Bring Obama your Huddled, Illegal Youths; He Invited Them

“Death trains” rumbling through Mexico teeming with children, headed for the U.S. border. Teenage girls raped. Unspeakable violence at the hands of ruthless coyotes, carrying out President Obama’s stunningly reckless new foreign policy.

Of course, Mr. Obama did not issue a formal edict inviting each of the tens of thousands of children pouring over the border from Mexico. He didn’t have to. His executive action legalizing underage illegals in the U.S. was all the invitation they needed. And come they did.

At this hot pace, we will have more than a quarter-million orphaned children on the border by the end of next year — each and every one the sole responsibility of Mr. Obama.

Actions have consequences, Mr. President. And executive actions have executive consequences. You are personally responsible for the harrowing condition of every one of these children. You are personally responsible for ripping apart every single one of these families.

Mr. Obama and congressional Democrats have pursued amnesty for illegals hoping for millions of indentured voters — poor new Americans they believe will feel obligated to vote for Democrats for decades to come. Yes, a sick political gambit.

By Leah Barkoukis.

Since October, 52,000 unaccompanied children have made the perilous journey to the United States, some suffering psychological or physical abuse in the hands of smugglers, others having been sold into the sex trade. DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson said at today’s House Committee on Homeland Security hearing that Border Patrol is encountering roughly 350 people crossing into the U.S. per day—an unprecedented influx that patrol stations cannot handle and a problem which shows no signs of abating.

“This is a crisis that has been in the making for years,” Committee Chairman Michael McCaul said during his opening statement. “The Department of Homeland Security, and the U.S. government as a whole, has been slow to act, turning a blind eye to the warning signs.”

While there was consensus among committee members that the safety of children comes first in addressing the issue, when it came to identifying the root causes of the problem, Democrats and Republicans were divided.

Republicans, including Chairman McCaul, mostly laid out three factors that have contributed to the problem: Obama’s executive actions like the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, lax enforcement policies, and Congress’ talk of comprehensive immigration reform.

“It is beyond dispute that such a narrative shapes behavior and encourages people to come to our country illegally,” McCaul said. “In fact, newspapers in El Salvador and Honduras seem to be encouraging youth to head to the United States based on these policies. And recent internal DHS surveys of these children reveal that more than 70% believe they are going to stay in the country.”
