Despite an overall drop in illegal immigration nationwide, there has been a huge spike in the number of undocumented immigrants found dead in the south Texas brush country this year, and a disturbing number of the illegals found dead and alive attempting to sneak into the U.S.in the past three months have been young people.
1200 WOAI news reports some who deal with illegal immigration blame the DREAM Act, and talk that young people in the United States illegally may receive legal residency or even a path to citizenship in a second Obama term.
“Ever since this dialogue from Washington began about the DREAM Act, and conversation about no internal enforcement, the numbers and the traffic has at least tripled,” said Mike Vickers, who operateS a thousand acre ranch in Brooks County, southwest of Corpus Christi.
Brooks County is a good barometer of illegal entry into the U.S., because the main Border Patrol station on US Highway 281, the main route north from the Rio Grande Valley into the United States, is in Falfurrias, and many immigrant smugglers head off the road and attempt to cross through the rugged brush country to avoid the checkpoint.
“The number of juveniles apprehended here were over fifty, approaching sixty, just in the month of August,” Vickers said.
The beefing up of main border crossings as the U.S. increases the size of the Border Patrol around main entry points has pushed the illegal immigrant flow to more rural, and out of the way locations, officials say. And more and more illegals are coming into the U.S. through immigrant smuggling rings, which Vickers says are a lot more likely to simply abandon the illegals when trouble looms.
“To them these people are just cargo,” he said.
One border security official who asked not to be identified told 1200 WOAI news that he has talked with many of the young illegal immigrants who have been detained, and he confirms Vickers’ statement.
“These young people have been told that if they just get into the United States, President Obama will grant them legal status,” he said, pointing out that the immigrant smuggling gangs in Mexico, which are often wings of infamous drug cartels like Los Zetas, are spreading that claim to try to convince young people to pay them between $2,000 and $7,000 per person to smuggle them into the U.S.
Border Patrol figures confirm that the number of illegal immigrants found dead in south Texas was up 200% in the federal fiscal year that ended August 31. 107 people have been found dead in Brooks County alone in the past year, and Vickers says that doesn’t include what he suspects are many people whose bodies have never been found in the remote ranch country.
The Obama Administration has approved what is called the ‘deferred action initiative,’ where young illegal immigrants who meet certain qualifications are being allowed to live and work in the U.S. for two years without fear of deportation. There is a widespread belief that if President Obama is re-elected next month, he will expand that program and possibly use his executive power to implement the DREAM Act, which is a key priority of Democrat Latino groups and which would provide a ‘path to citizenship’ for young illegals.
But Vickers sees the dark side of the DREAM Act every day on his ranch, and he says the dream of legalization and possibly U.S. citizenship will continue to attract young immigrants.
“I myself have found a number of children out there,” he said. “Most recently, I found a 10 year old girl and a 12 year old girl who had been left behind by immigrant smugglers,” he said.
Vickers says there is no doubt in his mind why these young people are risking their lives to sneak into the United State.
“I think the Obama Administration has blood on it’s hands,” he said.
Been sayin’.
You have the build the wall first, or the illegals are going swarm the border looking for amnesty and free stuff.
So does Bush and Perry. Hispandering kills.
They make this sound like a recent development when in fact it has been the main problem for the last 25 years, at least. AZ, NM, and TX have all suffered from illegal crossings between Ports of Entry.

No doubt.
And you get more of what you reward.
Romney wont touch immigration unless asked and then he will try to dodge it.
You see this shot across the bow by the Jewish Council for Education and Research ?
I always thought Perez was annoying and she is really annoying in this. Who decided that she can act?
” Who decided that she can act? “
1) ROSIE
2) WHOEVER SHE SLEPT WITH TO GET AN ACTING JOB.
Born in NYC to Puerto Rican parents.
From wika
Pérez was first noticed in a dance club by Spike Lee in 1988, who hired her for her first major acting role in Do the Right Thing.[5] Pérez started her career in the late 1980s as a dancer on Soul Train and later choreographed music videos by Janet Jackson, Bobby Brown, Diana Ross, LL Cool J and The Boys.[citation needed] She was the choreographer for the dancing group the Fly Girls who were featured on the Fox television comedy program In Living Color.
Man what a treasure.
Rosie Perez was injured in 2009 while filming an episode of Law & Order SVU. Her neck was injured when she was forcibly shaken as part of a scene. She had spinal disc herniation in her neck and underwent surgery for the condition. A year after the accident, she appeared at the White House in a wheelchair and wearing a neck brace for a meeting with President Obama.[8] In May 2011, Perez filed a lawsuit against the producers of the show, claiming that the injury she incurred was the result of being "recklessly pulled, grabbed, yanked, wrenched and manhandled" during filming.[9]
