare, a French mathematician, physicist and philosopher of science, was the first discoverer of chaos theory. He applied it to mathematics and described this new phenomenon in this manner:
Chaos theory – the behavior of certain dynamical systems – that is, systems whose states evolve with time – that may exhibit dynamics that are highly sensitive to initial conditions (popularly referred to as the butterfly effect). As a result of this sensitivity, which manifests itself as an exponential growth of perturbations in the initial conditions, the behavior of chaotic systems appears to be random. This happens even though these systems are deterministic, meaning that their future dynamics are fully defined by their initial conditions, with no random elements involved. This behavior is known as deterministic chaos, or simply chaos.
Applied to politics, chaos theory is reminiscent of several derivative military, political and philosophy treatises of the past, including “The Art of War” (circa 500 B.C.) – All war is deception; victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win; “The Prince” (1513) – Politics have no relation to morals; the end justifies the means; and “Rules for Radicals” (1971) – Rule No. 13, Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it and polarize it.
Obama is a master at using his enemies’ strengths (Christianity, free-market capitalism, Reagan conservatism) as a weakness (moral and economic collapse, multi-billion dollar bailouts, George W. Bush). Obama, along with his socialists and fascist minions, believes the best way to dominate a society is by always having a certain degree of controlled (“determined”) chaos to supply the means to achieve their long-term ends of womb-to-tomb socialist controls over the people.
The president has masterfully manipulated chaos theory to exacerbate existing societal problems by acting like he is somehow above it all or disassociated from the plethora of existing problems. (“I inherited this economy” and “not on my watch” are favorite Obama mantras.) Furthermore, Obama has purposely refrained from seriously focusing on fixing these pressing problems facing America, whether it’s the economy, Wall Street, the home mortgage industry, the auto industry, the multi-trillion dollar debt we have with China, or the numerous geopolitical catastrophes across the world.
In “Enemy of the State,” Brill’s dialogue with Dean concluded, “You grow stronger as they grow weaker. Learn to use your enemy’s own weapons against him.” Obama and his minions have been taught by radical professors at the Ivy-League schools they attended to utterly hate America and all of her wonderful attributes like Natural Law, Christianity, liberty, integration of law and morality, free markets, the Bible, the Constitution, separation of powers, federalism – qualities that made America the greatest nation in this history of the world in less than 200 years. Instead, we are literally watching the Obama administration wage a coup d’état against his own country and wage a full frontal assault against her most sacred and vested interests.
I truly believe that Obama and the radicals in his administration will stop at nothing to achieve their nefarious ends, because they have the one characteristic conservatives and Republicans with all their God talk and reliance on the Constitution’s framers could never champion … self-righteousness.
Using pride, arrogance and self-righteousness combined with the political and legal application of chaos theory, the Obama administration should collapse upon the vanity of its own failed ideas, but for the media and our own self-delusion as products of the Stalinist public schools. The result? In the manner that Obama’s mentor, FDR, used the Great Depression as a pretext for the New Deal, Obama will likewise exploit societal instability, the collapse of Wall Street and the brink of a worldwide great depression, which under chaos theory is determinism and chaos, as a means to achieve his diabolical ends of transforming America from the USA to the USSA (the United Socialist States of America).
Obama’s tactics are not new. As I delineated above, they have precedence in Sun Tzu, Machiavelli, Alinsky and chaos theory. President Obama, the prep school/Ivy-League/ community organizer, is banking on the fact that as a public school educated citizen you have never read any of those authors and theories. If that is so, please rent the movie, “Enemy of the State” to understand that your precious natural rights are virtually extinct, and let’s turn chaos theory against the Obama administration instead of being unwitting victims of his vast, Machiavellian conspiracy where in the name of affirmative action, bipartisanship and civility We the People have become willing accomplices to our own demise.
May God forbid.
