    2/3 Of Aliens Admitted Under Obama's 'Minor' Program Are Adults

    2/3 Of Aliens Admitted Under Obama's 'Minor' Program Are Adults
    Brittany M. Hughes | 8 hours ago

    Recent government data shows that more than two-thirds of the aliens the Obama administration has brought to the United States under the president's Central American Minors program weren’t actually minors at all.

    To date, more than 10,600 Central Americans from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador have applied for refugee status or humanitarian parole under the CAM program, the State Department said Wednesday. The controversial initiative was launched in December 2014 as part of President Obama’s executive actions on immigrant, and was touted as a way to bring illegal alien children from certain Central American countries into the United States to be reunited with their families, who are often here illegally themselves.

    The move was allegedly designed to keep underage children from relying on dangerous human smugglers to bring them across the U.S. –Mexico border illegally.
    Unfortunately for the Obama administration, the program struggled to convince potential applicants that its long, extensive application process was more appealing than simply paying a smuggler to transport them across the border. To help bolster the floundering program, the administration expanded CAM in August to include adult relatives of “qualifying” children, effectively nullifying the whole original point of the program.

    Under these new guidelines, the administration now transports not only Central American minors into the United States, but also their adult siblings, aunts, uncles, or other related “caregivers.”

    Now, under the CAM program, the State Department told MRCTV in an email Wednesday that of the 1,600 aliens who have traveled to the United States to date, only 480 of them – just 30 percent – are children under the age of 18.

    Conversely, a full 70 percent of those aliens who’ve been allowed into the United States under the president’s program for “minors” are adults.

    On top of failing to provide much help to many child “refugees,” the CAM program hasn’t made a notable impact on the number of unaccompanied children and families who’ve elected to come into the United States illegally via the Mexican border – which is the very problem the initiative was supposedly created to alleviate.

    U.S. Customs and Border Protection reports it apprehended another 4,973 unaccompanied illegal alien children (UACs) at the U.S.-Mexico border in October, up 97 percent from the 2,519 UACs that border agents apprehended in October of last year. That same month, the Obama administration released more than 6,000 illegal alien children to sponsors living in the United States.

    CBP also caught another 6,029 family units crossing the Southwest U.S. border illegally during the month of October, a total 179 percent higher than the 2,162 family units the agency caught in October of last year. The border surge has increased so much, in fact, that officials are now warning the wave is already threatening to overwhelm their resources.

    In fact, CBP data shows that since President Obama launched the costly CAM program in December 2014, nearly 100,000 unaccompanied alien children and more than 123,000 family units have been apprehended at the U.S.-Mexico border.

    Unfortunately for Obama – or at least, his narrative – it’s pretty clear that the CAM program (which cost American taxpayers $948 million in FY 2016 alone) is much more tailored toward helping Central American adults than it is minors, and isn’t doing a thing to deter illegal immigration.

    This has thrown caution to the wind. Probably the reasoning is that they couldn't just have the minor children come here, without some adults to be their guardians. So anyone closely related would suffice. How that would actually work in practice is a mystery, because then we would assume the responsibility for the adults, too. Pretty soon we have three times as many people on social welfare programs as was intended.

    There are so many projects which the US government and private American groups make available in the original countries; It's a lot cheaper if the people would avail themselves of those programs there, than trying to accommodate them all here. The US government would do better funding some information campaign in cooperation with the governments of those countries and helping people find the available resources there.

    UNREAL! they don't fall under "deportation" either....neither are they checked for illnesses, invasive species, polio strains affecting our American children etc, etc.

    This "children" thing is all a farce - I knew the entire family would come here too.

    Who the hell is going to pay for these people? They already are gang involved, will continue their killing ways, their drug selling ways, their raping young children ways, and their overpopulating inbreeding ways. Who needs them?

    Why are they here and not in their own countries standing up for their people? Get them OUT! Send them back to their countries and let them take care of their own. They are not our responsibility. We already send much monies to their countries, they should not be here.
