Thread: Illegal immigration statistics show Trump’s resolve to keep campaign promise

One danger sign, though, is a renewed spike in the numbers of families and unaccompanied alien children (UAC) who are jumping the border. The Border Patrol reported a 27 percent rise in UAC apprehensions and a 46 percent surge in people traveling as families in July, compared with June.

Oh no. Could it be they think Trump's bark is worse than his bite or could it be that the smugglers are becoming more active in the sales department?

These unaccompanied children bother me.

First, are they all children. Some have been found to be young adults. Also, is a 17 year old really classified as a child?

Where are the parents? Are they waiting in Mexico until we admit the child, then they can come?
If and when a parent is found for these children, they certainly should not be considered as worthy to become citizens if they ship their children to another country, just to gain for themselves.

Also, do these unaccompanied children have relatives here? Is that why they are coming?

Are we still stirring up trouble in South America causing people to want to need to leave?

Lots of questions on this subject no one is bothering to ask.

These people know the court system is so very slow. And it looks like they're still a low priority to be deported. They can just disappear into the interior of the country and as long as they don't commit major crimes, they're pretty much safe.
