President Barack Obama has approved a plan to give thousands of children from Central America the opportunity to get refugee status in the United States.
According to The New York Times, the program is aimed to discourage illegal border crossings by helping families to determine their eligibility before they leave their home countries to undertake a treacherous journey to the United States.

"We are establishing in-country refugee processing to provide a safe, legal and orderly alternative to the dangerous journey that children are currently undertaking to join relatives in the United States," Shawn Turner, a spokesman for the White House, told the Times.
Processing centers will be located in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras, according to the Times. Some of the programs specifics are still being discussed such as the qualifying age for children and the severity of the circumstances that would make applicants eligible.
Under current U.S. law, to qualify for refugee status, children would need to be considered a "social group" vulnerable to crime and violence in their home countries, experts told the Times.
Human rights activists have welcomed the plan, saying it would go some way to protecting children against the threat of violence and in some cases death by drug trafficking gangs, the Times reported.

Critics claim the program could encourage more children to cross illegally, capping a year that saw the influx of tens of thousands of immigrants entering the United States which prompted public outrage as well as concern about where they would be housed.
Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, told the Times "orders of magnitude more people will apply for refugee status if they can just do it from their home countries."
Officials, however, say the program will not expand the total number of refugee visas approved by the United States. A State Department document shows that of the total of 70,000 refugee visas approved for 2014, 4,000 are for those from Latin America and the Caribbean.
The plan comes following a sharp spike in the numbers of minors crossing the border over the last year. In 2011, just 6,000 unaccompanied minors crossed, whereas predictions for 2014 put the estimate at 90,000.
The Obama administration has been blamed for the influx with some arguing that it has given the message to Central American countries that children would be permitted to remain in the country upon arrival, a perception that appears to have been reinforced by the home countries.

Urgent: Should Obamacare Be Repealed? Vote Here Now!
The real program, not the one in your mind sounds promising. By giving refugee status to children that would receive it once they arrive, eliminates dangers associated with illegal border crossings and reduces the backlog of illegal immigrant processing. More importantly, children that would not qualify are told before they make the trip. If they make the trip anyway, then the cost and turnaround time for deportation will be reduced. It's one of the few sensible plans to deal with illegal immigration that has come out of Washington in a long time.This is it now, this is the word they've been waiting for down south. Now that Obama has approved of this, the word will quickly spread, and they'll be pouring in like never before.
This was the strategy all along, get in, claim refugee status, and hope it works.
Now thanks to the satan-in-chief saying it's okay, the tidal wave will begin.
What ever happened to the good ole days when we hung traitors. This idea that we should make the worst traitor in the country our POTUS is a bit backwards thinking on the part of the dimocraps.That traitor should be in prison.
Your going to be paying for the ones that meet the requirements for refugee status when they arrive. You're just not going to be paying as much. For those that are turned down before making the trip are probably not going to spend the money and take risks just to be sent back.Refugee status huh.
That means we taxpayers will be paying for all of these kids who shuoldn't be here.
Such a fucking deal for the taxpayers of America.
All this because the republicans turned down the more sensible plan proposed by Rubio.Your going to be paying for the ones that meet the requirements for refugee status when they arrive. You're just not going to be paying as much. For those that are turned down before making the trip are probably not going to spend the money and take risks just to be sent back. That would no sense.Refugee status huh.

Illegal immigrants do not elect presidents are anyone else.What ever happened to the good ole days when we hung traitors. This idea that we should make the worst traitor in the country our POTUS is a bit backwards thinking on the part of the dimocraps.That traitor should be in prison.
Democrats plan is to flood America with millions of illegals from foreign countries to cancel out votes by Americans. Do we really want a bunch of damn illegals deciding who our next President is? What the fuck libs. Its a solid plan, grant them amnesty and the right to vote and bribe them with government hand outs to vote Dem. They will destroy the poor and middle class in the process but they don't seem to care.

Naturally you're in favor of it, because as a Dim you want illegals here, and you want them to stay.The real program, not the one in your mind sounds promising. By giving refugee status to children that would receive it once they arrive, eliminates dangers associated with illegal border crossings and reduces the backlog of illegal immigrant processing.

Despite your bad grammar, I know what you're saying, and I know that you're missing the point. They get in, their handed refugee status, they begin to collect benefits, they in time become citizens and by then they know which party gives them the handouts.Illegal immigrants do not elect presidents are anyone else.What ever happened to the good ole days when we hung traitors.

There is no good plan outside of deporting every illegal that you can.All this because the republicans turned down the more sensible plan proposed by Rubio.Your going to be paying for the ones that meet the requirements for refugee status when they arrive.
