White House Hides Data, Blames GOP, For Border Flood
Daily Caller ^ | 06/10/2014 | Neil Munro

A White House official said the GOP’s refusal to back the unpopular Democrat-drafted Senate immigration bill has caused the wave of young illegal immigrants that are sweeping over America’s border with Mexico.

The child migration is a symptom of the nation’s broken immigration system, the official said, and the responsibility for not fixing it “lies at the feet of the U.S. Congress,” the official said in a June 9 press call with reporters. The two White House officials on the call asked that they not be identified by name.

The administration’s secrecy is important, because officials have been trying to portray the inflow as a rush of innocent children fleeing persecution, gangs and brutal fathers, not a flood of low-skilled illegals across a porous border and into a new legal sanctuary created by Obama.

However, a second White House official on the call admitted that many illegal immigrants come across the border as families.

“We are also seeing large number of family units… mostly mothers with young children,” the official said. “They’re provided with food, they’re provided with water, for their journeys” north to meet with relatives already living in the United States, the official added.

Passage of the Senate’s immigration bill is the president’s top legislative priority, said the first White House official.

If made law, it would double the annual inflow of low-wage guest workers and new immigrants to roughly 4 million per year for a decade. That’s roughly equal to the number of Americans who turn 18 each year.

This would be akin to the Roman emperor helping Visigoth hordes cross the Danube frontier in 376 AD, which brought about the end of the western empire.

So if we passed this, they would have stayed in mexico? Im not seeing the logic here.

What kind of inhuman people are these Central Americans? They abandon their own children and force them to cross the desert with no food and water. If it wasn’t for the evil white gringos, these children would have been eaten by wolves.

I cannot see any logic either. I wish a reporter would ask them to explain it.

The Beast Trains

Riding 'The Beast' Across Mexico To The U.S. Border

There's a network of freight trains that runs the length of Mexico, from its southernmost
border with Guatemala north to the United States. In addition to grain, corn or scrap
metal, these trains are carrying an increasing number of undocumented immigrants whose
aim is to cross into the U.S.

And despite the many deadly challenges it poses, more and more children — both with
adults and alone — have been making the risky journey. That prompted President Obama this
week to warn of "an urgent humanitarian situation."

These aren't passenger trains; there are no panoramic windows, seats or even a roof
to guard from sun or rain. People call the train La Bestia, or The Beast. Some call it
the Death Train.
