I was under the impression that the thread had to do with the lack of enforcement of EXISTING UNITED STATES LAW, and the strain of our border states. That, and nobody not only gets arrested, but they are allowed to stay.
If this is not considered current events, and if nobody cares, we really have problems.
Now those who find fault wit the sources, I suggest to you, it is news..it is being reported, and if any of those publications lied, you should call them on it...HERE.
I hope this is acceptable....
"Since October 1, 2013, according to the NY Times, a record 47,017 unaccompanied children have been apprehended at the southwest border, a 90% increase over the previous fiscal year, with at least 60,000 total expected by the end of the current fiscal year on September 30.
According to the Times, "Many say they are coming because they believe that the United States treats migrant children traveling alone and women with their children more leniently than adult illegal immigrants with no children." The Times confirms based on interviews with immigration officials and lawyers that there has in fact been a shift in U.S. policy."
Obama's immigration scandals: surge of illegals crossing border, deportable criminals released onto U.S. streets
Note referencing NewYork Times.
From that same article....
"The other immigration scandal, as reported by CBS News and the Washington Times, is the disclosure that despite its stated policy of prioritizing the deportation of aliens with criminal convictions, the Obama administration has in fact released onto U.S. streets 36,007 deportable aliens with criminal convictions in 2013. Those aliens, with no right to remain in the U.S., included 193 homicide convictions, 426 sexual assault convictions, 303 kidnapping convictions, 1,075 aggravated assault convictions, and 1,160 stolen vehicle convictions.
The administration claims that some of the releases were required because the home countries of criminal aliens refuse to accept their own criminal citizens back. But the Obama administration refuses to apply diplomatic pressure on those countries by stopping the issuance of U.S. visas to their citizens, as previous administrations have done with success. And at least 25% of the convicted murderers who are deportable aliens, appear to have been released by the Obama administration on its own initiative."

There has been a steady stream of reports on the caliber of folks we are allowing to flaunt our laws, but not sure what news source might be acceptable.
These folks are not flooding your neighborhood as of yet. I am betting there might be a change of attitude if that were the case.
