Kids Overwhelming US Border, Officials Acknowledge
ABC News ^ | July 9, 2014 | By ERICA WERNER, AP

Top Obama administration officials told senators Wednesday they're struggling to keep up with the surge of immigrants at the southern border, acknowledging they've been overwhelmed as children show up by the tens of thousands from violence-torn Central America.

"We have not been what I would say successful yet", FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate testified before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.

"The children continue to come across the border. It's a very fluid situation," Fugate said. "Although we have made progress, that progress is oftentimes disrupted when we see sudden influxes of kids coming in faster than we can discharge them, and we back up."

The invasion has only just started, it will be in the millions now that the world sees there is no deporting.

This country is toast.

...violence-torn Central America.

The White Hut and now most news agencies are starting to throw this into every story about these illegal aliens!

I have heard about all the wars in the middle east, I have heard lots of stories about the atrocities in Syria, I have even heard of some place that Russia over-ran recently. But, I can honestly say, I have NOT heard a single news story about the increased violence or even the same-level violence or even about ANY violence in Central America until NOW!

Don't get me wrong, I knew it was there, I spent ten years in the Marine Corps, I am more than aware of the conflicts throughout the world, but the President and his presstitutes are making it sound like this violence just all of a sudden popped up and is forcing children to flee to America. B.S.!!

Obama and Mexico are letting these kids come here in the hopes of pushing amnesty and more B.S. immigration laws that Obama won't enforce!

I was in Guatemala, El Salvador, and Nicaragua about a year ago on business. There are some rough spots and crime is a real problem, but no wars.

These invaders are off limits to congress and the media because of what they would say about why they risked their life getting here. “WE CAME BECAUSE OF OBAMA”.

Exactly! Central America is probably as violent as most three day weekends in Chicago or just about any non-over populated part of Mexico.

But, the Press and the President are trying to make the low-info voters believe in a war-torn, running-naked-from-napalm-strikes violence in Central America! This is a real tail-wag-the-dog conspiracy here!

The worst part is that the Republicans don't seem to be doing anything about this B.S. storyline! Kind of like they are going along with the ruse!

I don’t know why they’re not being intercepted and turned back into Mexico. Once they’re here they become our problem. Which tells me they are bing let into this country intentionally.
