CJ, funny how the violence in South America didn't create this immigration crisis until after the DREAM Act was passed. Tenchusatsu

Brilliant reply.....and you MIGHT have a point...except the violence down there is no worse today than it was 2 years ago....and interviews with the detainees indicate that it was in fact Odumbo's policy (not returning illegals) which has caused the influx.

You must be right! After all, why should they be fleeing the violence in El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras? nebraskansforpeace.org As the website news source Truthout reported late last month, By July 24, 2009, the U.S. government was totally clear about the basic facts of what took place in Honduras on June 28, 2009. The U.S. embassy in Tegucigalpa sent a cable to Washington with the subject, “Open and Shut: The Case of the Honduran Coup,” asserting that “there is no doubt” that the events of June 28 “constituted an illegal and unconstitutional coup.” The embassy listed arguments being made by supporters of the coup to claim its legality, and dismissed them thus: “None ... has any substantive validity under the Honduran constitution.” The Honduran military clearly had no legal authority to remove President Manuel Zelaya from office or from Honduras, the embassy said, and their action—the embassy described it as an “abduction” and “kidnapping”—was clearly unconstitutional. And yet, more than a year later, the Obama Administration has steadily refused to acknowledge that the new government illegally assumed power. Nor has the White House condemned the political repression that has occurred in the country in the coup’s aftermath.
