Political Fallout From Underage Illegals May Spread Far From the Rio Grande Valley
The Washington Examiner ^ | Sunday, July 13, 2014 | Michael Barone

The flood of underage--and many not-so-underage--illegal immigrants from the Central American countries of Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador crested in the Rio Grande Valley, but now the waters are being diverted and channeled to other parts of the United States.

Well, maybe that metaphor is a bit labored, but my point is that these young and not-so-young people are being transported to various parts of the country, to be put under the care of relatives, we are told, though it's not so clear that the caregivers are always relatives. My former Washington Examiner colleague Joel Gehrke, now at National Review, highlights the at least fragmentary evidence that some are being turned over to human traffickers. Those are exactly the kind of people that a near-unanimous Congress tried to keep them away from by passing the William Wilberforce anti-trafficking law in 2008.

Two other National Review Corner items merit attention. In one Ryan Lovelace references Senator Mark Kirk's concerns about the Heartland Alliance, a group to whose care the Department of Health and Human Services has apparently consigned some 400 children. Kirk is concerned that Heartland Alliance staff may have criminal records.

In the other, Lovelace quotes the chief of staff of the mayor of Lynn, Mass., about how many Guatemalan “children” were sent there and placed in public schools. “Some of them have had gray hair and they're telling you that they're 17 years old and they have no documentation,” the official is quoted as saying.

The picture of thousands of illegal youngsters streaming over the border is disquieting and seems likely to hurt the president's standing with voters...

Listening to foxnews w/ Laura Ingram, Juan Williams, Karl Rove, Brit Hume.

They all seem to think we are boxed in and there is no other choice but, faux immigration reform.

I have read of secret ICE/HHS flights landing from Minnesota to Boston.

“Where they want to live” says it all.

There is no intention to deport.

Next the parents of these “children” will be allowed in to keep families together. Then the extended relatives, grandparents etc.

When some of these kids get molested they’ll find some way to blame the republicans. And who can blame them. Republicans are easy targets since they won’t fight back.

This is no less than a slow-motion coup brought about by the demographic replacement of Americans.

Find out how many are coming to your state and how much it is going to cost. http://www.mainetv.net/coordinators.htm a full list of the coordinators and their phone numbers, state by state in alphabetical order. Ask you state Rep and stat Senator to call for you.

Slavery, sex trafficking, rape, pedophilia—a small price to pay for a permanent Democrat voting majority.

Your link goes to a site which then links to a site that is not welcome here...

Is there another source?
