My understanding is that of the approximate 52,000 kids who've Come here did so without their parents, and those who were helped by " other " adults to get here....once here that we're abandoned AGAIN.
Ok... I decided to look into this.
Here's what I found:
The Kids are coming from countries south of Mexico. Our congress passed a law (in the Bush years) which said we cannot turn back children from countries south of Mexico... we can turn back mexican children:

So an entire bus of children COULD show up at our border from guatemala and we would have to bring them into the country and try them in a court. During this period, we have to do something with them, which is where the "permiso"s come in (I think)... these are apparently notices that we are going to send you out of the country, but until we give you the deportation trial, we're going to let you chill here...

Interestingly, Obama is pushing to let us just turn them away at the border... so I'm not sure why people are blaming the obama administration at all for this...
So, I WAS incorrect... these are not accompanied mexican minors. These are kids being sent up alone to take advantage of a Bush era law put in place which Obama is trying to reverse. According to the law, we have to provide these kids with a deportation trial (or something like that)...
But I'm sure this still has something to do with obama trying to create brown shirts and nazis.
