(Reuters) - A top U.S. official said on Sunday the U.S. border is not open to illegal entry into the country, but acknowledged the government does need to be sensitive to the tens of thousands of migrant children flowing into detention centers.
More than 52,000 unaccompanied minors from Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras have been caught trying to sneak over the U.S.-Mexico border since October, double the number from the same period the year before. Thousands more have been apprehended with parents or other adults.
"We have to do right by the children, but at the end of the day, our border is not open to illegal migration and we will stem the tide," Jeh Johnson, the U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security, said on NBC's "Meet the Press" on Sunday.
Johnson said that the government administers deportation proceedings to illegal migrants seized at the border, including children. But he added that the government is looking at being more flexible toward the children seized at the border.
"We are looking at ways to create additional options for dealing with the children, in particular, consistent with our laws and our values," Johnson said.
Johnson repeated the stance, taken by President Barack Obama last week, that the president would take executive action to revamp the U.S. immigration system.
"There are a number of things the president and I, within the confines of existing law, can do to fix the broken immigration system. If Congress doesn't act, we will," Johnson said.

What could be more right than sending back to their families??
Okay, let’s do right, let’s send their butts home for their government to take care of.
The US needs to do right by the taxpayers. They are not our problem.
But apparently their own countries don’t have to “do right” for them?
And send along the “official” as the indefinite chaperone.
The US needs to shut this door. The onslaught will continue until they do.
How about using the same laws and values that sent Elian Gonzalez back to his father in Cuba?
surely growing up Honduran is no worse a fate than becoming a little communist puppet
He’d soon change his tune if his outrageous salary was tapped to pay for the “processing” for these illegal aliens,,,
The diseases they are bringing in were eradicated here generations ago. Now my children and grandchildren may be killed by Obama and his treasonous political practices. This administration MUST BE FLUSHED before they bring catastrophe on the nation and by extension the whole damn civilised world.If I am to die I will die on my feet with a gun in my hand and not in a bed with a thermometer up my behind.
FOXNews reporter who talked to nurses was finding out the migrants now want to go back home.
Why have no reporters went to Guatemala, El Salvador or Honduras and asked the real reason for so many leaving? CNN?
Let him do “right” with his own money and pension.
Tell your congressman and Senators, either the illegals stop coming and are sent home or the Congress and Senate is sent packing.
I understand Obama is sending in the Jack booted Fed troops to stop protesters of illegals. Typical NAZI tactics of the left.
The United States shall guarantee to every state in this union a republican form of government,
Homeland Security wants you DEAD as their first priority Mr and Ms American.
“We have to do right by the children, but at the end of the day, our border is not open to illegal migration and we will stem the tide,” Jeh Johnson, the U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security, said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday.”
Lying sack of sh*t. This has been an orchestrated “crisis” from the start. The payoff for the darkside is far too rich to ever “stem the tide.”
I can’t afford anymore kids.
Another example of the Obama Admin doing the complete opposite of what the people want
