Obama Released 52K Illegal
Alien Kids Into the US in FY2016, by Kristie McDonald, 10/22/16,
Anyone
remember when Jeh Johnson vowed that our borders weren’t open to illegal
immigration, or when President Obama promised that anyone who recently crossed
into the U.S. from Mexico wouldn’t be allowed to stay?
The lie
detector test determined: those were lies. According
to recently released data reviewed by MRCTV, the Department of Homeland
released another 52,147 illegal alien kids into the United States in fiscal
year 2016, averaging about 149 per day. Processed as “refugees,” these children
are in many cases sent to a family member who’s also here illegally.
A total
of 5,203 kids were released in September alone, based on the numbers ORR
released in August. Not only
is the year-end number shocking in its size alone, it’s also nearly double the
number of kids the administration released in FY2015, when 27,840 unaccompanied
minors were sent to sponsors in the United States.
FY2016’s
total was also just shy of the 53,515 kids released in FY2014, after a massive
surge of unaccompanied minors flooded the Southwest U.S. border and quickly
overwhelmed a shocked border patrol.
In total, the
Office of Refugee Resettlement reports it released 133,502 unaccompanied
children into the United States between FY2014 and FY2016, an average of about
122 children per day. Based on
2015-16 enrollment data, the number of illegal alien kids sent to live in the
United States in the last three years would fill up 240 Washington, D.C. public
middle schools.
States with
the highest influx of unaccompanied children were California, Florida, New
York, Maryland, Texas and Virginia. Texas alone has received 17,231
unaccompanied minors sent courtesy of the federal government over the past
three years, while California came in a close second at 16,841.
President
Obama’s home state of Hawaii, however, has only received 14 kids in that time
frame.
