Children Swarming Southern Border Prove A Test To Obama’s Immigration Policy

Children traveling without their families, including an “overwhelming” number younger than 12, are flooding across the southwestern border in the latest test of the Obama administration’s immigration policy.

Homeland Security Officials predict that 60,000 minors will cross the border this year and that the number will double next year, accounting for an astonishing percentage of people trying to jump the border — braving the tremendous perils of crossing Mexico and trying to evade border authorities, hoping to eventually connect with family in the U.S

The administration seems powerless to stop most of the border breaches and instead has searched for ways to manage the flow of vulnerable, and politically sympathetic, immigrants.

This is sick. I say they are illegal and their parents should be picked off with high powered rifles when they cross the border illegally.

60000 is out of date. The updated number is 120000 of children are expected to cross the border now. Homeland security is asking for more money, they do not deport these children, they "link" them with family members who are already here.

The sign says "keep families together" and I agree. When they come over and get caught here, they all should be made to walk back the same way they came in. All of them!

They are children running from a horrible country hoping to find better here. Just as many your families did. Why is there so much damn hate on the eastern shore. You are the most miserable bunch of people I've ever seen. Yet you all would like to be the ones in charge. Imagine what a wonderful world that would be (not).
