No doubt this was a face saving maneuver from the reports last week of Chicago community pushback.

(Via Gretawire) Fox has learned that a group of unaccompanied minors from the border have been transferred to the metro Chicago area.
319 have been placed with family or sponsors and the other 429 are at facilities run by Heartland Alliance. It’s a non-profit organization which receives HHS money. They are at 7-9 locations in the Chicagoland area. There may be some adults with the children. (read more)

Several key empirical facts do not lend credibility to the White House claim of a “surprise crisis”.

Actually quite the opposite – But to really absorb the issue we must analyze current year events through the reality of prior events;  we must look into the way-back machine.  To that end we have read the entirety of:

• A March 2014 Final Report from the National Center For Border Security – HERE
• A June 2014 (Declassified) Intelligence Report on UAC’s and Central America – HERE
• A June 2014 Congressional Research Report analyzing the prior four years of Central American UAC’s (Unaccompanied Alien Children) – HERE
• A July 2014 internal White House and Dept. Of Homeland Security communique outlining the UAC crisis.  – HERE
• A January 2014 DHS and HHS Summary of UAC directives to include Contract Needs – HERE

Because these reports are so critical to the full understanding we have also embedded them in their pdf. entirety near the end of the timeline:
April 2009 – After a Mid-East trip to Egypt to deliver his Cairo speech, President Barack Obama travels to South America for the “Summit of the Americas“. The summit included thirty-four South American countries. Obama wanted to promote his point that relations in North and South America can be heavily improved, especially after age old ideals on immigration and commerce are dropped. Hugo Chavez warmly embraced Obama and provided a gift, a book titled “The Open Veins of Latin America“. (link)
December 2009 – November 2010 – 100% of all political effort was leveraged to create and institute the ACA or ObamaCare. All media oxygen is focused on ObamaCare 24/7.
November 2010 – President Obama is “shellacked” in Mid-Term elections. Loses control of the House of Representatives to Republicans. Biggest electoral defeat since 1918.
January 2011 – Emphasis, and political strategy changes. “Comprehensive Immigration Reform“, ie. “amnesty” becomes the mainstay approach toward retention of political power. Throughout a contentious Republican primary season, to assist their ideological traveler, the U.S. media kept the issue on the front burner.
May 2011 –  President Obama travels to the Rio Grande sector of the border to push for his immigration platform (ie. Amnesty).   He proclaims the border is safe and secure and famously attacks his opposition for wanting an “alligator moat”. (more…)

Despite the media narrative to the contrary, the recent poll by Investors Business Daily tells the story of how -and why- Murrieta was successful against the full weight of the Obama Regime and pravdaesque media that were attacking them.

The majority of Americans agree with Murrieta and their steadfast protest.

There is NO-WAY President Obama, as the face of the federal government, was going to put his visible self against the sheer reality of the patriots afore him. 
The Patriots position is in the majority.   This is the same reason the Bundy Ranch was victorious.
MURRIETA, Calif. — Following a string of contentious protests in Southern California, U.S. Customs and Border Protection announced Thursday it will no longer send busloads of undocumented immigrants to San Diego or El Centro.
The immigrants — mainly families and unaccompanied children from Central America — were being bused to facilities in San Diego and El Centro every three days to alleviate overwhelmed detention facilities in the Rio Grande Valley in Texas.

(IBD)  Three in five Americans say the tens of thousands of minors who have crossed the border “should be ordered to leave the U.S.” What about that do the Congress and president not understand?
The latest IBD/TIPP Poll, conducted June 24 to 29, asked those Americans who are following the story what to do about the influx of unaccompanied minors. Those saying that the government should order them to leave totaled 60%.
Breaking that sizeable majority down, 64% of independents wanted the minors sent home, as did 40% of Democrats and 80% of Republicans. There were 879 Americans surveyed in all.
Those who think the children “should be allowed to stay in the U.S. and eventually become citizens” totaled just 28%. Forty-six percent of Democrats thought they should stay and move toward citizenship; so did 24% of independents and 14% of Republicans.
Ten percent of all people polled weren’t sure.  (read more)

crossthread42 just asked an interesting question (one that may also have occurred to you):

One other thing that bothers Me… How does One, or a Family, AQUIRE the MONIES to make the trip, MUCH less pay a “smuggler”, or Coyote, to get them across the Final push across the border? 3000. to (reports of) 20.000.00 Each? If it’s a FAMILY, just on average, were talking close to 50K for ONE FAMILY to Get here?? WHERE do they get this Money? If they are in POVERTY?

This may be a clue.  This is outrageous.  There is no better word to describe it, and the IRS is doing nothing to stop it.

By obfuscating terminology liberals sometimes can be heard to claim that President Obama has deported more illegal aliens than any previous president. NOT TRUE.
There are two types of border enforcement actions:   “Returns” and “Removals”.
“Returns” are those stopped at the border and sent immediately back; the ones caught.
“Removals” are those who get through the border and are caught later on.
No previous administration has counted “returns” as deported, until Obama. What Obama is doing is counting those who are stopped at the border, the “returns”, as deported.
To fairly compare deportation -as a measure of commitment to emigration integrity- one must look at “enforcement actions” – ie. those who have been removed from the country after they have successfully snuck in.
DHS Yearbook of Immigration Statistics – Enforcement Analysis – Table 39:

Even Obama himself admitted in 2011 he was fudging the numbers to make himself look better.
Remember, truth is a relative term:  “If you like your healthcare plan, you can keep your healthcare plan“….
Now, about that $3.7 billion…..

(Via Judicial Watch) The nation’s most violent street gangs—including Mara Salvatrucha—are actively recruiting new members at U.S. shelters housing illegal immigrant minors and they’re using Red Cross phones to communicate, a Homeland Security source tells Judicial Watch.

JW has reported extensively on the crisis created by the sudden influx of mostly Central American minors that have crossed into the U.S. through the Mexican border in recent weeks.
It has created havoc and will end up costing American taxpayers billions of dollars to house, process, medically treat, feed and inevitably educate the Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) which are being dispersed throughout the country. They are bringing in dangerous diseases—including swine flu, dengue fever, Ebola virus and tuberculosis— and occupying our military bases as shelters. (more…)

Before reading the Jeh Johnson testimonials, it’s prudent to remember what was going to happen as a result of the 2012 “Sequester Budget Cuts” –  The world was ending.
 

It didn’t….
