Why President Obama lied about immigrant incentives
FREE Catholic Classes
A newly leaked internal report from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from the Immigrate and Customs Enforcement (ICE) indicates that recent testimony made by officials from President Barack Obama's administration in regards to deportations and the motivations of the recent waves of illegal immigrant children entering the United States were largely lies.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The report reveals the fact that only 0.1% of the Central American minors illegally entering the U.S. have been deported in the 2013 Fiscal Year, down from the 2% the prior year. This is playing a significant role in why the current crisis is occurring at the border.
End world hunger through "prayer and action."
The DHS-ICE agency report admitted that the 98% of illegal immigrant kids that are allowed to stay is a significant draw for more minors to come to the U.S. and the agency acknowledges that conditions in Central America are also playing a significant role in the recent immigration waves; however, the report contradicts administration assertions that the current state of affairs in Central America is the only reason this amount of illegals is increasing.
The report continues to state that Central American nations are doing very little to curb the flow of illegal immigration to the U.S. and blames these nations for their lack of effort to stop the flow into the U.S. or fix the issues that plague them.
"Migration pull factors include reunification with family members already in the United States and successful migration attempts [98%]," the report said. "... the high confidence that reunification with family members already in the United States to be a full factor for [immigrants] from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras."
