Department of Homeland Security has released "Freedom of Information Act" documents.

Homeland Security should not wait for a Freedom of Information Request to put facts out to the public. Currently, the dialogue in the country about DACA is completely wrong. There is a lot of misinformation. It effects the way citizens see their candidates.

...But it's also the case (click here) that the criminal smuggling organizations are creating considerable misinformation about the state of our laws and so forth. They're - they're telling--in order to induce the family member to pay $3,000, $5,000 or whatever it is, they tell them things like, "You'll get a free pass and it will expire at the end of June or the end of May."

The fact is--and I've been saying this publicly now for weeks and it's being repeated in Central America and the Spanish press that the deferred action program that was established two years ago is for children who've been in this country for seven years, since June 2007.

So it is simply wrong to say that if you come here today, tomorrow or yesterday, you're going to benefit from DACA. 
Why is it those facts are not making it thought the static? It doesn't make sense. Perhaps the poison toward the Obama Administration is so thick in the country the words never get through.

Recently, we have seen rate of unaccompanied alien children apprehended in the Rio Grande Valley moving downward compared to earlier this year, but we continue to prepare for any change in current conditions. The Border Patrol Agents in RGV Sector and CBP employees around the country continue to respond to this humanitarian c1isis in a professional and compassionate manner....

Perhaps the best communication is not through the media, but, in the written word. Maybe the Press Secretary should post written notes daily in what is discussed with the press.
