Buckwheat's Mouth - Reason For Border Crisis

Mike

Well-known member
A new intelligence assessment concludes that misperceptions about U.S. immigration policy – and not Central American violence – are fueling the surge of thousands of children illegally crossing the Mexican border.

The 10-page July 7 report was issued by the El Paso Intelligence Center (EPIC), which according to the Justice Department website is led by the DEA and incorporates Homeland Security. Its focus is on the collection and distribution of tactical intelligence, information which can immediately be acted on by law enforcement.

"Of the 230 migrants interviewed, 219 cited the primary reason for migrating to the United States was the perception of U.S. immigration laws granting free passes or permisos to UAC (unaccompanied children) and adult females OTMs (other than Mexicans) traveling with minors,” the report said.

Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart, R-Fla., told reporters Tuesday, "It's a critical situation and if we don't deal with it urgently but well- done right- then we're facing a crisis of just huge proportions."

Diaz-Balart, who along with other lawmakers just visited Central America, described how human smugglers -- known as coyotes - are exploiting perceived changes to U.S. immigration law after the Obama administration decided in 2012 to practice prosecutorial discretion in cases where individuals were brought into the U.S. illegally as minors.

"The violence isn't new. The situation in those countries is not new," Diaz-Balart said. "These cartels have seen a weakness in the system. They've seen statements coming from the administration that they have used in order to just frankly increase the number of people coming over.

“Remember this is not a five-year-old or an 11-year-old can't just walk over the border and get to the United States. These are organized coyotes doing this.”

The intelligence assessment, which is unclassified but not meant to go beyond law enforcement, also cited data from the United Nations office on Drugs and Crime Statistics saying despite an explosion in the number of illegal minors, crime data for Central America actually showed a dip in violence.

"There's no doubt the message went out- go across border now the United States won't do anything about it," said Rep. Kay Granger, R-Texas. "That came primarily from the coyotes who were transporting these kids. These coyotes - it really was something we weren't prepared for - they sort of advertised themselves, actually advertise, as social workers- we're gonna help you take your kids out of the poverty and the danger they have in these countries and put them in the United States, where they'll receive an education and be taken care of. And that was the message."

A draft chart obtained separately by Fox News, and circulating on Capitol Hill, showed data from Homeland Security projects that if current trends continue, as many as 90,000 illegal children will enter the U.S. by the end of this year and nearly double that,160,000, next year.

"We need a combination of things, want to swiftly and humanely return them to their home, said Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas, chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee. “Only until we do that will we stop the flow. So we need a message of deterrence."

While customs and border protection officials issued no statement about the intelligence report, Homeland Security officials stressed that a combination of factors, including a bad economy and security concerns, were behind the surge. Earlier this month, a media campaign was launched by the U.S. government in Central America to combat misperceptions about American laws.

It's past time to end homeland security


In the United States, the concept of "Homeland Security" extends and recombines responsibilities of government agencies and entities. According to Homeland security research, the U.S. federal Homeland Security and Homeland Defense includes 187 federal agencies and departments, including the United States National Guard, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the United States Coast Guard, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, the United States Secret Service, the Transportation Security Administration, the 14 agencies that constitute the U.S. intelligence community and Civil Air Patrol. Although many businesses now operate in the area of homeland security, it is overwhelmingly a government function.

The George W. Bush administration consolidated many of these activities under the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS), a new cabinet department established as a result of the Homeland Security Act of 2002.

I have to agree with you... I've long said that it gives too much power to one Department and the right hand still doesn't know what the left hand is doing... It just gives them more wiggle room to deny responsibility...

Another of GW's failures........

I'd say it's your boy's failure more so than W's. Your boy has owned it for six years now. The chickens are coming home to roost.

The Homeland Security Act (HSA) of 2002, (Pub.L. 107–296, 116 Stat. 2135, enacted November 25, 2002) was introduced in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks and subsequent mailings of anthrax spores. The HSA was cosponsored by 118 members of Congress. It was signed into law by President George W. Bush in November 2002.

HSA created the United States Department of Homeland Security and the new cabinet-level position of Secretary of Homeland Security. It is the largest federal government reorganization since the Department of Defense was created via the National Security Act of 1947 (as amended in 1949). It also includes many of the organizations under which the powers of the USA PATRIOT Act are exercised.

But it was George W. Bush that signed into law the Act and did the reorganization that gave us the bureaucracy we have today called Homeland Security... Just like it was Richard M. Nixon that proposed and created (by executive order) the monster that became todays E.P.A. ...

Which is what always makes me chuckle when Republicans say they are against "big government".... :wink: :p :lol: :lol:

Did you say something about the messiah that he can't defend? Then Yes, it's a given. What is amazing is his ability to try to include bush ~ 98.5% of the time while diverting the subject of the thread- Obama rewriting intelligence AGAIN.

Get off it, Fatman. Your boy has owned Homeland Security just as long as W. Your boy has a phone and a pen, and he's damn sure shown lately that he's not afraid to use them. When are you going to realize that your boy has to accept responsibility for his actions? Next you'll imagine if your boy went to fart and shat his pants instead that the fault would lie with Bush.

It was pointed out to you earlier that you voted for them BOTH. You have no trouble finding fault with Bush. Now, be the "Devil's Advocate", like you profess to be and find some fault with your boy. You won't have to look very far.

OT's really big on accepting responsibility for one's acts which is why he blames Bush for everything six years after he left office. :roll:

According to this report from Ashly Custer, at KGBT Action 4 News Harlingen, over a thousand illegal aliens are currently being processed daily at the McAllen Border Patrol station, but hardly any of them children. Indeed, as this report indicates, on the high end, McAllen gets as many as 1,300 illegals daily, but just six children were being processed there in the last 72 hours, a tiny fraction.
