Thousands
of illegal immigrant children, who somehow made the arduous journey from
Central America, have arrived in the United States. The sheer number of illegal
border crossings by minors, who are reported to have made the trek to the U.S.
unaccompanied by parents or guardians, has severely strained the capacity of
the U.S. Border Patrol’s detention facilities in South Texas. In order to
adequately house the children, officials have had to resort to the use of
warehouses and military bases, some of which are located out of state.
In
the 2009 fiscal year, the total number of children detained by border patrol
agents amounted to about 3,000. About 6,000 unaccompanied children crossed the
border illegally in 2011. Now, astoundingly, projections for the year 2014 put
the number of children who will come here illegally at around 90,000.
A
surprising number of politicians and scores of mainstream media professionals
are conditioning the public mindset to believe that, somehow on their own, the
illegal immigrant children were able to navigate the 1,800-mile distance it
took to get through the Mexican badlands to United States safety. However, mere
common sense would dictate that moving such a large number of children from
point A to point B would necessitate some type of organized logistical support.
