Border Crisis preplanned?

Was this administration complicit in this? I don't know, but nothing would surprise me. One thing for sure, our "free press" will do NOTHING to ferret out the truth.

Unaccompanied minors started hitting the border in 2011, but they became big numbers in October 2013, and increased rapidly every month sure that. It didn't take a mathematical genius, or even a calculator, to estimate the future numbers, especially taking into account the US intelligence data being gathered in Central America.

Right on the money; so it would stand to reason that the Obama administration has had plenty of time to figure out ways to stem the tide of illegal, unaccompanied children and whomever else is coming across the border with them. Instead they choose to do nothing, and now have a "humanitarian crisis" on thier hands which they obviously don't want to be wasted.

Yep. Instead of putting forth any effort at all to prevent what they knew was coming, they did nothing and let it happen. It's almost as if they wanted it to happen because they saw it as an opportunity rather than a problem to be dealt with.

I do think that this one may very well the the straw on the open borders. The American people want the borders closed, but no one else in Washington does. Every time the talk of securing the borders come up, the talking points shift to two things: The border is safer than it's ever been in history (kind of like this is the most transparent presidency in history, just keep repeating it and people will eventually believe it), and immigration reform that deals with immigrants already here, a path to citizenship, amnesty, whatever. People are tired of hearing and those inside the Beltway may be forced to do something, if only in the short term until it leaves the American memory.

On a related note, here's an article that expounds on the horrific violence and living conditions these kids and others face in the Central American countries. From The Latin Post

It's a real eye-opener.
