Americans are accustomed to seeing reports of refugees swamping the borders of countries abroad - Syrians fleeing to Turkey, Sudanese streaming to South Sudan. But they aren’t accustomed to seeing such flights of humanity on their doorstep.
The escalating numbers of young children arriving alone at the U.S. border with Mexico, many of them younger than 13, prompted the president to declare a humanitarian crisis on Monday.
Refugee carries a specific definition in immigration law as someone who has a founded fear of persecution based on race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership in a particular social group. Many of the kids would fit in the latter category, Young said.
Virginia Republican Rep. Bob Goodlatte, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, said the surge of children is an “administration-made disaster” and called for enforcement at the border and in the interior U.S.
Goodlatte said the administration is rubber stamping credible fear claims at the border. He has also said the administration's deferred deportations for DREAMers has encouraged an increase in border crossings.
“Word has gotten out around the world about President Obama’s lax immigration enforcement policies and it has encouraged more individuals to come to the United States illegally, many of whom are children,” Goodlatte said in a statement. He said he would hold a hearing on the issue.

What is the Mexican Government’s role in all this??
... “Who is trafficking these children?” ....
The US Chamber of Commerce.
Mexico probably provided transportation from their southern border to their northern border.
.... What is the Mexican Government’s role in all this?? ...
They endorse Amnesty. It frees up their schools, hospitals, and jails.
For real? The U.S. Chamber of Commerce? Why
The enemies we fought for a hundred years are running our government and ruling over us. This is why insane policies like this are encouraged. The sycophant media and Hollywood keep the majority of Americans in the dark and provide aid and comfort to the tyrants who tear our beautiful country apart day by day. When the revolution happens, the first people that need to go against the wall with a blindfold need to be “journalists”.
Obama
Noppers...no refugees involved...
just illegal alien parents from Mexico pushing their illegal alien kids across the border..
and Mexican illegal alien teenage juvenile delinquents busting into our country like they bust into a liquor store ..
just repeal all of the dream act nonsense and the number of kids will go down.
We are paying for this? Our tax dollars are being used for human trafficking of innocent children?
Of course. Obama just axed for more money to fund his future dreamer voters. This is being encouraged. You already guessed that.
Bingo!
Exactly.
Its not a refugee problem. And its not our problem. Its Mexico’s problem. Hand them back. Let the Mexicans figure it out.
Everyday the POtuS sticks his middle finger in America's face and the Republican Party blusters.
Do they not understand that the Republic teeters on the brink of the abyss?
Everyday, Obama reminds me of Hitler. Hitler was a drug-addled madman. Obama acts like a drug-addled madman.
“The MX “border childred” are a staged scam, perpetrated by the bleeding hearts.”
It is no accident that our media has been morphing the “illegal aliens” into “victims of human trafficking”, either; they tried to get a lot of mileage out of that during the Super Bowl (because northern NJ is filled with illegal aliens).
I don’t think the dwindling number of Anglo-Americans are buying it; the only people who support amnesty are those that haven;t had illegals transform their neighborhoods into Tijuana North.
Not out of the question at all.
