Surge in Child Migrants Reaches New York, Overwhelming Advocates
New York Times ^ | June 17, 2014 | By Kirk Semple

... But while the government’s response has been largely focused on the southwest, the surge of child migrants is quickly becoming a crisis around the country. The fallout is being felt most acutely in places with large immigrant populations, like New York, where newly arrived children and their relatives are flooding community groups, seeking help in fighting deportation orders, getting health care, dealing with the psychological traumas of migration, managing the challenges of family reunification and enrolling in school.

“It’s almost like a refugee crisis,” said Steven Choi, executive director of the New York Immigration Coalition, an advocacy group.

Federal officials will not reveal how many children they are holding, how many are being released or where they are being sent. But in the New York region, immigrant advocacy organizations say they have seen a stunning rise in the number of unaccompanied minors seeking help in the past several months.

“All of a sudden it went from a trickle to more like a river,” said Anne Pilsbury, director of Central American Legal Assistance in Brooklyn.

The general store out here quit taking all EBT cards and food stamps the first day these “unaccompanied kids” were in the news-smart owners...

I agree and lol!

I'm just waiting for that shoe to drop - the formal status of “refugee” being bestowed on these invaders - not children - Invaders.

Texas should send every one of the new squatters to the east coast. We have put up with the federal government’s failure to police the border since the 1986 amnesty that was to control the border. That was a lie. It’s time other states carry the load.

Before Obama and the economic crash, there were some liberal idiots in the nearest city-SA-who came to this county and tried to talk some realtors and such into convincing customers to sell to and build for section 8 housing because-well, because even those on welfare deserve to live in the country, y’all.

It went absolutely nowhere, especially when one real-estate broker whose real job is being a rancher pointed out that to live away from cities and do well, people need certain self-reliability skills, and the ability to improvise because there is no mommy government to depend on for water, food, electricity, etc-and even 911 may be an hour away.

You can be poor as dirt here, and neighbors always help one another, but a clueless, government-dependent person is going to be shunned, Amish style. Needless to say, the thing was dropped, and we heard no more about it...

The dropping of that idea sounds like a blessing.

Believe me, it was-even the county commissioner who invited those people here to suggest that was voted out of office in a landslide.

newly arrived children and their relatives are flooding community groups

So is this whole "children" meme just a cover to mask a reality where thousands (?) of families have been afforded unlawful entry? If so, who gave the word to open the floodgates?

Refugee Crisis™. That’s it.

It’s orchestrated and it’s being supported by liberal churches, across the country.

Sorry I’m not in your little “click” of acronyms club. Your sarcasm is not welcome.

I wasn’t trying to be sarcastic. I was trying to answer your question.

It’s a theory that’s been studied, quite thoroughly, on many FR threads. You can enter Cloward Piven in a FR search and find out a lot about it. It’s worth a read, if you have the time.

It doesn’t require being in any sort of “club” to understand. Just basic reading comprehension and analytical skills.

A post was made using the full term (”Cloward-Piven”). I responded directly to that post with an abbreviation (”C-P”). For anyone who was either reading all the posts and/or with the ability to trace my post back to the post I was responding to (you can see who and the specific post # I was responding to in my post) it should have obvious that “C-P” was “Cloward-Piven”.
