Alertan en EU sobre posible
nueva oleada de menores migrantes – Google Translate: Migration: EU Warns of possible new
wave of migrant children - Washington, DC- The director of the Bureau of
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) of the United States, Sarah Saldana
revealed that there is the possibility that a new immigration wave as recorded
last summer record.
"We collected
intelligence and if we could see another (wave) this year," Saldana said
Thursday testifying at a hearing of the Committee on Oversight and Government
Reform of the House of
Representatives.
The ICE has updated its
family facilities to substantially increase the capacity arrest of migrant
families and be better prepared in the event of a further rise in revenues
undocumented migrants said.
According to official
data at least 60,000 migrant children from Central crossed into US territory.
Thursday's hearing was
aimed at reviewing priorities and procedures of ICE to deport aliens with
criminal records currently residing in the United States and constituted the
first public appearance since Saldaña took over as
director of ICE in December.
The official was harshly
criticized by some members of the committee along just over two hours on
guidelines applying ICE to detain and deport immigrants with criminal records.
Republican
Representative Jason Chaffetz Committee Chair asked
whether there Saldaña precise rules for the
deportation of these immigrants or if a "discretionary" approach was
used to do at some point.
"I can say that
notifications are mandatory detention, these are definitely discretionary"
admitted the official.
Chaffetz gave then released a report indicating that about 167,000
foreigners with criminal records remained free on US streets until January,
despite being considered as a priority for his arrest and deportation.
"These are people
who are here illegally, who have been arrested, convicted and subsequently
released back to the public," said Chaffetz.
He noted that many of
the crimes committed by these foreigners include murder, sexual abuse, child
pornography, drunk driving and kidnapping.
Saldaña acknowledged the existence of the problem, but I assure ICE
is doing everything possible with the resources available to detain and deport
these individuals.

zonas de cruce por altas temperaturas - El Sol de México (Mexico City 3/27/15) reports that
migrants planning Illegal border crossing in the western Sonora desert are
aware that in a few weeks they will have to seek other crossing zones because
of the risk of high temperatures. Mexican Immigration (INM) and other
organizations have begun a campaign to advise the migrant population about the
dangers of extreme temperatures in the region. The US Border Patrol in
Tucson is also expected to issue warnings.
INM rescata a 39 migrantes en Ecatepec, Edomex;
hay 14 detenidos - Mexican
immigration officials in the central state of Mexico took custody of 39 Central
American migrants and arrested 14 human smugglers. The migrants, from the
usual northern triangle, had been charged between 3,000 and 5,000 dollars each
to be smuggled into the US
700 mil hijos de migrantes sin identidad en México - 700,000 children of migrants without identity in Mexico
Tijuana - In Mexico
there are hundreds of thousands of children born in the United States who today
have no identity in Mexico because they lack documentation. In the state
of Baja California there are between 13 and 15 thousand such cases according to
Mexican officials. There are similar numbers in the eastern border state
of Tamaulipas.
"This is a problem
that no one saw coming," said one official. The children have the
right to be dual nationals for being children of Mexican parents who were
legally or illegally in the US. "The majority of the cases are
children of Mexicans repatriated or voluntarily returned," the official
explained.
It was also noted that
as a result, when the children reach the age of 21, whether living in Mexico or
the the US, they will be able to legally immigrate
their parents to the US.
Comment from a retired
Federal LEO:
The "rest of the
story," regarding the 911 reference: Special interest groups
approached the U.S. Border Patrol demanding that the Border Patrol do more to
prevent "border deaths" in remote stretches of the southwest border
with Mexico. This was in spite of the Border Patrol taking it upon
themselves to train hundreds of agents as collateral EMTs and paramedics;
forming BORSTAR, the BORder Patrol Search, Trauma And
Rescue unit; designing and deploying "Recue Beacon" towers; and
outfitting rotor wing aerial platforms (Blackhawks and Hueys)
with medical/rescue equipment, such as stokes litters, ropes/vertical rescue
material, etc. One last thing they agreed upon: Referrals of
"911" calls for rescue in the desert to be transferred to the Border
Patrol's BORSTAR, search & rescue, medical personnel to expedite the
rescue, and medical response to those remote reaches.
Now, those same groups
who demanded a greater response to saving lives in the desert, to include the
911 rescue call concept, are the very ones complaining about it! What
hypocrisy; in their frenzied attempts to demonize the Border Patrol, as part of
a national, political strategy to demonize American law enforcement in general,
they are now attacking programs of mercy, and rescue. How far will this
leftist agenda be pushed, one should ask?
The U.S. Border Patrol,
for the past couple decades, outstrips all other federal and local agencies in
rescues of a remote, medical response nature, such as hypothermia,
hyperthermia, stranded in canyons, in the desert, heat stroke / heat
prostration, dehydration, and struggling in rivers (Rio Grande River, Colorado
River, St. Lawrence River, St. Clair River, Florida Keys, Puerto Rican coast,
etc.); even "man made" catastrophes such as smugglers rolling trucks
and vans full of smuggled foreign nationals; people suffocating in vehicle trunks
and trailers of tractor-trailer rigs being smuggled into the USA, etc.
That's more than the U.S. Coast Guard; more than the National Park Service
(Grand Canyon, Organ Pipe, etc.); county SAR units, etc.
Even knowing this, they
persist to attack, knowing the gullibility of the press, media and American
public. These groups are politically motivated: the ACLU; the
National Council for LA RAZA ("the Race"); the Mexican-American Legal
Defense Fund (MALDEF); the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC);
the Arab-American Defense League (al Jazeera?); and
the American Communist Party; to name a few.
We --as voting,
taxpaying Americans-- must continue to educate ourselves, and remain curious,
even skeptical, because we cannot depend on the truth from our large,
corporate, leftist media and news sources.
