a reply to: Stormdancer777 That is a figure that does not hold true for the majority of these people. The jet ski ride is a hundred dollers. most have made it over here from a place of no hope of a future for just a few hundred bucks.
The cartels charge $7,000 to $8,000 per child to take them across Mexico to the U.S. border. Do the math: moving 40,000 immigrant youth north nets them from $280 million to $320 million—in cash, and upfront. Why are they able to get so many youth north? They literally own vast sections of Mexico, and they have their own protected routes.www.americamagazine.org...

I take it that all you against these snot nosed kids and such do not believe in Jesus and his message. What will you do when the tables are turned and you are in need of help?

Because he's not loading them into buses and taking them to your house where you obviously want them all to live...
Jesus knows how I feel, he's just fine with it.

Follow the money...follow the "politicians" being put into high-powered and visable "positions"...this is planned.
Probably not much except be prepared to protect that which is ours.
I wish I could say that people ARE coming with "good intent" it used to be that way.
They wanted to work and learn the language and build a better lives for themselves and their families.
Now? They will steal and take, deface and abuse, spit in your face and call "foul" if you take them to task on it!
I propose the border be on lockdown...nothing gets in/out until this is resolved or at least until there is a viable plan in place.
It's not just about people...it's drugs...it's weapons...it's a nightmare of epic proportions.
MCALLEN, Texas—In one weekend, the U.S. Border Patrol prevented murder suspects, multiple sex offenders, and an MS-13 gang member from entering the interior of Texas after they illegally entered into the U.S. from Mexico. The arrests occurred in the Rio Grande Valley sector, ground zero of the current border crisis.
The murder suspect was caught approximately 85 miles from the border in Texas, near the town of Falfurrias. He is a Guatemalan who is wanted for alleged murder in the State of Florida.
Another of the arrests occurred near McAllen, Texas as a man from El Salvador who crossed the porous U.S.-Mexico border was determined to be an MS-13 gang member who had previously served ten years in prison for rape.
Another man who was caught is a convicted sex offender from El Salvador. A Mexican man was also caught and determined to be wanted for second-degree murder.
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency reports that 2014 has seen more than 40 previously convicted sex offenders who have been arrested attempting to illegally enter the Rio Grande Valley sector of Texas.www.nationalreview.com...
“I’ve heard people come in and say, ‘You’re going to let me go, just like you let my mother go, just like you let my sister go. You’re going to let me go as well, and the government’s going to take care of us,’” Cabrera says. “Until we start mandatory detentions, mandatory removals, I don’t think anything is going to change. As a matter of fact, I think it’s going to get worse.”
Art Del Cueto, president of the National Border Patrol Council Local 2544 in Tucson, says agents who recognize the gang-affiliated tattoos of minors crossing the border must treat them the same as anybody else. He says these people are afforded the same rights provided to anyone crossing the border. www.nationalreview.com...
