More than 700 unaccompanied migrant children have been relocated to Alabama since October 2015, according to the Department of Health and Human Services' Office of Refugee Resettlement.

DHS figures show 725 unaccompanied minor children ages 17 and younger have been released to sponsors in Alabama from October 2015 to July 2016. If the monthly average holds steady for August and September, the state will top last year's placement figure of 808 as well as the previous year's total of 786.

The children – most from Central America – arrived in the U.S. without a guardian. When they arrive, they are taken into custody of the Office of Refugee Resettlement, which provides food, shelter and medical care. If a sponsor, ideally a family member, can be found, the child is released into their custody while waiting for immigration proceedings.

That process can take months or years.

The sponsors can live in any state, with California and Texas taking in the most this fiscal year at 5,998 and 5,308 children, respectively. So far this year, 41,998 unaccompanied minors have been brought to the U.S., an increase from the 27,840 in fiscal 2015 but on track to be less than the 53,515 from fiscal 2014 when waves of immigrant children crossed into the U.S.

The influx created a humanitarian - and political - crisis.

Counties with the most unaccompanied minors

Four of Alabama's 67 counties have seen the highest number of placements for immigrant children in the last 10 months.

One-hundred and nine children were placed with sponsors in Marshall County; 71 in Jefferson County; 57 in Tuscaloosa County; and 56 in Morgan County.

The DHS data only includes counties where more than 50 children have been located.

Los Angeles County, California saw the greatest number of placements at 2,893 children.

Send your kids, then you get to enter with all 25 family members later. These 10's of thousands will 25x in numbers the central american population in the USA and it will be too late to stop it unless they are sent home now or at least plans for their return are made. Couple this with mega millions of mexicans and we will have a different country - no longer filled with Americans that are the rightful residents. Who will be left eventually to PAY for these overbreeders?

All a scam to change the electorate!
