From NBC latino so, I hope no one considers this to be completely biased. (although it is the parent company of msnbc)

From the article: "President Barack Obama has tagged the childrens' arrivals at the U.S.-Mexico border a humanitarian crisis and his administration has been adamantly emphasizing the children still can be deported, even after being taken to shelters and released to parents or relatives."

OK, Charlie Brown - are you going to trust me one more time? Snicker.

Follow-up thought: wouldn't it be nice to know what the percentage of new arrivals is older than say 15? I think this "we're doing it for the children" is an enormous cover for adults and near-adults (I don't think many 15-year-olds who have traveled from Central America are children anymore) to smuggle drugs (or worse) into our country.

Who will be the first to accuse me of conspiracy theory?

When you're up to your ass in alligators,sometimes it's difficult to remember that your initial objective was to drain the swamp...quote from somewhere....I don't know,seemed somewhat appropriate at the time...
