The most recent DHS projection as to how many illegal unaccompanied minors will have arrived here by September 30: 90,000. But what are the percentages and head counts for the following (recent figures, of course)?
1. How many of the illegal border surgers are in the age brackets of 1 year-5 years of age?
2. How many of the illegal border surgers are in the age brackets of 6 years-10 years of age?
3. How many of the illegal border surgers are in the age brackets of 11 years-13 years of age?
4. How many of the illegal border surgers are in the age brackets of 14 years-17 years of age?
Can anybody reading this blog post find some answers?
Addendum:
A commenter at Infidel Bloggers Alliance offered this comment when I cross-posted to that blog site:
ReplyDelete"I don't know the numbers, but remember the largest group is in the 14 to 17 age bracket."
From today's lead editorial in the WaPo:
ReplyDelete...The fact is that since he entered office, shortly after the 2008 law took effect, the number of undocumented youths deported or turned back at border posts has plummeted, according to government figures released to the Los Angeles Times.
Mr. Obama has come under intense pressure from Democrats and immigration advocates to continue this leniency. They make their argument on humanitarian grounds. But there is nothing humanitarian in tacitly encouraging tens of thousands of children to risk their lives, often at the hands of cutthroat smugglers, to enter this country illegally.
AMEN!
DeleteAs a person who gives generously to the less fortunate on a routine basis, and has never been able to pass up a stray kitten or a lost puppy without trying to do something to help it, I suppose i should be on the side of the "liberals" on this issue. Maybe, but THIS disgusting mess has all the earmarks of a PUT UP JOB, and it STINKS to high heaven.
ReplyDeleteThe fiendish manipulators and master baiters who comprise the cadre of Leftist Agitators and Activists is once again CYNICALLY EXPLOITING yet-another tragically underprivileged group in order to gain political leverage. I have great sympathy for these poor children, -- regardless of what age they may be, -- BUT they are merely being USED as PAWNS in yet-another vicious Power Grab.
Somehow, leftists ALWAYS manage to portray the TRUE targets of their machinations as "cold, unfeeling, uncaring uncharitable, greedy, selfish monsters" when it is the LEFTISTS, themselves, who have CREATED the crisis to begin with.
Consequently, IF we natural-born American citizens DARE to speak up in defense of our territorial integrity and legal rights as citizens, WE get branded as "vicious" Racists, Bigots, Nativists, would-be-Klansmen –– you name it.
I don't know about YOU, but I am sick and tired of being VICTIMIZED by these swaggering, scheming, disingenuous, self-righteous, hypocritical, game-playing FIENDS.
[And YES, to those querulous, nitpicking busybodies, who make a career spying on many blogs in the hope of finding a good excuse to pounce on perceived violations of "netiquette," this IS a sanitized, lightly emended repetition of remarks I posted at Western Hero earlier this morning.

FT,
DeleteThank you for that excellent comment.
Yes, this recent border surge is an invasion and has all the earmarks of a PUT UP JOB, and it STINKS to high heaven.
I know that I am a tough ol' broad. However, like you, I do have a heart for "strays." But, realistically, no household can take in too many strays.
FT, You are describing the progressive bloggers, why don't you just say it! Are you afraid that Ms. Shaw will be mad at you?
DeleteI personally am tired of these maladjusted morons like Jersey, and Liberamann, and the other creeps like Jerry Creature, and other stooges from that progressive blog coming here with their LIES, and filthy stories.
We need to treat them as the psychopaths they are.!
These Liberals seem to destroy our politicians before they even get a chance to run, they flourish on doing that. Liberals Are Ruining America, YOU know it and I know it. So, lets move on. There’s work to do.
If what I said sounds like a harsh assessment, trust me, it needs to be said..,
Yes! We can't afford to have our entire country becpme the moral equivalent of one of those pathetic, deranged "Animal Hoarders" who live with fifty or more dogs or cats they can't afford to feed or take to the vet all crammed into a trailer stinking of urine and feces piled up ankle deep. And THAT is EXACTLY what the lefti would have us do.

DeleteAs a person who is certainly not a liberal and most definitely not a progressive, Id like to throw my 2 cents into the story. Instead of spending most of my time wasted on watching the silliness of the World Cup or what Ms. Obama is eating these days, I am deeply concerned with what is going on at our Boarders. I try to look for a source that is non-partisan.
ReplyDeleteAnd I try my best not to even read anything that Attorney General Eric Holder has to suggest, as i already know that he is a puppet who has the prresident pulling his strings on a daily basis.
What we have going on these days at the southern border is a true and actual crisis, of major concern . News accounts justly use words like chaos, collapse and breakdown, And all we see from the Great One seems to be a total lack of concern, His concern seems to be more with fund-raising and vacations then solving this mess that he himself has created. And there we have it.
It's really too bad the veterans have again become a political football by what appears to me on the presidents back burner .
This is why I find the democratic party absolutely disgusting! They'd rather play politics with people's lives (in this case vets). There are way too many times both put party over country.
Also We talk about 9/11 everyday but we never talk about the possibility of another attack by allowing these people into our country by the lack of concern at our Boarders!
We just recently release 5 of the most dangerous terrorist in the world in exchange for ONE lousy Deserter, where is the sense in that? It's plain nonsense !
I would only hope people don't get suckered into another war by the actions of this inept president..Stupid is stupid, regardless of whether the president is a liberal or a progressive, one is as stupid as the other. For heavens sakes, enforce our immigration laws. We do not need amnesty without enforcing immigration laws will only lead to more problems and more expenses for our already over taxed citizens. Americans are compassionate but their own poor come first and enough is enough already.There is already a job supply problem in America, as well as a drug problem. We don’t need any more.
Very Upset,

Additional information received:
ReplyDelete80% are boys (men).
83% are 14 years old or older.
Okay, I just got sent this link:
ReplyDeleteMore than 60,000 children are expected to cross into the United States in 2014, according to Border Patrol officials. Between Oct. 1 and Sept. 30 2013, only 4,474 children apprehended in the Rio Grande Valley were accompanied by adults, compared to more than 21,000 children who crossed unaccompanied, according to internal Border Patrol figures obtained by TheBlaze. There were 128,426 adults apprehended in that same sector during the same time period, straining law enforcement resources.

ReplyDeleteFor the first time in my adult life I’m REALLY ASHAMED of my country.
At a time when our country is literally Going To Hell In A Hand Basket. On the president’s trip to Texas, President Obama, DID NOT go to the Boarder where all hell is breaking out. And with ALL the scandals, all over the news headlines, With Political Correctness completely, with our economy going down the drain and with China and to a Arab nations are buying up business and property in the United States out of control, with our national debt at unprecedented levels, with the lies and cover-ups from Lois Learner’s emails and the IRS at a point where the entire country is sick and tired of these falsities. with Hillary Clinton’s manufacturing lie after lie. The Dear Leader made a surprise stop at Austin's Franklin Barbecue. Now isn’t that special!
Since he was on his way to the airport and in a bit of a rush, he cut in line ... but he made up for it: He quickly apologized to those he'd cut in front of and bought their lunch.
According to the Dallas News, Obama said "Hey guys! I hear the barbecue is pretty good here. Is that true? I know this is a long line. I feel real bad, but – I'm gonna cut."
When it was time to pay, the president took out some cash. After noticing the order cost more than $300, Obama took out his credit card and asked his trip director Marvin Nicholson if the card would work.......If I lived in Russia, maybe I’d think that was funny! But sorry not now and not here!
On another note, Any government which tries to take the guns from its citizens are not “looking out” for its citizens…
Sounds like something Hitler would have said while trying to convince us to “trust him”.
Progressives, Ignorance is your middle name!
Really good rant -- especially this part:
Delete"And with ALL the scandals, all over the news headlines, With Political Correctness completely, with our economy going down the drain and with China and to a Arab nations are buying up business and property in the United States out of control..."
When you have a chance, could you translate that into American English?
The criticism is not about the "few word in his rant," and it's "no about his grammar." It's about trying to make sense out of the word salad he served up here.
DeleteDo you know if the gentleman or gentlewoman is a native speaker or not?
Lol! This coming from someone who can't spell "border."
DeleteL'mann,
DeleteYou have no room to talk about anyone else's spelling or syntax errors.
Don’t you think that It’s time to stop blindly agreeing, and endorsing this president’s illegal and UN-American agenda by refusing to hold him accountable and even praise him for it? The question is whether the democrats will join the republicans in enforcing the law, upholding our constitution, and hold this President accountable for his actions!
ReplyDeleteRottweiler,
DeleteIt’s time to stop blindly agreeing, and endorsing this president’s illegal and UN-American agenda by refusing to hold him accountable...
How can WE THE PEOPLE hold him accountable? Our so-called elected public servants hold us in contempt and pay no attention to our letters, emails, faxes, phone calls, etc.
I don't see Obama voluntarily stopping the active implementation of his agenda.
November is months away, and the swearing in of elected public servants doesn't take place until 2015.
So, even if there is a huge change in the Senate, the delay is substantial.
The question is whether the democrats will join the republicans in enforcing the law, upholding our constitution, and hold this President accountable for his actions!
I don't see that happening. Do you?
It's amazing to me that the insulting, and making all these comical and satirical remarks about a sitting president is just fine and dandy, and acceptable, when just a few years ago, was so UN-accepted...now it is?. I guess the rules change when the President changes to a Liberal President?
ReplyDeleteThis situation seems to be a grand example of 'unintended consequences' of a law, intended, to protect against 'sex slavery'. As such, the [law] should be changed to interdict the present and growing immigration carnage before it continues to spin, further, out-of-control!

ReplyDeleteWhy was it that with ALL the signs of incompetence so clearly shown by Obama, the American voters still reelected him despite a first term that included all his policies that put America at jeopardy, both economially and militarily. Apparently these uninformed people made no connection between facts and his competence. As for the voters who stayed home because they didn’t care for the opponent that ran against Obama (Romney) they are just as much to blame as those who voted for this misery we now have in the White House. .

ReplyDeleteMaybe the crazies in the Liberal Party, the Democratic party, the Progressive party, will form a new party and call it the Libertarian Party. Or maybe the Crazy Lefties will become the a Sane Party? Naw, thats asking much too much.
See this photo of the border surgers. These individuals are clearly not children.
ReplyDeleteIf this photo of a train that derailed yesterday in southern Mexico is any indication, the majority of this surge of illegals are, at least, in the upper of your age brackets.
ReplyDeleteWhy do you want to know the "age brackets" of these refugees?

Mae Hemme said
DeleteBecause once you get hair on it, you're more dangerous, especially if you're a boy. That's why. It should be obvious. Pregnant woemn are even more dangerous because they produce "anchor babies," and if you don't know what that means, you're even more hopelessly naive than you look..
I want the age breakdowns for the following reasons:
ReplyDeleteIf those being allowed in are not children in the strict sense of the word (particularly according to Central American culture),
(1) the appeal-to-the-heartstrings factor is not nearly as strong
(2) those at age 15 and up could well be being brought in as a cheap labor force
(3) the older they are, the weaker the assimilation factor becomes
(4) older Central Americans in the higher age brackets for minors are more likely to contain the criminal element embedded
AoW, it doesn't matter. The President is planning on sending most of these kids home. And they are separating out suspicious characters as we write. There is no cheap labor plan here. The law is clear. Obama is now just waiting for some more funding from congress to handle the influx and follow the law. All this other talk is stupid nonsense clutter.
DeleteJMJ
JMJ,
DeleteAs you should have noticed by now, I don't respond to your comments. You're lucky that I don't delete them on site.
But I'm going to respond this time.
Come back in 6 months' time with the statistics indicating what has happened to these border surgers.
Meanwhile, more surge across. BHO has not issued an executive order to prevent more surgers from crossing over into the United States. He has not deployed a sufficient border patrol force, either. He's obeying the 2008 law, but he has no difficulty in not enforcing other legislation (such as certain provisions of ObamaCare).
PS: Talk is cheap -- especially Obama's. Over and over again.
DeleteAOW over and out.
My observation is Obama is handling the present situation poorly AOW. However, what precisely has Congress done to pass comprehensive immigration reform? Answer, NOTHING.
DeleteImmigration policy has been a festering problem for years, going back to republican administrations. Isn't it time to resolve the issue and get politics out of it?
RN,
DeleteHas any administration enforced immigration laws by securing the border?
If I recall correctly, part of the 1986 amnesty agreement was securing the border. Didn't happen because Congress didn't fund taking that step.
I do not favor any immigration reform without making better efforts to secure the border. Furthermore, no comprehensive reform will matter without securing that border.
How much longer can B.O. maintain any illusion of rationality and control as [this] and his ever expanding litany of misfeasance and scandal continue to fester?

ReplyDeleteI was addressing the "Just Sayin'" @10:05. The one who copied and pasted some other blog material here.
ReplyDeleteThere was a story last week about the body of an 11 year old boy found dead on a Texas ranch a few miles from the border. The stat I'd like to know is how many die trying to get into this country? We may never know because I doubt Mexico is keeping records.
ReplyDeleteObama has had multiple opportunities to make it clear that these children are not welcome to enter our country illegally. Instead, he gives them a wink and nod talking about how great it is that America can welcome immigrants. There's an open borders constituency in the Democrat Party and he's pandering to them. He doesn't seem to understand or care about the consequences.
Mike,

ReplyDeleteI watched most of the video ...so WAIT; If you're an illegal kid who has troubles in your country, it's not Obama's fault that his declaration a few years ago is influencing them to come NOW? It's not a problem for US because the kids must leave their countries? REALLY?
ReplyDeleteDid you see the video on TV today of a Black American woman yelling about how we need the over $3 BILLION for OUR AMERICAN KIDS and why are we giving it to illegals?
I have great sympathy for the immigrant kids but does that mean we take in every child from Central America? Why stop there? We MUST figure something out that works for everyone somehow.
And how about the news discussing how kids were TOLD what to say? Anybody see that on the news? Of course not. They're being prompted to say just what liberals want to here.
And, oh, you NASTY Republicans for suggesting that the kids may have to go home. Oh, yes...this is the perfect Obama ploy, isn't it?
Trouble is, women and men like that video I saw today, Right AND LEFT, are wondering what the HECK IS GOING ON? Maybe this will be the truth finally hitting even liberals about this president and what he's done and hasn't done?

Furthermore, allowing illegal immigrants into the United States with the purpose of creating(1) a cheap source of labor or (2) a voting base, that is human trafficking.
