Typical of repug and fu_fubho BS re President Obama and children immigration crisis...

President Obama and Dems want to fix another Bush mess and repugs fight against fixing mess they created.

>>"Obama gets blame, but 2008 bill set procedures for dealing with young illegal immigrants
Fallin, Cole blame Obama, but they didn’t object when current procedures for dealing with young illegal immigrants passed Congress.

by Rick Green Published: June 29, 2014

Procedures for helping young unaccompanied illegal immigrants are based in part on legislation approved by Congress in 2008, yet some lawmakers who did not object to the measure then are against the procedures now.


Gov. Mary Fallin and Rep. Tom Cole, R-Moore, were members of the U.S. House when the bill passed without objection.

The William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008 also passed the U.S. Senate by unanimous consent and was signed into law by President George W. Bush.

The act was mainly intended to help human trafficking victims, but one part had provisions for unaccompanied illegal immigrants under age 18.

The legislation said they must “be promptly placed in the least restrictive setting that is in the best interest of the child.” The U.S. Health and Human Services Department is to provide for their custody and care while deportation hearings are under way. The department is to attempt to find a parent or a sponsor in the United States while providing free legal representation and a child advocate."<< MORE
