Border Agents confronted a CBP Chief Raul Ortiz over the open border policies they're being required to follow under the illegitimate individual's regime.
Many say they support the agents, well speak for yourselves because they A R E willfully obeying orders that A R E violations of federal immigration laws! They are putting their job/title and pension ahead of country and oath.. "just following orders". In other words the agents are breaking the law as much as their superiors! Surely govt agents have something similar to the military's Code of Conduct where they are justified refusing to follow unlawful orders!?
Chief Ortiz is garbage, making excuses with this bogus pep rally, while a bona fide criminal (DHS Sec Mayorkas) stands behind him. For those unaware Mayorkas stated ‘unlawful presence in the United States will alone not be a basis for an immigration enforcement action,’
...aka illegals entering the country which is a crime under 8 US Code § 1325. Improper entry by alien. He is in fact admitting under this admin DHS/Border Patrol is brining in, aiding and harboring illegal aliens ALL are FEDERAL CRIMES
Somebody, somewhere, somehow has to find a way to arrest govt officials like Mayorkas, any border chief enforcing his orders etc. Until people are arrested and prosecuted for blatantly violating immigration laws this invasion will NEVER stop.
Someone within DHS leaked documents showing the illegitimate regime released at least 70,000 illegal aliens, NOT "migrants", into the US since August 2021 (31,977 were paroled, that actually gives them temporary legal status + 39,630 who were released on their own recognizance). But wait it gets better, another 94,570 NTR's (Notice to Report) have been cut loose since March!!
Additionally, the documents show that on a single day in Del Rio sector, (September 28th), 128 single adult illegal immigrants were released from Border Patrol custody *without* ATD (alternatives to detention), which include tracking mechanisms like ankle monitors. @FoxNewspic.twitter.com/VACLjyefqv
DHS declined to give us a formal comment or response, instead referring us to CBP. A CBP official did not dispute the numbers, and gave us this statement. Nobody answered my question as to why so many paroles are being granted, or why single adults are being released w/ no ATD. pic.twitter.com/5kgTm1RyOM
Lying regime members (Psaki, Mayorkas etc) have repeatedly gone on record this was not the case, that many "migrants" were being turned away or deported, but the numbers don't lie nor do the men and women in DHS who HATE what these progressive monsters are doing to this country.
Those involved, including the fool occupying the oval office, are breaking multiple federal laws! It's too bad we have NO ONE willing to do what's necessary, start arresting individual high up in govt to stop this.
Progressives are hell-bent to wreck this country, collapsing all its systems with illegal immigration as the driving force, because they THINK when the dust settles they'll be standing tall to "build back better" under their socialist/marxist dream with 100% of your support.
It's been a while since we've heard from this monster but when Maxine Watters opens her big mouth she's always telling lies, looking for any opportunity to pull the race card.
The images of Border Patrol agents on horseback "using whips," actually their reigns, to deal with illegal aliens violating America's sovereignty and federal law has all been debunked, but this monster chose to continue the narrative suggesting it was "worse than what we witnessed in slavery," and Trump's fault!!
First off, Donald Trump is NOT President anymore, the old guy has been in power. You know the old guy who had a record number of Executive Orders to overturn most of Trump's policies including keeping the border secure. So for this monster to blame Trump is pathetic, and proof of how badly she's still suffering from TDS.
Slaves were beaten, whipped so badly they were left with terrible scars and other atrocities. NONE of that happened at the border. There were no whips present but she doesn't care she wants to enrage Leftists and make what's going on at the border about race. Watch you'll see, they'll all be saying the only reason Haitians, Mexicans, Cubans, and all the others from 140 countries aren't being welcomes is because America is racist. They'll demand these people have entry regardless of the damage they're causing, threats to national security and a public health threat!
It's all about turning America into California so dems across the country can stay in power indefinitely like Wiggy Waters is in CA!
They're never gonna stop until the People rise up... What are you prepared to do?
The lawlessness taking place across the country by defiant democrat "leaders" VIOLATING federal immigration laws by operating ILLEGAL Sanctuary Cities must be stopped. Maybe someday when this country has an Attorney General with a pair of balls we'll see the rule of law (democrats claim they support) restored once and for all.
If you are a Leftist/ democrat or NeverTrump type who supports open borders, lax immigration policies, Sanctuary Cities/ States Daria Ortiz is just one of countless faces affected by the lawlessness you support. 92yo Maria Fuertes, Ortiz's grandmother, was raped and murdered by an illegal alien and her blood IS ON your hands.
"ICE revealed it had filed a detainer for Khan [illegal alien who killed Fuertes] in November 2019, when he had been arrested on assault and weapons charges. But crucially, that detainer was ignored and Khan was released onto the streets." ~FN
“The tragedy and all of this is the fact that this could have been avoided had there been no sanctuary law. The tragedy is my grandma's not ever gonna be here again. The man that is responsible for this should have never had the opportunity to do this, had his multiple offenses not been ignored. The system not only failed our family but it failed our city.” If democrats win this Nov stories like Maria Fuentes will be a common occurrence as ALL democrat presidential candidates support an open border and Sanctuary City policy. They care more about illegal aliens (incl criminals like Khan) than they do about US citizens.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez took to Instagram Stories (live video session from her home that went viral), telling her followers that the US govt "is running concentration camps on our southern border".
This administration has established concentration camps on the southern border of the United States for immigrants, where they are being brutalized with dehumanizing conditions and dying.
The new leader of the socialist party (formerly democrat party) defended her statement in DC claiming the detention centers along the southern border fit the definition of concentration camps, continuing on attacking POTUS and US immigration policies.
First things first, illegal aliens have no right to be in the US, and they came here by choice. There is and was never a gun to anyone's head to enter the US illegally..
AOC's claim is a stunt to sway voters using the most heinous acts committed against humanity to trash and attack the President as well as the GOP and their supporters, staying right in-line with the Left's narratives the Right are "nazis".
While the detention centers MAY appear like concentration camps because their inundated with illegal aliens who are OVERWHELMING THE SYSTEM the people are being treated far better than anyone was treated in a WW2 concentration camp. No one is being marched out of trains to the showers to be gassed. Illegals are not having their heads shaved, forced to wear prison uniforms, perform slave labor, being beaten for thrills of their guards. There are no illegal aliens being executed because they looked the wrong way, were in the wrong place at the wrong time, or because someone was having a bad day.
Illegal alien children are being cared for, where Border Agents are acting more like nannies feeding and changing diapers rather than securing our border. Education, food, medical care, clothing, a roof over their head etc are being provided for illegals where as homeless US CITIZENS (incl veterans) live on the streets with none of the benefits illegals are being given at US taxpayers EXPENSE!!
This CHILD serving in the US Congress has no idea what she is talking about. Frankly she epitomizes everything that is wrong the education system, from kindergarten thru college. AOC knows all she has to do is keep telling the lies, make the comparisons to the nazis, because the mindless Left is buying every word.
Alexandra you go right on running your mouth. The blade on that shovel of yours shows no signs of getting dull.
THIS IS THE DEMOCRAT PARTY America. You have 503 days to decide which way you want this country to go: either support Donald Trump and SEND HIM REINFORCEMENTS IN CONGRESS to set this country right OR whine and complain about the Left but sit back come election day allowing the dems to take control of both Houses and possibly the White House where this little monster from New York, and the others like her, will be emboldened to finish what obama started.
The invasion of America continues and grows with nothing to stop it in sight. How many people live in your community? Look it up, bring it up on a map and drive around, because the number of illegals who crossed the border in April alone is the size of a town! Can your community handle double the number of people? Can it sustain half? Are there enough resources, money and space for these people who offer absolutely nothing to this country? Word is out to illegals all they have to do is cross over with child in-tow, (they're now renting kids from the cartels) and they get to stay here because of our poor immigration laws.
There is only so much Pres Trump can do on his own to curb the infiltration along the southern border. The Border Patrol is overwhelmed, by design of course by the Left, where agents are being pulled to act as babysitters. Facilities are maxed out, resources are running out.
This invasion and abuse of children being used to stay in the US is on Congress, ALL of them! Neither side wants to do anything about the border, they just run to the cameras to politicize it, telling their supporters what they want to hear, while they bash each other. Congress again is at the root of another problem in America. We need to organize and march on DC demanding they stop politicizing this invasion and to take action. Far too many are shrugging their shoulders or encouraging challenges to Trump immigration policy go to a federal court run by radical judges. Voters, Left and Right, need to stop supporting and voting for the same people to serve in DC. We need new leadership who will work with Trump to put America first.
In March alone the Border Patrol expects to apprehend 100,000 illegal aliens, enough to fill a sports stadium. By years end that number could well be the equivalent of 12 stadiums or those in the political world an entire voting district every year!
Anyone who says there is not a crisis on the southern border is not only lying but complicit with the systematic destruction of the USA. We cannot handle the influx of uneducated, unskilled "migrants", as dems like to put it. These people take from the system and do not give back, plus they REFUSE to assimilate to American culture. Yes, we blame Congress, Sanctuary Cities/States for this mess, but also those companies (incl Chamber of Commerce) who are magnets for illegal aliens. "Pres 1 for English", signage and documents in other languages are a problem and indicators of businesses and govt entities in fact assimilating to foreign invaders!
The border wall must be built, and NO progressives we do not need "comprehensive immigration reform". We simply need the laws on the books enforced, like 8 U.S.C. § 1324a 9 - Unlawful Employment of Aliens which clearly states it's a FEDERAL FELONY to hire illegal aliens.
Surely by now you've heard the rage mob of the left going ballistic over video of a US Border Patrol agents dumping water left for illegal aliens to drink as they cross the desert into the US, pushed hard by MSNBC's Joy Reid. What you're not being told is this video footage is OLD, shot between Jan 2011 to Feb 2017 when obama was president and only a few weeks into Trump's presidency.
MSNBC conveniently edited out the time stamps from Tucson, AZ based humanitarian-aid and migrant-advocacy group No More Deaths', video titled Footage of Border Patrol Vandalism of Humanitarian Aid, 2010-2017. Trump had only been POTUS since Jan 2017 when the latter footage was shot, but clearly this BP policy of dumping water was in place BEFORE he took office.
This group leaving the water and supplies are breaking US immigration law aiding and assisting illegal aliens. Believe it or not, what the BP is doing is actually for the illegals on good because if the BP can find those jugs of water this easily so can those with evil intentions, capable of poisoning the water! That is most likely the main reason why the water is being dumped out, to avoid illegals from being poisoned. But you won't hear Reid or anyone making this case because it sounds so absurd, "who would do such a thing", it's easier to attack racist, bigot Pres Trump that he just wants these people to die of dehydration than be in the US.
This is a classic example of fake news no one in the media is issuing a correction on, because they're all in on it. Again, this was taking place when obama was in power but not one of these vids saw the light on day in social media or on tv, it's only now under Trump the left cares.
Words matter. That lengthy header is the truth of a story that has spread like wildfire on social media and of course network news. The left as usual has crafted propaganda to push the narrative that this poor girl, Jakelin Caal Maquin from Guatemala, fell ill AFTER being under Border Patrol custody, and then sadly dying from severe dehydration.
Spot-on questions from @KatyTurNBC about Jackeline Caal, the 7 year old girl who died in Border Patrol custody:
➡️ Doesn't the U.S. have a responsibility to care for the health of *any* child in its custody?
➡️ Couldn't a helicopter have arrived to save Jackeline's life? pic.twitter.com/BA62u29iTr
Ohio Gov. John Kasich on the 7-year-old Guatemalan girl who died in US Border Patrol custody: "The answer is not just 'don't come' ... Shame on the Congress" https://t.co/FUqtMIjwYPpic.twitter.com/opbfmlI4FU
The truth of the matter is Jakelin's parents made the decision to be pawns of open borders activists where her father hauled her over 2K miles unprepared! By the time the Jakelin and her father reached the US-Mexico border she was severely dehydrated. After illegally entering the US in a remote area the two, along with 160 others, were apprehended by US Border Agents. While in custody, for approx 8 hours at a facility not staffed with medical personnel, Border Agents were alerted of Jakelin's condition around 5 am and she was given medical attention at 6:30am and then airlifted to medical facility, but attempts to save her failed. What's key to understand here is you don't die from being dehydrated for a few hours. It takes days to die from dehydration, approx 5-8 depending on the situation. If anyone is to blame it is her father for dragging her across the desert unprepared.
That is the gist of it, but do you hear that from Hillary Clinton, Rep Joe Kennedy, Alyssa Milano and the never-ending conga-line of leftists politicizing her death?
There are no words to capture the horror of a seven-year-old girl dying of dehydration in U.S. custody. What’s happening at our borders is a humanitarian crisis. https://t.co/8KZeynGjIv
What this girl + her father must have survived to reach our shores. The things he must have told her in the darkest moments — about a country worth the journey, a place where the suffering would stop. Instead, this. Devastating. https://t.co/ggbt0pNjiS
A White House official said that the Trump administration was not responsible for the death of a 7-year-old Guatemalan girl who died from dehydration last week while in the custody of the Border Patrol'
NO. What you're hearing instead is about the "humanitarian crisis" on the border and how "we must do something". The left blames the Border Patrol and Pres Trump for the crisis and Jakelin's death, but they weren't the ones who told her father to drag her 2K miles from Guatemala. They're not responsible for her father being unprepared to care for his own child. They DID NOT create a humanitarian crisis, where children and adults are getting severely ill from lack of food and water.
The truth of the matter is Clinton, Kennedy, Milano, and the rest of the open borders activists created this problem. They want bodies found in the desert, floating in the Rio Grande and most definitely under US custody. They want that shock value to attack Pres Trump, the GOP, their supporters to advance their agenda for amnesty, an open border, stopping the construction of the border wall which results in votes for democrats, because they equal money, power, and control over all of us!
You'll never see any of these bleeding heart liberals cross the border bringing food and water to the migrants begging them to not make the dangerous journey across the border. You'll never see any of them offering to house illegal aliens in their own homes, feeding, clothing, providing medical care, educating and spending money. They are hypocrites of the highest order, pro-illegal immigration so long as they don't have to spend a dime of their own money or have anyone setting up camp in their yards!
The caravan that would never get here, was just a political stunt is here as the first wave of "migrants" arrived in Tijuana. The future undocumented democrat party voters headed right to and climbed the border fence, at the International Friendship Park San Diego, to taunt the Border Patrol. It should be noted the majority of these "migrants" (apprx 90%+) are all men, unlike the leftist media claiming it was mostly women and children.
These are not asylum seekers because if they were they would have taken the Mexican govt's offer, that included jobs, food, shelter and education. These "migrants" think the American people are waiting with open arms while we still have a serious homeless problem especially among our veterans. We need to take care of our own, start enforcing the immigration laws on the books and STOP pandering to foreigners which only creates a magnet for these people to come to American REFUSING to assimilate!
To Shepard Smith and the rest of the corrupt leftist media, this is not a joke, or a stunt. Your precious "migrants" are here and the question this site has, that EVERY single sane American should be asking bleeding heart liberals is this:
How many of these migrants/ illegal aliens you want the border left open to, are YOU going to put up in your own home? Hm!? How many of these poor unfortunate people, who are NOT the best coming from their nation of origin, will you be putting a roof over their head, feeding, clothing, educating, giving spending money and providing free healthcare BEFORE YOU ASK THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TO DO SO!?
Until Smith, ALL of CNN, MSNBC, Hollywood et al answer these questions NOT ONE American should be expected to give in to this coming invasion and just accept it. Leftists want America's border open and want to allow people we have no idea who they are to set up camp in our "yard"! Isn't that just like the left, they demand something but it never applies to them!?
The buses funded by God only knows who continue to arrive, there will soon be conflict on our border. Patriotic Americans need to stand firm against this invasion and not give in to the pressure from the hate and divisive rhetoric the left will use to shame us as well as our troops and border agents. We cannot give an inch on this as it will set a dangerous precedent.
Thank you Art Del Cueto, Border Patrol Council VP, for saying what so many in the media and politics are afraid to say about this "migrant caravan", conveniently organized weeks before the most important midterm election, headed to the United States.
Those following this story closely already know this, but for Americans not paying close attention you need to take notice that the majority of "migrants" headed to the US are MEN.. young men of fighting age; very similar to what we saw happen with middle easterners trek to Europe. This "caravan" is composed mostly of men, who are allegedly escaping countries they deem are oppressive, yet these people are proudly waving said country's flag as they head to the USA!
Del Cueto makes this point twice in this clip, at the open and closes it out,"When you have that many individuals that are entering a country by force, waving the flag of the country that they are supposedly leaving because they're oppressed from, that is not a bunch of immigrants. That is not a caravan. That is not individuals that are truly seeking asylum. That is an invasion, and that's what we need to call it."
We need troops deployed to the border to stop this invasion, and no libs I don't care if it truly is a family of four trying to enter. They failed to seek asylum in Mexico, defied that country and now think they can come to the US!? Don't think so, and this patriot supports any action taken by Pres Trump to stop them.
We have no idea who any of these people are, again mostly men. Are the MS-13, Sinaloa, Medellin, Gulf, Los Zetas cartel members? How about al Qaida, Hamas or ISIS fighters? Because you do know middle easterners blend in perfectly with latins! Are the few children traveling with these people really their kids or are they part of a human trafficking organization? Again we have no idea, so this invasion must be stopped even if that means this American and many like him have to line up at that border shoulder to should with our troops and border patrol!
The Left is in an uproar following DHS Sec Nielsen's announcement that the National Guard would be deployed to the border. The Guard will act in the same capacity supporting the Border Patrol in securing the US border as they did when fmr Pres' obama and George W Bush deployed them.
Now that Pres Trump has signed the order to put the guard on the border Democrats, Establishment republicans and NeverTrumpers are claiming it is a waste of money and resources. Keep in mind the same people complaining now didn't object when their "guy" did it. It's really of no surprise that the same people against securing schools are the same ones against securing the border. They talk a good game but choose to do nothing for political expediency. Take note of leaders rejecting this action by Trump, they are the people who need to be voted out of office.
Border Patrol Council Pres, Brandon Judd, gave testimony at the Homeland Security & Govt Affairs Cmte to make it clear had the border been secure the 14 yr old girl in Rockville MD wouldn't have been raped. Judd also warned anyone can breach the fencing that is currently in place, thus making the argument we need a more effective deterrent, aka WALL, in strategic locations!
One last thing must be made clear, Judd, Border Patrol and ICE agents DID NOT fail the American people. This girl's assault is the result of barack hussein obama's immigration policies being rammed down the Border Patrol/ ICE's throat to enforce... err not enforce. Obama is to as much to blame for that girl being raped as the school districts ridiculous policies, and of course the low-lifes who did it. Obama prevented the law from being enforced. For years he and the dem party more or less rang the bell for illegals to come to the US with all the freebies they were offering at taxpayers/ citizens expense.
Americans need to start pointing the finger at democrats for all the problems we're having with illegal aliens, it really is their fault!
The illegals spoken of and shown in this vid is just a minute fraction of those running loose on Americas streets, no thanks to feckless, incompetent progressive politicians and law enforcement officials. The left is now identifying these criminals as "unauthorized immigrants" or even "immigrants" now to create a narrative that the legitimate rounding up by ICE is driven by racism and bigotry. Before you take an uninformed side, you should listen to the people in the know, like this Border Agent.
Politicians, talking heads and pundits in favor of open borders, amnesty etc are either ill informed or deliberate wanting criminal illegal aliens to remain in the US. Neither should be holding a position of power as they pose a great danger to this country. This country will be given another test for 2018, it will be interesting to see how many stay in power or are thrown out.
Obama is trashing the country on his way out as his reign of power is coming to an end. If you are within distance of a Sanctuary City you are at risk of falling victim to these monsters obama has set loose. These cities are where most of these monsters are hiding or en route to.
There is no logical reason to not deport 820,000 criminal illegal aliens UNLESS you want to create chaos in the streets when Trump takes over. Democrats are doing everything in their power for the Pres-Elect to fail. What better way than to have criminal illegal aliens among us who will do God knows what when Trump re-empowers the Border Patrol and ICE! Remember these are the true bad apples whose countries of origin refuse to take back! Does anyone think they will go willingly when ICE comes along? Of course not, we will most likely have a shootout or two with the crap media salivating to demonize the admin.
I warned you all the democrats have been working hard to set up the GOP for a major fall, this could very well be the first of many things to come if it goes down bad.
Report: 820,000 criminal illegals, 84% with felonies, serious misdemeanors
Washington Examiner - Illegal immigrants with criminal records, the deportation priority of President-elect Trump, total at least 820,000, with most having felony and serious misdemeanor convictions, according to a new report.
'...the Border Patrol is dedicating a tremendous amount of resources taking those folks in processing them. At times we really a lot of resources are dedicated being professional childcare providers at this point.'
Obama has 50 days left in office to do as much damage as he can on his way out. What better way that to re-task our border agents to cater to illegal aliens vs protecting the nations borders! Your taxes dollars are hard at work America as US Border Patrol Chief Mark Morgan testified in front of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee that agents are busy catering to illegal aliens, buying baby wipes and checking the temperature of burritos they're serving!
'the supervisor in charge said, "Chief, we’re going to do whatever this country asks us to do, but I never thought in my 20 years that I would be, as part of procurement, ordering baby powder and baby wipes." Actually I just got from one sector where agents, one of their jobs, during the day is to actually make sure that the food, the burritos that were provided are being warmed properly'
What you have here is an act by the corrupt obama regime to put this nations security in jeopardy which is equivalent to taking a match to the country on their way out. The hearing is 2 hours long so this is just touching on the problems at the border where the Chief also noted that 63% of the apprehensions are OTM's. That means it's not just Mexicans coming across the border it's EVERYONE from everywhere flooding across the border. Agents cannot do the job the were hired to do because this administration has done nothing to stop it.
"...this is absolutely fascinating when we were down at the border shooting this last week, one immigrant told me that word is spreading in Mexico and Central America to get here now because of Donald Trump wins the word on the street down there is that the wall will go up things will be sealed off. So the smugglers are saying to get here now..."
The US has been immobilized by obama and democrats ringing the amnesty bell. There are more unaccompanied minors and OTM's (Other Than Mexican) crossing the border set to surpass levels from 2 years ago! How many of those OTM's are from the middle east? How many criminals and terrorists have infiltrated groups crossing over this administration is gladly allowing entry. Why is no one talking about how our Border Agents are wasting time changing diapers and serving illegals who should be put on a bus and sent back? Why is no one in DC calling Mexico out, with its harsh immigration policy, for turning a blind eye to these illegals entering their country to enter the US? This surge will continue as smugglers/ coyotes scare people to cross over the threat of a possible Trump administration where a wall would be built.
The imperial regime claims 80% of illegals crossing the border are captured but a report DHS was ordered not to release because its "not done" ;) ;) says only 50% of illegals are being apprehended. That means half of whatever number of illegals coming into the US you want to use are evading capture.
Americans don't care if the number of illegal crossings are down since 2005, they're still crossing over. Illegals mind you not only from Mexico, but Central and South America, Africa, the Middle East etc! Forget about the ones coming here to get work (take our jobs) and free stuff, how many illegals OTM's are criminals and terrorists? Those numbers are more concerning and this drop in crossings Fox reports tells people like yours truly the majority crossing are truly the ones we definitely do not want here.
An unsecure border means an unsecure nation. Don't be surprised after we get hit again it's determined the terrorists crossed the border.
Clearly the information being given to illegal aliens is by the defiant criminal obama admin following the judicial slap-down obama received for his lawlessness abuse of executive orders.
To those in the BP willfully engaging and enabling this lawless action you do know you're breaking the law? It is a federal crime (8 US Code 1327) to aid and abet illegal aliens!
Sadly in this Banana Republic we have NO ONE to enforce the laws against govt official who break them. Like Elizabeth MacDonald says "your tax dollars at work"!
Border Patrol's website offers advice on eluding ... Border Patrol FoxNews
Immigrants who want to enter the U.S. illegally can learn how and where to avoid the Border Patrol from an advisory on the agency's own website, which critics say is evidence of the Obama administration's "schizophrenic" approach to enforcement.
Safety and sanctuary can generally be found at schools, churches, hospitals and protests, where Customs and Border Protection agents are barred under a "sensitive locations policy" from carrying out their duty of enforcing border security. In fact, the agency’s website states that actions at such locations can only be undertaken in an emergency or with a supervisor’s approval.
“The policies are meant to ensure that ICE and CBP officers and agents exercise sound judgment when enforcing federal law at or focused on sensitive locations, to enhance the public understanding and trust, and to ensure that people seeking to participate in activities or utilize services provided at any sensitive location are free to do so, without fear or hesitation,” the government website states in both English and Spanish...more
The number of illegals crossing the border is skyrocketing on its way to surpass the numbers we saw in 2014. To make matters worse our tax dollars are being spent to aid and abet illegal alien children caught crossing the border to finish their illegal journey into the US by sending them to family and relatives within the US! As much as any of us hate our money being spent like this, spending that money to send them BACK to where they came from would be better spent.
Now these illegals are here, where they will take advantage of all the free stuff at our expense courtesy of the progressives (R's & D's) running DC. Free education, food, healthcare etc illegals will receive is not factored into this report so it's safe to assume the figure could very well be doubled!
ICE spends millions flying illegal immigrant children across US
FoxNews.com
The Obama administration has spent at least $18.5 million to fly “unaccompanied children” caught crossing into the country illegally to parents and relatives inside the United States, according to newly obtained figures.
The numbers, shared with FoxNews.com by the Senate subcommittee on immigration, were provided by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in response to questions from Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas.
The numbers shed light on the extent of a program that has drawn scrutiny not just from lawmakers but the federal courts, amid concerns the U.S. government is effectively aiding smugglers.
“This shows how fundamentally flawed our approach to immigration enforcement has been in the Obama administration,” a Senate aide who has seen the questions to and answers from ICE Director Sarah Saldana told FoxNews.com.
The administration, which continues to grapple with waves of Central American migrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border and has gone to great lengths to ensure the safety of minors,has defended the practice as appropriate.
But it comes with a cost.
The ICE figures show that from June 8, 2014 to Sept. 30, 2015, ICE spent $4.8 million on charter flights for the children (ICE could not provide figures before that period). From March 2009 to Sept. 30, 2015, ICE spent $13.7 million on commercial flights for unaccompanied minors utilizing funds appropriated to ICE. ...read more
