HOUSTON, Texas--As unaccompanied minors continue to illegally cross the Texas-Mexico border, President Obama's Health and Human Services (HHS) has been quietly releasing them onto U.S. soil. A total of 30,340 unaccompanied minors have already been released from federal custody and placed into foster homes, according to HHS' Office of Refugee and Resettlement (ORR). While many migrants have been released in border states like Texas and California, others have been set free in Alaska.

Nothing makes sense anymore. If a bunch of kids show up at your door (or more likely if they climbed in your windows into your home), do you keep them and send them up to a bedroom to stay with you? No, you repatriate them to their parents, and possibly indict their parents for child neglect. And, you close your windows and doors, and put up a fence. We're powerless to effect change, and this evil government is stealing our money to use against our wishes. It's a madhouse.
