3:06Now Playing"Anti-Immigrants can’t even throw a good rally anymore.
Anti-immigrant groups have hit upon the issue of children fleeing violence who are arriving unaccompanied by adults at our southern border. These children are coming from three countries: El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala. All three countries have very serious problems with gang violence, murder and child trafficking into prostitution. Under current US federal law these children have the right to have their cases thoroughly evaluated to ensure that no child is returned to a country where they might be killed, injured or trafficked.
The anti-immigrant groups want to show that this increase in children fleeing violence who are showing up at our southern border is somehow indicative of a failed Obama Administration immigration policy. Their ultimate goal is to create enough political pressure so that Obama will not act unilaterally through executive action to provide relief to some portion of the 12 million undocumented people living in the United States. Progressives have been pushing Obama to act unilaterally so that undocumented immigrants who have built strong roots in this country and who are law abiding are not always in fear of being arrested and deported."* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down.
