White House Reacts To Stunning Data About Unaccompanied Alien Children
The costs from America’s porous immigration system continue to rise. At the end of April, news broke that between October 2016 and December 2017, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) was unable to locate nearly 1,500 of the 7,635 unaccompanied alien minors it attempted to reach—almost one-fifth of its file.
“I don’t care what you think about immigration policy, it’s wrong,” Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH) said. He’s right: A very small percentage of the unaccompanied alien children (UAC) who illegally enter the United States each year are ultimately removed, creating a major public safety challenge.
Loopholes in our immigration laws put both UACs and American citizens at risk. Most UACs are older teens (16-17 years old) from Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador. Some are MS-13 gang members who use our immigration system to infiltrate the United States, but UACs who are not gang members are still at risk of harm from MS-13. This broken system is dangerous for everyone.
NOTE: Under the Obama Administration, the Department of Health and Human Services documented that 80 percent of the 71,000 Central American children placed between February 2014 and September 2015 were released to sponsors who are in the United States illegally. Parents were more than half of the cases; many others were siblings, aunts, and uncles.

Congress needs to get in gear and pass common sense immigration reform and get the wall built. I don’t support DACA. To me it doesn’t matter how they got here, they’re here illegally and have made no attempt to become legal citizens. They need to go back and go through channels like all the legal immigrants who come the right way. Anytime you make exceptions to the rules it opens the door to a precedent to do it for all. If they want to be citizens they can go back home and do it properly.
We already have common sense immigration laws the democrats have abused and ignored and after 75 years of democrat rule with both houses being democrat controlled we have been invaded by illegals thanks to them!!!
Get them all the hell out of the US
Close the border. Prosecute all persons (ALL) who enter this country illegally to the full extent of the law. No matter who they are they are criminals breaking our immigration laws.
Dallas Independent School District has and has had in the past 10 years more students with parents without American citizenship than with citizenship for which Dallas has used billions of dollars from bonds to cover the expenses of illegal immigrants ! In the November elections, D I S D plans to propose an increase in property taxes to cover the expenses with foreign students !!! Dallas is a sanctuary city !
The illegal immigrants are the root cause of our nation’s debt, outrageous healthcare cost, illicit drug trafficking, untenable education costs and loss of employment for native born American citizens. It isn’t the immigration laws, it is a lack o enforcement, corrupt federal judges, corrupt politicians and every major U.S. company.
So here we go American citizens will be paying for ILLEGAL kids to get an education that we can’t even get for our own kids!
What’s the matter with that picture?
Let’s send them ALL to the various schools that the politicians send their kids to and let THEM pay for the ILLEGAL children’s education!
see, Americans are footing the bill for the free s**t they get and its not right. they ALL need to go! yea it will cost us to fly them out but save us so so much more in the long run.
So, Americans have to pay for more illegal aliens and they come here just to get free handouts.? nutz to that. May 5 th be damn!
Close the schools. Over half of the kids that get diplomas cant even read well enough to read a newspaper. – How much worse off would the kids be without the schools?
The Obama administration DHS numbers are a pack of lies and they can’t be supported by any truthful documentation. Anybody who has watched this invasion, sanctioned by Obama and all of his criminal administration, knows that many thousands of teens and sub-teens who came here illegally before 2017 were used in human trafficking schemes that they couldn’t escape from. Pray that they are still alive.
Yes and the ILLEGAL DACA that BHO set up apparently can’t be undone because the piss poor legal system steps in and vindicates an ILLEGAL executive order!
My mind is so full right now of the plight of these abandoned children. No I am not for opening up and just saying they should have ever come nor that any others should come. What boggles my brain is that some adult obviously is responsible for each child who has come here unaccompanied. If that is not cruel to say the least. Did their parents or others who sent them here not even care about their future?
JUST FOLLOW THE LAW OF THE LAND. FORGET OBAMA..HE HAS DONE MORE HARM TO OUR COUNTRY THAN ALL OUR PRESIDENTS COMBINED. WE SHOULD TRY HIM FOR TREASON….IT CAN BE DONE. WE HAVE ENOUGH INTELIGENT LAWYERS WHO KNOW THE LAW OF THE LAND AND THEY SHOULD INDICT HIM FOR HIS CRIMES AS PRESIDENT. LOOK AT HIS E-MAILS ETC AND FIND OUT WHAT HE HAS DONE DURING AND NOW THAT HE IS A PRIVATE CITIZEN.
The democrats let them in to get a stronger voter base, vote independent and send them all back
We have a process for immigrants. The ones who come in illegally should be sent to their country of origin. After two times they will not be able to make the journey again. And it’s probably cheaper that way.
Really easy, no papers to prove your legal , no work. No work, no welfare, no nothin if you don’t belong here. Sad but send them all home.
Mr. bruceW, excellent suggestion, that is every single human being that does NOT have any papers and can NOT speak English, this means that NO ONE CAN OR MAY ENTER THE USA, POINT BLANK, PERIOD!
That’s what happens in every other country in the world. No papers? Deported if lucky, disappeared if unlucky.
When did it become possible to immigrate without a sponsor that whould assume financial liability so the taxpayer wpud not be stuck with suppodting the immigrant(s) of they had financial difficulties??
I do not want to pay for them! They are here because they are told USA will pick up the tab for everything while Americans have to work for what they have. They laugh at us. They are brought here by lawyers who organize and make money off these people.
And the churches are making money off these invaders as well. They are putting me in danger while they paraded around how generous they are with other people’s money…then they go home to their gated communities.
Wall to Wall Illegals in every Resourse in California, I checked out everything before GOING IN DEBT, to get the hell OUT, Left lots of family and friends, took my only child who was raised without family, thanks to this corrupt government of ours!
Then schools have to educate them on our dollar. Colleges give them in-state or free tuition while our kids pay full tuition.
The gutless House and Senate should fix the laws and President Trump will carry them out! UAC’s should be sent back!
It is long past due for Congress to get off their butts and pass immigration reform bills that stop the illegal immigration, cut off the handouts to them, stop chain and lottery immigration and reduce the yearly amounts. Is our elected Congress working for the US Citizen or the immigrants?
The media doesn’t want the problem to go away and the democrats are owned by the media. If President Trump was really like Hitler or Putin he would control the media and made all the negative information disappear. In a free society the media makes to much money providing false information and disruption. It is all about the power given them because so many individuals in this country aren’t paying attention and seem to accept much of the fake news. Hillary was guaranteed to be the winner in the 2016 presidential but the media was proven wrong after the public was promised a Clinton victory. We can only hope and pray 2018 will prove to be a repeat!
Unfortunately the politicians have made it so that American citizens (who, by the way) PAID for the social services can’t get any benefits, only ILLEGALS can and they don’t have to prove a thing to get them!
Only American citizens have to jump through bureaucratic red tape to get what little they can!
The U.S, has a right to be a sovereign Nation; to decide who/whom may come into this country legally. Illegal immigrants face many dangers, one huge danger is Human Trafficking which happens to the youth, the unsuspecting, to the illiterate, the desperate as well as the greedy…guile by Traffickers makes these people victims so easy. And as for the Taxpayers of America and their families and friends the ability for American citizens and legal immigrants to vie for jobs, decent pay, homes-whether owned or rent–costs continue to rise; schools continue to be short of monies and problems with language as well as becoming food kitchens for students-not education,roads/highways/streets continue to deteriorate , just to name a few problems, even food and health become problems as many on welfare/food stamps and another-Life becomes cheap-killings through robberies, stealing-crime rises. The economics of Illegal Immigration has never been addressed, time for it to be addressed, time for Truth to be told. Canada has open borders and are seeing the problems that I have mentioned and probably more as they are Socialists. So the Wall between Mexico and the U.S. needs to be built and secured by our Border Patrols with support by the U.S. Government as well as the American citizen and taxpayers.
I cannot imagine what this country would have looked like if our Founding Fathers had been members of the 60’s generation. It would definitely not have survived as a constitutional republic since there would NOT have been a C. R.
What in the world are we now going to have to do to reestablish this nation. Hopefully, the States take back their previous rights and take back their Rights to rein in Fed. Govt. when it no longer serves the peoples wishes.
Everyone who thinks these people should be allowed in to this country should required to take a family into their home and provide for them.
this was all a part of obama and his henchmen’s plan to destabilize and
bring down our government. side benefits for the democrats, hillary,
pelosi, shumer they thought, was to garner democrat votes brainwashing
these poor juveniles. the bs going on at the border is merely a democrat
tactic to use in the elections. they don’t care one whit about these poor
people; they are simply using them as they have for years used african
americans for the same reasons. every liberal and democrat who
supports this “caravan” should be made to take at least one family into
their own home to support in every way. i doubt there will be any
takers.
This is completely OUT of CONTROL. We need to shut down the border to EVERYONE until we can manage this mess and account for each and every one that has come across the border into the USA during the last 10 years.
You are so right! Mexico won’t take in these immigrants but wants us to just like they want us to take in their people. Less to take care of in their country. They are not working with us and if the tables were turned they would not like it one bit if we did this to them.
The tables will never be turned. When Americans were oppressed under tyranny, we dusted off our guns and FIXED IT!!
THE LIBERAL DEMO”S R THE ONES CAUSING ALL THE PROBLEMS WITH THEIR OPEN BOADERS BS.THEY DO NOT RELIZE THESE ILLEGAL WILL SOON BE ALLOWED TO VOTE THEN THEY WILL BE IN CHARGE & WHAT CAN WE DO AS THEY OUT # US AT THE VOTING POLLS. MOST EVERY FAMILY HAS 4 OR 5 KIDS. WILL NOT TAKE LONG TO OUT # US. NEXT THING U KNOW ONE OF THEM WILL BE PRESDENT OF THE USA
I’m glad that we have a new Sheriff in town! Mr. Obama didn’t care one whit about all the criminals seeping in with his open border policy because I believe he was planted in the White House by Mr. Soros and was manipulated while in office like a puppet on a string and like Soros, Obama’s main goal, I feel, was to ruin this once great Country of ours and he did a remarkable job of it! However, we are not completely down and if the “Do nothing” Congress would get behind the President I believe we would have at least a chance of coming out of it!
The only reason the DemocRATS are supporting illegals is that DemocRATS are illegally registering them to vote. All the illegals have to do it swear they are citizens with the penalty that if they lie they are guilty of perjury and subject to deportation. Duh! they are already subject to deportation and clearly they will register and vote for DemocRATS that are protecting them from being deported. Enforce the existing law that only legal citizens can vote and deport the ones that committed perjury by swearing they were citizens, registering, and voting, even the DemocRATS will quit supporting illegals if they can’t vote.
The solution to the immigration problem is simple. Don’t waste money on a wall or added security. Since Canada is so eager to let illegals across their borders, all we have to do is let al the illegals come across our southern border put them on busses (trains) take them to the Canadian border and cut them loose. The illegals will storm the Canadian border then they become Canada’s problem. Busses (or trains) are cheaper than a wall, requires less personnel
We the tax payers are not responsible for these so called asylum seeker’s health and welfare send them back. Better lets get that wall up pronto. This charade has been going on for too many years. Mexico is complicit in creating this invasion. NAFTA should be cancelled or re-negotiated so that Mexico pays for this disaster that is tearing our country apart
Loop holes are premeditated addition to laws so that lawyers will always have jobs. Clarity and completeness are the ultimate CHARITIES.
More to educate……more to provide healthcare….more to commit crimes…..more food stamps…more welfare…..more to put wear and tear on our roads and streets without paying their fair share……more to receive money from taxes for each illegal child, without paying taxes. Tax payers, real tax payers, are breaking their backs for people who broke our laws to get into this country. Today bad is rewarded, good is punished; this wonderful country is slowly being destroyed. Do we want this to be a third world country?
Well the powers that be has gone out of their way to make them feel at home , name me one other country where any one that is any sort of official has to go through the same speech twice so they can appease the ill eagles. Plus they were pulling down our flag and replacing it with a Mexican flag , why didn’t they just stay home ….Probably because the Mexican Government is tired of there sh%# too and wants them gone. Plus they give preference to illegals in our hospitals , they get food stamps , and they helped a lot putting an ill eagle in the White House , Holder said denying them voting rights because they had no ID was bull > As far as I know even American Citizens has to have some form of government ID on them or they face arrest for vagrancy ! Obama almost ruined our country , lets all get behind Trump , a real American and help drain the swamp , hopefully start with Pelosi and Chuck Shrumer !
Mr. President, please shut the door. There are veterans that need help and are not getting it. We are the Early Vietnam Veterans that served with boots on the ground—we served from February 1955 to February 26, 1961 AND WE ARE NOT RECOGNIZED FOR OUR SERVICE AND ARE DENIED VIETNAM VETERANS BENEFITS. Most of us that are still alive are in our 80’s and 90’s and would like to be recognized for serving our country; one of the results is we can’t even join The Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) or the American Legion. Over 18 men were killed and received Purple Hearts Posthumously. A hand grenade was thrown into my billets–a bus was bombed outside of the Metropole with men onboard–there were many injuries. Because of my Top Secret Clearance I was moved to what I was told was safer facilities–it looked new but after I moved in it turned out to be in direct line of fire with the Saigon Police Station across the river. But this was not hazardous duty. The TS clearance covered the requirements of the Geneva Accords as I found out I was an overage and not accounted for. I was also told if there was a mass evacuation I was to make my way to the Saigon River and hope someone would pick me up—I would not be evacuated with the troops. It would only take bill introduced on the floor to make us eligible.
Unaccompanied minors are selected by MS-13 and other extremely violent and vicious gangs. They are trained and grow up criminals. The FBI knows this as do the social snowflakes that work with alien felon invaders.
It’s way past time to close our borders, period!!!
Obama should be in prison for all the crap he did to weaken the USA!!
It’s a very sad situation we’re faced with. Here are hundreds of people fleeing not only poverty which would make people in the US cringe, they are also fleeing political problems like the various wars and conflicts which break out in Central America from time to time. These are the people who tend to get trapped in the middle. What’s to become of them. The US is a vast country. There should be room enough for at least some of these people. As it is, they are treated like criminals. And it’s no secret about the women who are raped whilst in US custody. Nobody wants to talk about that part of it. And what about all those children?
Excuse me, we have been allowing illegals to take over since 1980’s, we are 20 TRILLION IN DEBT! Over run with CRIMINALS, and having our jobs taken away…..you can’t take care of the WORLD…..
What about their parents? I for one would not send my child to another country on the chance they might make and subsequently get me in, that is not what parents do for their children.
Agree with Kate on all points. There are American citizens here that need help because they don’t make enough money for house etc., if they were getting help before they are jerked off of the food stamps because they make to much.what isn’t fair is all of the illegals are getting all the free stuff , food stamps , insurance etc. and is not a citizen of the United States .They are living the dream not the American People .We are paying taxes and putting their ass up here in the United States.All they want to do is change everything here to the way they want it to hell with what the Americans want.This country is going to change into a third world country if people don’t get behind President Trump and do what needs to be done , close the borders and send all the illegals back where the came from and then do it the right way if they want to come over. Most of these people don’t want to be citizens or the would have already gotten there citizenship,these daca dreamers should have already gotten it but they just want the U.S. to make them a citizen . I’m for going by the law because if we break the law we go to jail so why not them, they are breaking the law too. Pisses me off!!!!!!
Politicians, you know who they are, look upon these illegal aliens as 1) Possible future voters, and 2) Aids in attracting sympathy for the “children” to degrade opinions about opposition.
Is anything the Obama admin said about anything reliable/trustworthy? Like you can keep your doctor. A deliberate lie. The current situation of the fake rolling investigation of collusion which has changed to obstruction of justice or whatever with endless personal fantasy dreams of their father attacks on Trump show one thing. That the media and the people they lionize/make great–sports figures, Hollywood types, dem party members do have a liberal stranglehold on the flow of ideas to the public. And this has resulted in what we as a country are going through–political chaos. With the king of chaos the one and only democrat party boss. A great manipulator.
Maybe it’s time to start shooting those that try to cross illegally. Israel shoots when individuals try to get in their country illegally. Better yet, RECALL all the Democrats that are stopping Congress from passing and enforceing immigration law. America is going broke having to pay welfare and food stamps and healthcare and education for illegals when American citizens are denied these same handouts. People better wake up before the next General Election!!
It is about the time for all Americans to stand up tall against illegal migration. It is unjust to those waiting for over ten years whose petitions have been approved and are still waiting for grant of a visa to enter in the United States Of America. We are a debtor Nation owes over 20 Trillion Dollars. We do not have unlimited resources and if we keep fighting ourselves on party lines and do not take any action now, it won’t be long our children, grandchildren’ and great -grandchildren will shame us what we have done for their future.
Note Richard: They are breaking our immigration laws which makes illegals criminals. And the U.S. cannot take care of the world and their problems. We have enough of our own. The U.S. is going broke for many reasons and illegals are not helping. Take care of U.S. citizens first , then take care of those from other Countries. Also, these illegals are bringing back illnesses that have been eradicated in the U.S. back into this Country such as TB, measels and mumps. They also attribute to the return of bedbugs as they bring them in with them. At this present time, they are a heavy burden to the U.S. It is not just a matter of space.
Round them and their illegal parents up and deport them, if they are in this country without their parents deport them back to where they belong with their parents, if they are living with other illegals round them up and deport them also, deport every illegal you can get your hands on it will cut down on crime because they do not respect the US laws and feel they do not have to obey the law, it is time the US shows illegals that this country demands respect
I am 100% PRO LEGAL IMMIGRATION, but I am 100% OPPOSED to ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. I am FURIOUS that our country is having to deal with this problem of ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS disrespecting our borders and immigration laws. It is quite obvious that the Left-wing COMMIES have an agenda of eliminating our country’s borders and ushering in GLOBALIZATION. (The goal eventually is to have a one-world government.) As much as our country is divided on this and so many other issues, I am really not sure if our UNITED STATES can survive. (A house divided cannot stand.) I foresee another civil war coming and/or the secession of states. I think it’s just a matter of time. >>> It is utterly ABSURD that the federal government cannot stop illegal entry into our country. Imagine if YOU had to accept an intruder(s) into your home or onto your property, just because he/she/they set foot on it. This policy/law is totally ASININE!! CONGRESS needs to get off its ASSSSS and rectify this problem. If not, then I do NOT want to be a part of the United States anymore. (And just for your information, I have lived in many different states all across the U.S. and I have lived abroad.)
There’s another issue that no one is talking about: Dual Citizenship. Once all of these MILLIONS of ILLEGALS get U.S. citizenship, you can be assured that they will ALSO have dual citizenship. Do you really think they will give up the citizenship of their home countries? Think again!! Do you think DUAL NATIONALS will have an advantage over us who JUST have U.S. citizenship? Hmm…what comes to mind…dual national loyalties, the ability to vote in the elections of two countries, the ability to flee, ETC. What implications will this have on the United States of America in the future. Remember, we are talking about MILLIONS of People. I like to be a positive person, but the future of our country is looking VERY BLEAK. As a TEXAN, if TEXAS decides to secede under these circumstances, I may very well be in favor of it. All options are on the table!! DON’T MESS with TEXAS!!!!

I left CA 1995, my Native home, was invaded…lots of crime, Spanish speaking people all around me. DHS wic SSI etc. giving free tax resources away to millions! Couldn’t believe, still don’t. A DRUNK ILLEGAL crashed my car, 5 DUI’s nothing was done, could have killed someone. Mother had tips stollen by illegal waiters, boss didn’t do anything, she also left. Americans are being destroyed by Mexico and corrupt politicians
Congress has turned a blind eye on illegal immigration for years and years. They seem to enjoy giving out amnesty every few years ( 7 since 1986 ) and they are pushing for another one just as soon as the mid-term elections are over. In addition to ignoring illegal immigration, congress finds a reason every so often to increase legal immigration. Legal immigration used to be around 450,000 – 500,000 anually now with the great wisdom of our politicans we now allow approximately 1.3 million a year to immigrate to America.
Bottom line now to STOP this fiasco, we need TERM LIMITS… CALL YOUR TWO SENATORS AND YOUR REP. AND DEMAND THEY PUSH FOR TERM LIMITS!
they should not be released unless it is to a family member who is a legal citizen and then if they dont keep track of that uac the person it was released to should be held accountable. no releasing one illegal to another illegal period!
Richard Boyle, you probably don’t pay taxes and are on welfare. You sound like a pussy. Why don’t you move to a nice border town and tell me what you think then, you useless pos. 🙂
We have way too many illegals in America and are facing problems of all sorts.
I am beside myself with Congress, I think the American People should drive to Washington, take all members of Congress outside and publicly whip their bare butts with a leather strap and then send them home. They are doing NOTHING about this problem.
Make no mistake, all of this is planned why Democratic Party to create a new class of voters!!
I am beside myself with Congress for doing NOTHING about this problem. We must vote all existing members out and replace them with true Americans. Make no mistake, this is a planned move to create a whole new class of lock-step voters. We should lock down the southern border, delete all sanctuary city officials, deport all people who are illegal, stop all welfare funding. We are losing our Country to invaders.
We need to contact our Government Officials and tell them if they don’t get the border wall approved immediately, stop supporting DACA, stop the support of Sanctuary cities, and attempt to deport all illegals before the upcoming election we are going to vote them out. That is language they understand and then we need to do it.
