3/31/15, "Influx of Central American Teen and Family Arrivals Continues," Center for Immigration Studies, cis.org, Jessica Vaughan
"More than 2,000 illegal alien juveniles have been apprehended and taken
into federal custody in each of the last several months, according to
DHS statistics....Most of those apprehended are male
teenagers, with the largest number from Guatemala....
About 90 percent
of the recent Central American arrivals who had hearings scheduled last
summer and fall failed to appear at their immigration hearings and have
melted into the larger illegal alien population....
According to the DHS statistics, which have not been released to the
public, but were obtained by the Center, about 99 percent of all the
illegal alien minors taken into ICE custody since the beginning of the
fiscal year were apprehended by the Border Patrol.
There were a few young children (including 25 infants under age 1)
apprehended, but the vast majority — 84 percent — were between the ages
of 13 and 17 when they were booked. Thirty-one percent of the total
claimed to be age 17 at the time of booking.
Seventy percent of the minors were males....
Nearly 90 percent were from four Central American
countries (Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, and Nicaragua, in that
order); half were from Guatemala alone. The rest were from Armenia, the
Bahamas, Bangladesh, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Cuba,
Ecuador, Ghana, Haiti, India, Mexico, Nepal, Nigeria, Peru, Romania,
Somalia, South Africa, Spain, the United Kingdom, and Vietnam."...via Drudge
