Manufactured Border Crisis: Constitution Radio with Douglas V. Gibbs

Posted by Douglas V. Gibbs

Listeners, we have a busy radio schedule today.  First, I am a guest on Unite I.E. Radio airing on KTIE AM590 (the station that carries Rush Limbaugh in the Inland Empire) today.  The Unite I.E. Radio Program begins at 11:30 am.

At Noon Pacific I co-host with JASmius American Daily Review on BlogTalkRadio, the pre-game show for Constitution Radio.

Then, at 2:00 pm on KCAA AM1050, Call-to-Listen: 832-999-1050, listen online at www.KCAAradio.com, is Constitution Radio with Douglas V. Gibbs. . . and today's topic is mind-blowing:

Today's Radio Guest on my show says, "The Border Crisis was Manufactured by this

Administration."

Today's guest on Constitution Radio, Elise Hilton (a Communication Specialist for the Acton Institute), says, "It is inexcusable to use children for anything, especially political pawns. Yet the Obama administration seems to have no problem doing so in the current border crisis."

Then, she tells us: Before we examine the current immigration issue and President Obama's ill-conceived immigration policy, let's go back to 1960, another crisis and another group of children.

Most people have never heard of Project Pedro Pan. When Fidel Castro brought the horrors of Communism to the island nation of Cuba, parents feared their children would lose their faith, their heritage and suffer indoctrination. Some parents did the unthinkable: They sent their children away, not knowing if they'd be reunited. 

From the Project Pedro Pan site: From December 1960 to October 1962, more than fourteen thousand Cuban youths arrived alone in the United States. What is now known as Operation Pedro Pan was the largest recorded exodus of Unaccompanied minors in the Western Hemisphere.

About half of the children were cared for by friends or relatives upon arriving in the United States. The rest were placed in foster care via the Catholic Welfare Bureau, under the guidance of Fr. Bryan Walsh, the Irish priest who orchestrated the exodus. This was made possible because the U.S. government, after breaking off ties with the Castro regime, waived visa requirements for the children, so long as Walsh could find homes for his charges. Two of those children became my foster brother and sister; after nearly five years, José and Lourdes were reunited with their parents, who escaped Cuba via the Swiss embassy.

Today one source conservatively estimates over 47,000 unaccompanied minors have been apprehended trying to cross the U.S. southern border from October to May. The influx of children was apparently stimulated by the Obama administration's announcement two years ago of sweeping changes to the immigration policy for children.
Under the new policy, people younger than 30 who came to the United States before the age of 16, pose no criminal or security threat, and were successful students or served in the military can get a two-year deferral from deportation, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said.
There is no doubt that many of these children are fleeing horrendous situations. There is also no doubt that many of these children are being used by drug cartels, creating a "highly sophisticated human trafficking network" that our government is encouraging.
