So why didnt we see a sudden exponential influx of unaccompanied Children when violence went up in south america the last dozen times?
Because the pull factor in this case did not exist in those cases. Surely you had to study some demography, if only as an elective, on your way to a commerce degree?
The pull factor being implied amnesty for children, coupled with a total lack of enforcement of deportation laws?
The only thing that changed in terms of demography was the liberal idea that we should give all minors citizenship. Its not like South America was this peaceful continent before.
I know you want this to be all about liberals and Obama, but it isn't.
Don't Blame Central American Newspapers For Influx Of Undocumented Children
Posted: 06/12/2014 2:38 pm EDT Updated: 06/12/2014 2:59 pm EDT
"A new conservative talking point holds that Central American newspapers are inaccurately reporting on U.S. immigration policy, thereby creating a stampede of undocumented minors over the U.S.-Mexico border. But an examination of those newspapers shows the picture is more complicated than that.
"The number of unaccompanied minors apprehended while crossing illegally into the country has shot up from less than 7,000 in 2011 to an estimated 70,000 for the current year, according to the Department of Health and Human Services -- with most of them coming from Central America.
"Prominent conservatives, including Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.), are blaming that surge on President Barack Obama's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA, which allows many undocumented immigrants who arrived here as children to avoid deportation for a renewable two-year period.
"Critics say that DACA created the mistaken impression -- then repeated by Central American news media -- that minors who arrived in the U.S. illegally would be allowed to stay. In fact, only undocumented minors who arrived prior to June 2012, when the White House first announced DACA, are eligible for the program.
"The White House rejects the idea that rumors of lenient treatment for minors have spurred the wave of migration, saying the uptick in unaccompanied minors crossing the border illegally is instead a result of rampant violence and poverty in Central America. Nevertheless, the Obama administration is now urging Spanish-language media to make it clear that minors who illegally immigrate to the U.S. today won't be able to benefit.
"We have public messaging campaigns designed to educate and inform individuals about the dangers of crossing without the proper documents," a White House official told The Huffington Post in an email. "We are also underscoring with Hispanic media both in the U.S. and in sending countries that recent migrants are not eligible for DACA or pending immigration legislation."
"A Huffington Post review of Spanish-language and Latin American news reports found that while the region's newspapers often failed to emphasize the June 2012 cutoff date, they otherwise covered DACA accurately and included enough detail about the program to raise serious doubts that newly arrived migrants would be eligible.
"Moreover, HuffPost found, Central American news media routinely portray Obama as tough on immigration, instead of creating the sense that the administration welcomes the undocumented.
"Newspaper reporting from the region on DACA at the time the policy went into effect did not generally emphasize that those who entered after June of 2012 wouldn't benefit, though the reports often noted that applicants had to have lived continuously in the United States for five years.
"More recent reporting about DACA in the leading papers for the region do not, by and large, contain factual inaccuracies, but they also rarely mention that the program excludes those who arrived after the cutoff date. "

haha...yeah sure they do. What a fucking joke!
Come on man, you are not stupid enough to believe this is just random, are you saying its a coincidence that all these people showed up right when they started pitching amnesty for kids?
Your argument is akin to saying that corn farmers just so happened to start growing more corn when we started subsidising it, what are the odds?
Why didnt we see this influx of kids with the escalation of drug violence in mexico over the last half decade?
"Recent migrants are not eligible for DACA". Apparently a lot of children think they will be, sadly.
