President Obama is finishing his sixth year in office. His executive order has called for a pause in deportations of primarily families that has a history of five years. That means his administration is only responsible for any undocumented workers for one year of his presidency. Not only that, but, border security is better during his administration, he has achieved record deportations, he has decreased the numbers crossing the USA border and when it came to the children running for their lives because of drug cartels they were returned home. The USA even registered a visit from the First Lady of Honduras to identify her country's children and secure their return.
There is no case against President Obama. The graph above illustrates the mess he inherited. I think he's come a long way in his administration compared to the previous administration.
Again, the only undocumented workers in the USA given relief from this executive order have been in the USA for five years, hardly a reason for any more to come here.
It was also the First Lady of Guatemala, too.

The first lady of Guatemala (click here) has visited the Nogales facility where hundreds of child migrants from mostly Central American countries are being held.
The Arizona Daily Star reports that Rosa Leal de Pérez also visited Tucson's Greyhound bus station where many women and children suspected of crossing the U.S. border illegally are dropped off by immigration officials. The families are expected to report back to authorities within 15 days.
Leal de Pérez said she wanted to see the conditions in which children are being held. She also visited a new shelter set to open soon in Tucson.
U.S. border agents have seen a large spike in the number of unaccompanied children from Central American countries crossing the border illegally. Many of the children cross into Texas and are flown to Arizona to be processed here.
The arrival of the children across our southern border was and is a humanitarian crisis. The USA rises to the occasion of such an emergency, unlike those in the Republican party that can't seem to ADJUST to reality as it happens.
An America committed to children is a good and decent place. It is just a shame those most anxious to condemn decency and strong alliances with other nations can't get their own act together at home.

Two nights ago (click here) in his State of the State address to legislators Gov. Robert Bentley said this:
"Everyone in this room knows Alabama is one of the poorest states in America, where one in four children live in poverty. Nearly one million of our fellow Alabamians are dependent on Food Stamps."...
At least they aren't recruited for child soldiers or made to work in mines or experiencing death from drug cartels, but, then poverty falls in close behind any of those insults to childhood.
It occurred to me the Republican Party probably objects to minimum wage for the very same reason they want a border fence.
