Obama: Immigrants Are Surging To The US Border Because Of Violence In Central America, Not Because Of Amnesty
Immigrants Surging To The Border: Um, No. It's The Amnesty

Some say the humanitarian crisis on the southern border is the result of evergreen violence in places like Guatemala and Honduras. Others say it's because Obama's executive amnesty for "DREAMers" is drawing desperate people here based on a lie.

Others are right. The Border Patrol has interviewed hundreds of immigrants about why they came. Apparently they aren't following Obama's script.

The main reason the subjects chose this particular time to migrate to the United States was to take advantage of the "new" U.S. "law" that grants a "free pass" or permit (referred to as "permisos") being issued by the U.S. government to female adult OTMs [Other Than Mexicans] traveling with minors and to UACs. (Comments: The "permisos" are the Notice to Appear documents issued to undocumented aliens, when they are released on their own recognizance pending a hearing before an immigration judge.) The information is apparently common knowledge in Central America and is spread by word of mouth, and international and local media. A high percentage of the subjects interviewed stated their family members in the U.S. urged them to travel immediately, because the United States government was only issuing immigration "permisos" until the end of June 2014…The issue of "permisos" was the main reason provided by 95% of the interviewed subjects.

But don't worry, the administration has a plan to straighten this all out. They are sending Joe Biden to Guatemala to explain everything to them.

What could go wrong?
