Amnesty Border Boosters Meeting In Secret With Congress

Fat chance that anyone can prevail upon the activists pushing amnesty for the children fleeing Central America to press for refugee camps outside of all major U.S. cities whose children are left vulnerable in their staggering crime rates

Leaders of leftist activist organizations seeking blanket amnesty for more than 52,000 unaccompanied children flooding the American border are about to step out of the shadows into the spotlight.

Having already labeled the ongoing border surge as “a humanitarian crisis right here on our doorstep”, the activists are holding a congressional briefing, 10:30 a.m., July 8, in Senate Dirksen Room 226(Judiciary Hearing Room).  The briefing is limited to Senate staff and is closed to media.

The speaker’s list, touted as “a panel of experts” includes outspoken border pass boosters who will argue that it is the violent conditions of Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala that are driving children to flee Central America,  as well as provide context to the children’s treatment upon arrival in the U.S.

“The US is facing a humanitarian crisis right here on our doorstep. Since October more than 52,000 unaccompanied children and 39,000 families with children have been apprehended at the U.S.-Mexico border.  Many of these children have fled severe violence and abuse in Central America and have made long, treacherous journeys to the U.S. in search of safety and protection.” (The American Civil Liberties Union, ACLU, July 3, 2014—See Below)

The activists have, at least ostensibly, bought into President Barack Obama’s claim that he is seeking emergency funding and expanded powers to expedite deportations of children back to Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala.

Residents of Murrieta, California and citizens overwhelmed by the surge in other American cities are not holding their breath waiting.

The July 8 speakers’s list is a Who’s Who of FaceBook Mark Zuckerberg-style amnesty and border pass boosterism:

No one really knows whether any one in the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops is praying for the potential chaos and anarchy of the surge,  but Kevin Appleby, Director, Office of Migration Policy and Public Affairs, USCCB,  justifies the current mass youth migration because “violence” in their home countries is the “overriding factor” of their surge.

“We would say the difference-maker here is the increase in violence over the last three to five years, driven by the gangs and narco-traffickers in the region who prey upon young kids in their homes, on the streets, in their schools. It’s hard to escape them. They are so pervasive in those communities,” said Appleby. (Aleteia.org, June 25, 2014)

“A combination of other factors, which Appleby described as a “perfect storm,” is also contributing to the youth migration, according to the USCCB analysis.
