Today, Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson will travel to Nogales, Arizona to visit U.S. Customs and Border Protection facilities to view the ongoing government-wide response to the influx of unaccompanied children across the southwest border. The Department provided no other details.
With a growing mountain of circumstantial evidence it appears likely our federal government participated in the influx of illegal aliens. From all anecdotal evidence, most of the crossings have occurred in the Reynosa and McAllen part of the Rio Grande River, but there is no evidence of enhanced security of that section of the border.
First reported by the weaselzippers.us and confirmed by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to the request of TheBlaze. You can see the Federal Business Opportunities website asked for Escort Services for Unaccompanied Alien Children for the Department of Homeland Security back on January 29, 2014. The Federal Business Opportunities website is a website that advertises government contract openings and has now pulled down the advertisement.
How could of DHS known it would have an influx of illegal aliens and that it would need additional escort services in January before the surge had started? Other outlets have reported that the request specifically cited 65,000 illegal children, but how could such an exact number be known?
Last week during a tour of the Nogales, Arizona Border Patrol facility housing the illegal children, it was very clear that this facility and process wasn’t just put together over night, but planned and organized. While journalists were not allowed to ask any questions on the tour, the facility was massive and it was very clear that the outside contractors’ work took considerable time and resources in order to accommodate so many illegals entrants.
According to officials, after the children are processed at the center they are handed over to the Office of Refugee Resettlement:
The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) provides new populations with opportunities to maximize their potential in the United States, linking people in need to critical resources to assist them in becoming integrated members of American society.”
According to Thinkprogress.com, “Once apprehended, minors are placed with the U.S. Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), an U.S. Health and Human Services agency that takes custody of minors while their cases are being adjudicated. While the majority of minors from Mexico are returned without being detained, some children are kept in adult detention centers.”
Thinkprogress.com reports, “The rate of border-crossing minors tripled since 2008 to the point that in 2012, unaccompanied minors comprised 79 percent of all juvenile border crossers. The majority of the children who are given visas to stay in the United States are not from Mexico, but from the Central American countries of Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras.”
Given the reported advertising that occurred in Central America, and tracking of population movements by the governments along the route to the U.S., it has to be clear to the federal government that the mass migration was on the increase, and not a humanitarian crisis generated caused by sudden change of circumstances.
The main priority of the Obama administration and the political establishment in D.C. is to pass amnesty for the 15+ million illegal aliens in the country. As the administration claims that the recent migrants will be deported, all signs indicate otherwise. While the DHS has ignored requests for information about the Border Patrol Facility in Nogales, Arizona by the ADI, sources within local government in Pima County report that state officials have been preparing for the resettlement, and not the deportation of the Nogales center detainees.
The reality of how this invasion began may not be known, but clearly there is more to the story.
