New data shows the White House has painted a false picture of the Central American migration by hiding a huge spike in “family units” who are illegally crossing the Texas border.
The data, which was dumped by the U.S. border patrol late Friday afternoon, shows that inflow of youths and children traveling without parents has doubled since 2013, to 57,525 in the nine months up to July 2014.
But the number of migrants who cross the border in so-called “family units” has spiked five-fold to 55,420, according to the border patrol’s data, which came out amid a storm of news about the shoot-down of a Malaysian aircraft in Ukraine, delays in failed U.S. nuke talks with Iran, and on Hamas’ continued war against Israel.
The Most Transparent Administration In History lying???
New data shows the White House has painted a false picture of the Central American migration by hiding a huge spike in “family units” who are illegally crossing the Texas border.
Juan Osuna, director of the executive office of immigration review at the Department of Justice, said that "we are facing the largest caseload that the agency has ever seen."
Osuna said that deportation cases involving families and unaccompanied children would be moved to the top of court dockets. That means lower priority cases will take even longer to wend through a system where there's a backlog of more than 360,000 pending deportation cases.
Obama's emergency spending request would add more judges, increase detention facilities, help care for the kids and pay for programs in Central America to try to keep them from coming.
One big mistake (planned) was Obama's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals that fueled the "Rumors" that were advertised, amplified, and accelerated by design.

Your compassion is duly noted. But I would ask whether any of them are entitled to due process of law. Do they deserve a hearing?
But to begin with, the current problems are the result of recent past errors.
Some planned IMO.
That's why the current Administration is hiding as many details as possible.

Kudos to a very compelling response, but I don't believe that you actually addressed my point. Are these people not entitled to due process of law? I am guessing that you agree with the Cornyn/Cuellar bill to speed up deportation. But that at least agrees with a minimal need for judicial review. Perhaps I can get you to say that jurisprudence prevents an automatic return to host countries without review. That would be progress (for ATS).
