“Nanny State” Has New Meaning with Invasion from the South

“A refugee is a person who is unable or unwilling to return to their country of nationality because of persecution or a well-founded fear of persecution on account of race, religion, nationality, political opinions, or membership in a particular group.”
– USLegal,Inc.

The thousands of unaccompanied illegal aliens, supposedly minors, streaming across the Mexican border came from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvadore. Those surrendering directly to the border patrol are classified as “refugees,” though they don’t qualify, and are taken into custody by the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Refugee Resettlement in cooperation with the Departments of Defense and Homeland Security.

Those who do not surrender to U.S. agents proceed into the population and are not counted in the 57,000 “unaccompanied minors” and 40,000 illegal alien women with children that have entered illegally since October 1, 2013. The illegal alien minors referred to DHHS are redistributed across the U.S. and given state-licensed care, classroom education, medical health services, case management, socialization and recreation, as well as placement services.

At this writing, they’re housed in nine facilities, ten locations have refused to take them and ten other destinations are being proposed. Aliens that have not been transported elsewhere are processed into temporary facilities, while the U.S. is scoured for additional places to send them.

In recent months, the administration has released an untold number into the U.S., telling them to voluntarily report to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement offices, although many don’t return for their hearing. A former head of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, now second-in-command at ICE, said he didn’t know how many have been released or how many returned as ordered. About half of the minors processed are NOT sent back home.  (Download the newsletter for the remainder of the article.)
