“We just heard stories of little boys and little girls forced by these drug dealers to cut off the fingers or cut off the ears of other little boys and girls in order to extort money from their families,” Cruz said.
“These children are told if you don’t cut off the fingers or ears of another child, you’ll be shot,” he said. “You can imagine your child going through the hell that these kids have gone through. … You can’t help but lift these kids up in prayer … [and want to] change the legal system that is encouraging what is happening here.”
“They charge a lot of money and families that aren’t able to pay, or continue the payments, or make the payments … are threatened,” Burgess said.
The flood of illegal-alien minors is being triggered by Obama’s recent renewal of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, Burgess said.

LOL Yes, I hear that a lot. Like it takes millions of illegals to do farm work. We actually have people who would do the job, but they aren't hired when they can get illegals to slave for them at substandard wages.
To qualify for H-2A nonimmigrant classification, the petitioner must:
Offer a job that is of a temporary or seasonal nature.
Demonstrate that there are not sufficient U.S. workers who are able, willing, qualified, and available to do the temporary work.
Show that the employment of H-2A workers will not adversely affect the wages and working conditions of similarly employed U.S. workers.
Generally, submit with the H-2A petition, a single valid temporary labor certification from the U.S. Department of Labor. (A limited exception to this requirement exists in certain “emergent circumstances.” See e.g., 8 CFR 214.2(h)(5)(x) for specific details.)
Either Americans are willing, or they already can LEGALLY hire immigrants. No need for illegals.
Note: As a refugee, you are required by law to apply for permanent resident status 1 year after being admitted to the United States. As an asylee, you are not required to apply for permanent resident status after being granted asylum for 1 year, although it may be in your best interest to do so.

Every pro amnesty person should be accountable for all these people. They have no problems with being invaded. Let them absorb the entire cost of caring for and feeding all these people, provide medical, homes, schooling, clothes, jobs, etc. I wonder how many would change their minds then?
Pelosi explained, “We are all Americans — north and south in this hemisphere,” and urged America to see this as not a crisis but an opportunity “to be helpful.” She also said she wished she could simply “take home” the thousands of children temporarily housed in the overburden facilities.
U.S. House of Representatives Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi says the influx of Central American immigrants along the border is not a crisis, but rather an “opportunity.”
