Governor Rick Perry stated that unaccompanied alien children are 20% of those illegally crossing the border. Presumably this includes all nationalities not just the Central American surge. Word is out that under Obama getting the foot in the door is key and that Obama will continue to wave laws and issue edicts giving them “permiso “ (allowing them to stay indefinitely) and eventually “Dreamer” benefits . The liberal media and essentially open border welfare pimps like Mayor Gluba prefer leaving the impression that the surge is comprised of mostly wandering waifs — Veritaspac says: Keep in mind that “children” officially includes minors up to age 18. Common sense suggests that the overwhelming majority of them are 14 – 17.

Imagine the backlog when every young illegal not only gets an asylum hearing but has an experienced lawyer working procedural magic to delay those hearings as long as possible. Could the backlog reach 10 years? At that point you might as well skip the hearings altogether and amnestize the kids as they enter the country, as there’ll be virtually no way to find them and enforce the orders by the time they’re issued. Which, again, is the desired outcome. Grassroots righties like to accuse lefties of following the Cloward-Piven strategy in all manner of things, but it really is apt here. The goal is to undermine border enforcement as much as possible. That means is overloading that system, replete with new legal procedures, to the point where it can’t cope so that a more left-wing system replaces it. It’s working.

Sarah Palin: Why Aren’t Illegals Sent to Mark Zuckerberg’s Neighborhood?

Rather than putting illegal immigrant children into middle-class communities, the federal government should be moving them into exclusive liberal enclaves where residents are pro-amnesty — such as Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg or Microsoft founder Bill Gates — former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin said Saturday at the Western Conservative Summit in Colorado.
Good for Perry for blowing up the talking point that this is just a surge of children. I posted a comment here last week saying that from living in Texas and watching local coverage that it was clear most of these illegals were adults. About time the truth starts to come out. Be interesting to see how the MSM pushing the “children” angle counters this.
