The Obama administration, in essence, has become a party to the deliberate trafficking of children for profit and shows no sign of ending the practice.
The price these children pay for Obamas policy is often horrific.
Officials at Lackland Air Force Base told us that one-third of young girls that come across and they were just like little babies; 10, 11, 14 years of age. That about one third of them get raped and/or abused on the way here, CBS reports.

A pernicious, little-known Obama administration policy one that that incentivizes adult illegal immigrants to use children as human shields to escape arrest and deportation at the border largely has escaped the medias notice.
This same policy is driving the historic surge of children at the border, as everyone from coyotes to illegal immigrant adults already in America seeks to use children to guarantee their safe passage into the country, or to protect them from deportation if they are illegally living here.
The flood of illegal immigrant children, piling up like human debris on the US border, wont stop until conservatives learn about the obscure Obama administration policy thats deliberately driving it and reverse it.
Issued in August of 2013, the policy is called the Family Interest Directive, and it essentially forbids Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents from deporting, arresting or even detaining any illegal immigrant who is the caretaker of a child. That includes parents, legal guardians and even unrelated adults who merely claim they care for the child in question. The theory behind the directive is that it would be morally wrong to separate children from their caretakers.
In practice, what that means on the border and in the interior -- is that if you have a child with you, any child, you wont be sent home. So suddenly, illegal immigrant children are a hot commodity. Unrelated adults and coyotes use them for border crossings, then abandon them at the border. Parents who in the past would have left their children behind, crossed the border and then sent money home are now bringing them along for protection from deportation. And parents and family members already in the country who showed little interest in housing and caring for these children before are now sending for them, in the process forcing these children to take terrible risks as they travel alone along the way. If they make it to the border, they end up in the hands of the US government for safe-keeping until they can be reunited with parents and relatives.
Two other measures, Obamas 2012 executively ordered Dream Act amnesty and a 2008 law that forbids the federal government from immediately deporting illegal immigrant children from countries other than Mexico, have gotten the lions share of the media attention by those attempting to explain what is driving this crisis. But it wasnt until the issuing of the Family Interest Directive in August 2013 that the floodgates opened.
The Department of Homeland Security says the unprecedented deluge of 52,000 unaccompanied minors began in October. Thats just two months after the directive was issued.
