Most border invaders are not children; they’re working age

The Washington Times reports:

Most of those invading America’s southern border are not what we normally call “children.” They evidently are 16 years old and older — working age. They are labeled children to promote political agendas, even though most are teens and adults, according to those willing to break down a White House-imposed wall of secrecy.

If we had such a formidable wall at the border, we wouldn’t have this mess.

These are not toddlers or grade-schoolers who miraculously traveled more than 1,600 miles. These are persons of working age who are ready to displace Americans who want jobs. Being in their late teens and early 20s, they’re a direct challenge to Americans of those ages, a group whose unemployment rates are two to three times higher than the official national average.

But the Obama administration won’t reveal the truth about the ages of the illegal immigrants.

That information is instantly available from the extensive computer system used to enter copious data about every person picked up at the border. There are NO privacy laws that prevent the release of the total numbers, statistics or overviews about them, nor about where they are being held, transferred or being released. Privacy laws protect details about individuals but don’t apply to the big picture that the public wants to know, deserves to know and needs to know.

Send them back.
