U.S. Says Deportation of Honduran Children a Warning to Illegal Migrants
Reuters ^ | Tuesday, July 15, 2014 | Steve Holland and Gabriel Stargardter

The White House said on Tuesday that Central Americans trying to cross the U.S. border should know "they will not be welcome to this country," a day after the United States deported a planeload of women and children to Honduras.

A charter flight on Monday from New Mexico to San Pedro Sula, the city with the highest murder rate in the world, transported 17 Honduran women, as well as 12 girls and nine boys between the ages of 18 months and 15 years.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest said the return of the Hondurans should be a clear signal to those thinking about crossing the border illegally that "they're entitled to due process but they will not be welcome to this country with open arms."

The return of the Hondurans was the most high-profile example of President Barack Obama's struggle to gain control of an influx of child migrants from Central America that is overwhelming immigration resources and leading to scattered protests from people angry at the government for housing some border-crossers in communities around the country.

Organizations working with illegal migrants and Honduran youths said the U.S. flight was largely symbolic and would have little impact on Honduran children trying to escape a country racked by gang violence and the world's highest murder rate.

The White House's Earnest said Obama did not personally approve the return of the Hondurans on Monday. It was a decision made by the Homeland Security Department, implementing a policy the president had set out, he said.

A secure border would be a much better warning.

The US government wishes to warn Hondurans in the strongest possible terms that if you come to the USA illegally and are unable to make the bogus argument of `gang intimidation’ because of homesickness, well, we will be forced to fly you home and cannot guarantee your choice of meal or in-flight movie.
This may seem strict but we consider it to be fair.

The Obama Administration has been flooding the Central American media markets with information and advertisements like this, for the past six months.

Ok. Here’s a silly but possible idea. We could send the kids back with body guards. Assign each couple of kids a Marine guard to follow them around and fight off bad guys. If enough Marines accumulate there and do their job, the place will be pretty safe and Hondurans won’t be eager to go North and risk bringing still more Marines back with them.

Well it does send a clear message:

Honduran illegal immigrants please be advised that should you cross our border and enter the United States your chances a staying are no higher than 99.7%.

IOW, Obama’s muzzie upbringing is showing — his war on women, and on children, and baldface lying.

American’s may be stupid, but even the poor illiterates in Central America know that hundreds of thousands have left their banana republics while a mere 40 (yes 40) have been deported.

PS: ABC World News did not even mention the border invasion.

They must have professed to be Christians and believed in homeschooling.

I’ll bet those who were deported are already standing in line at the border waiting for the border patrol to give them bus tickets to Phoenix.

“a day after the United States deported a planeload of women and children to Honduras”

Unless this plane was a twin prop F-27 or DH-8 I don’t think this lives up to a “planeload”. Reuter’s reporters must be gay since they don’t mind bending over for Obama. Sorry. I personally have nothing against gay people. Unfortunately, I think our media is full of the kind that doesn’t care if our country’s borders are overrun with illegals. They hope this way they will get their gay agenda passed. Just like SEIU and the environmental groups. They don’t care if the country is destroyed in the process. Dirty faggots the whole bunch of them!

I know for a fact that aprx 50 Hondurans are flown to Honduras from central Arizona every week, week after week after week. Been goin on like that for years and in the last 3 months it’s begun to increase steadily.
