U.S. Moves to Stop Surge in Illegal Immigration
From the article:
White House officials, saying that misinformation about administration policies helped drive a surge of illegal migrants from Central America across the South Texas border, on Friday announced plans to detain more of them and to accelerate their court cases so as to deport them more quickly.
In Guatemala, Mr. Biden met with that country’s president, Otto Pérez Molina; the president of El Salvador, Salvador Sánchez Cerén; and senior officials from Honduras and Mexico. But Mr. Biden got a taste of the disconnect the United States often has with regional leaders, who fault the failure of American immigration policy for driving children to join their parents in the United States no matter the cost. In his public remarks, Mr. Pérez Molina, while recognizing that the American Congress has to act, reiterated a request for a temporary worker program and a way for Guatemalans living in the United States illegally to be able to stay.
Mr. Biden ignored those points in his comments and emphasized the social causes of the migration.
Since there are no detention facilities for families in the Rio Grande Valley, the Border Patrol has been releasing them without bond, giving them only an order to appear in immigration court for deportation hearings and allowing them to travel to relatives living in the United States.

Ummmmm, I wonder if the order to appear in immigration court is in English, ha. I kid. But really, this situation can't stand, we need to reform our immigrations laws. People need to understand that you either immigrate legally or you don't migrate at all. Border security enforcement needs to swift and absolute.
I wonder what gave credibility to the criminals organizations propaganda that illegals immigrants could stay here. Your thoughts on this whole unfortunate situation?
