Most of these kids are here to stay. They are actually going to release almost all of them. Very few will be deported. They don't have the resources to continue housing them, so they are releasing them to the custody of any possible relatives or in some cases just to families that will take them. For example, if the kid says his only relative is an aunt in Tuscon, they will put him on a bus to Tuscon. That is after he is processed. The only stipulation of the release is that they will report to ICE in 3-4 weeks. What is going to compel the kids to report to ICE? I'll bet that 90% of these kids never report to ICE. What is the government going to do? If the kids don't report to ICE within a month, is the government going to track all these kids down?
What kind of policy is this? This is insane. The President and Congress are totally worthless. They should pass emergency laws immediately to make sure any future underage immigrants are deported immediately. That is the only way kids from Central America will stop coming. As long as they know that this "catch and release" program exists, they will continue to come here. Not only are they estimating over 90,000 of these kids coming this year. They are estimating 140,000 for next year.
