Md., Va., D.C. high on list of places taking in youths who’ve crossed the Mexican border

The Washington region’s robust Central American community has taken in a relatively large percentage of the tens of thousands of children who have been detained at the U.S.-Mexico border this year, federal statistics show.

Since January, about 4,600 children have been sent to live temporarily with family or guardians in Virginia, Maryland and the District, amid a historic wave of illegal immigration from Central America.

In all, 30,340 children from Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras have been placed with sponsors nationwide while their deportation cases are pending — part of an effort to manage what has become a political crisis that includes a last-ditch effort in Congress to pass new legislation on border security before the summer recess.

Several thousand more Central American minors who have no relatives or potential guardians in the United States have been sent to shelters inside military installations and centers operated by nonprofit groups.

Why is this government so anxious to make the US a third world country?

It has something to do with the leveling out process.Not to lessen the status of the US,but to make all countries the same.The master plan appears to be a lot bigger than Obama himself.A one world government heaven forbid.Full court press ahead.

9:31 Then you have to depend on them, making them stronger. What makes them idiots, is the fact that once they break the 50% mark, of tax paying citizens versus tax leaching citizens, the entire system crumbles and you end up another failed lesson in running a country. It's easier to TAKE than to MAKE. Lazy people will keep taking.

We are nearing 50% on the shore. Stand at the front of any grocery store. You will see Independence cards 3:1 over a regular credit/debit/cash. Maybe more.

9:31 It's because Obama was placed in office to destroy our economy, our military, and our rights.
