Almost 400 migrants carried other people’s children or youths, or lied about their adult age, to get over the border in the nine months prior to September 30, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
The data about large-scale fakery corroborates the few media reports which show how migrants are renting other people’s children to trigger loopholes which allow the adults to get over the border and be released into the U.S. job market. The data also shows rational willingness of poor migrants to get decent jobs in the United States by lying to wealthy, foreign Americans on the U.S. border.
Few American media outlets are willing to admit the migrants’ careful manipulation of American law, or the taxpayers’ cost and the wage-cutting impact of the fraudulent migrant influx. Instead, most establishment media prefer to portray the migrants as guileless and grateful recipients of charity from selfless progressives.
“In response to the misreporting from multiple outlets, I wanted to highlight the rampant fraud taking place at our Southern border,†said a November 27 statement from DHS spokeswoman Katie Waldman. She continued:
Aliens know that if they bring ANY minor with them they will be apprehended by Border Patrol and released into the interior of the United States. This is a direct result of the Clinton-era Flores Settlement decree that has created a massive loophole which allows alien family units to illegally cross the border and enter the United States after a short detention [of 20 days].
This well-known loophole acts a magnet for family units and entices smugglers to use children as a way to gain access to the United States by posing a family unit. Word has gotten out. Over the last two years, we have seen a 110 percent increase in male adults showing up at the border with minors. Further from April 19, 2018 to September 30, 2018, 507 aliens were encountered as a family unit and were separated as they were not a legitimate family unit.
Waldman’s data said the 507 aliens were comprised of two groups:
87 Family units separated based on child determined to be over 18 [including] 165 adults and 6 individuals that had initially claimed to be minors but were later discovered to be adults
170 Family units separated based on No family relation [including] 197 adults and 139 juveniles
The Rio Grande Valley had the highest number of reported fraudulent cases, at 170 cases, Waldman reported.
