"During the decade preceding fiscal year 2012, the federal government agency tasked with caring for unaccompanied minors who cross the border illegally dealt with an average of 7,000 to 8,000 cases a year, according to a Department of Health and Human Services fact sheet. In fiscal year 2011, the number was 6,560.
The following year, however, the number jumped to 13,625. This fiscal year, which ends Sept. 30, 2014, federal officials are estimating that the number could be 80,000, according to an internal memo cited by The New York Times."
Where is this "reuniting" children with parents to which pjstroh referred? 80,000 minors may cross the border alone this year; the parents are still somewhere south of the border, . . . pr'bly beyond the southern Mexican border.
DonDiego still cannot figure it out.
Does pjstroh think this'll all turn out well?
