Plane-loads of children and single mothers are returned to Central America from overwhelmed New Mexico detention center
The U.S. deported Honduran children as young as 1-1/2 years old on Monday in the first flight since President Obama pledged to speed up the process of sending back illegal immigrant minors from Central America.
The Artesia Center was opened in barracks of the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center. It eventually will hold about 700 women and children.
Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson visited the facility in a visit that seemed crafted to show detainees that America is not the welcoming place they may have thought.
First wave of deportations begins amid immigration crisis:
Nubia, a 6-year-old girl among the deportees, said she left Honduras a month ago for a journey that ended when she and her mother were caught on the Mexico-Texas border two weeks later.
'Horrible, cold and tiring,' was how Nubia remembered the trip that was meant to unite the pair with her three uncles already living in the United States.
Instead, her mother Dalia paid $7,000 in vain to a coyote, or guide, to smuggle them both across the border.

Many people have been very vocal, saying we need to deport as many of these folks as we can. And now that it appears that is exactly what is happening, it's only for show or only because it's harder to get a Honduran the right to vote?
*facepalm*
I'm so sick of this issue.

It's pretty pathetic when you rejoice in the misfortune of children. Children fleeing violence and poverty, largely as the result of US 'intervention' over the last forty years.
www.prisonradio.org... has a short piece on the subject (audio - right pane top) called I heard this morning called "When Chrildren Are the Enemy"
Did you know, there was a bill introduced into congress called the Wagner-Rogers Bill to take in Jewish children during WWII - it was defeated.
Ugly American - Indeed.
Blown Back from around the world is coming.... better get your guns ready .... want to take out as many of them as you can before they get you. Because they will win.

Do you think the "money" part is suspicious ?
Where are these people getting $7000 a piece to "get over the border" ?
Who's behind the money ?
hmmm...maybe a round trip ticket from Uncle Obama?

Yeah it is pathetic.
So where is the faux outrage when it comes to American citizens that currently live in poverty in this country.
Like Chicago, and Detroit, and other progressive 'utopias' in this country.

There are groups funding relef.
My point here is not logistical - but MORAL. What happened to CHARITY? as in FAITH, HOPE and CHARITY the 'compassionate' conservatives in the 70's and 80's co=opted and changed the christian motto to FAITH, HOPE AND LOVE (don't do anything - Just luv them).

Or there's financing from NGOs like Soros etc. ?
And maybe pro-illegal-immigration groups ?
I doubt those "desolate" people aren't using their own money.
