Immigrant Surge Fueled by Rumors, Misinformation
Texas Tribune ^ | 6-27-2014 | Julián Aguilar

The undocumented immigrants flooding into Texas from Central America don’t often know terms like “deferred action” or “prosecutorial discretion,” White House policies that grant relief from deportation and a possible work permit.

But some are still basing their decisions to leave their home countries on misinformation — a rumor that they'll be allowed to live here legally.

They're getting a big wakeup call upon their release from U.S. detention centers into short-term, border-area shelters. The Obama administration has pledged to send as many of them back home as it can.

“It just doesn’t seem fair. It’s not just,” said Karla Lara, 27, who paid $6,000 for a guide to take her and her 5-year-old daughter from their home in Honduras up through Mexico and across the Rio Grande into Texas. “It could be fatal to send someone back.”

I'm betting Karla could have lived comfortably back home with her $6,000. Americans take vacations in Honduras - Can't she capitalize on that back home?

That’s weird. I thought it was a YouTube video that got the Al Raza invaders all riled up.

Those who probably really instigated the rumors would also probably enjoy having that 5-year-old as a slave after her arrival.

Who hates America enough to start a rumor like this but is influential enough that the rumor would be believed - and is evil enough to destroy the lives of wanna be illegals just for sport?

Since October, over 52,000 illegal immigrant children have been apprehended by Border Patrol agents. While all children face deportation, it will take years before any action will be taken since federal immigration courts face a backlog of more than 360,000 cases, the Associated Press reported.

Karla, kiss your new country with all its welfare bennies hello. You are in. All you will get is a ticket to appear in court in a few years, which you can ignore. You will also get a filled in form to register to vote as a RAT and a bus ticket to a state like AZ that the RATS are trying to take over.

Immigrant Surge Fueled by Rumors, Misinformation

Since rumors work so well among the peasants of Latin America, A serious rumor needs to be started that the border is now one giant minefield, with snipers as well.

WHO on Earth could've possibly ORGANZIED this in an attempt to pressure Congress to pass Amnesty.. No wait.. to give Obama a 'humanitarian emergency' requiring immediate action with a pen and a phone?

Hmmmmm, I wonder WHO...

Imagine a U.S. president conspiring to trigger an invasion by foreigners rather than working to PROTECT OUR NATION'S BORDERS FROM FOREIGN INVASION....

Hey Karla, throwing a U.S. Marine in prison simply for making a wrong turn “It just doesn’t seem fair. It’s not just,”..

As for the $6,000 she paid to get here. That's utter BS. Karla has probably never seen $6,000 in her entire life.
