Between October and February, there has been a 300 percent increase of illegal aliens crossing the border using children as props – hence the reason for separating the 'families' to see who these 'children' really belong to. Many of these 'children' are teenagers (or older) who 'look' like teenagers and have no identification. And, while most illegal immigrants may come only to seek work and a better economic opportunity, their presence outside the law furnishes an opportunity for terrorists to blend into the same shadows while they target the American public for their terrorist crimes.

Recently, approximately 10,000 illegal children (under the ages of 18) have come in on their own, with about 1500 arriving with 'parents'.

The Department of Health and Human Services has been taking in about 250 children per day in recent weeks and expects to continue that amount for the next two months. HHS is the agency that is taking in children when they are separated from their families. If that estimate holds, HHS could be caring for 18,500 more children by the end of August. The HHS official said as of Friday that they were already holding 11,500 children, which (with the additional 18,500 children) means the United States could be holding 30,000 illegal alien children by the end of August. During this time, the children are housed, fed, clothed, receive medical attention, and more. If they are without parents, a sponsor home must eventually be found.

“The wall could pay for itself even if it only modestly reduced illegal crossings and drug smuggling,” Steven A. Camarota, director of research at the Center for Immigration Studies, told The New York Post.

Absent a wall, the Homeland Security Department forecasts an additional 1.7 million illegal crossings at the US-Mexico border over the next decade.

If a wall stopped just 200,000 of those future crossings, it would save American taxpayers a whopping $64 billion - from welfare, public education, refundable tax credits and other benefits currently given to illegal aliens from Mexico and Central America – almost four times the wall's cost - to say nothing of the additional billions in federal savings from reduced federal drug interdiction and border-security enforcement.

While the national media routinely report that illegal immigrants don’t go on welfare, Camarota says this is a pervasive myth. While in most cases they can’t legally qualify for welfare, food stamps, Medicaid or other public benefits, the reality is that the vast majority of households headed by illegal immigrants are on welfare through children in the household.

There is also an Emergency Medicaid program that covers predominantly illegal immigrants. Funds from the multibillion-dollar program go to hospitals to offset the cost of treating adult illegal aliens who can’t pay their bills. And it’s not just for ER visits. In New York, the program can be used to provide chemotherapy and radiation therapy for illegal immigrants.

In addition, Camarota said the IRS each year pays out billions to illegal immigrants in refundable child tax credits and the earned income tax credit.

Indeed, the Congressional Budget Office recently estimated that 3 million DREAM Act recipients would receive an estimated $12 billion-plus in ObamaCare subsidies, more than $5.5 billion in Medicaid benefits, $5.5 billion in earned-income and child-tax credits and more than $2 billion in food stamps.

The United States is not without a heart, but it must take care of it's own citizens first and newly applied citizenship.

Documenting people who arrive in any country is an idea that makes sense. Lots of countries think so, even if the U.S. doesn’t take it seriously. Here are a few examples:

Australia: Collectively require the authorities to detain all non-citizens who are discovered in Australia without a valid visa.

Britain: If you cross the British border illegally, you will always be asked to identify yourself where if you do not have authorization will be deported.

Canada: If caught entering the Canadian border illegally, expect the Canada Border Services Agency as well as the Immigration and Citizenship Canada, to serve you with a removal letter followed by an arrest if you do not leave the country peaceful.

China: Whisleblowers who report illegals to the government receive a cash reward when their information “leads to an expulsion.”

Cuba: If you are caught crossing the Cuban border illegally, you will be thrown into political prison.

Denmark: This largely homogenous country has reportedly offered immigrants cash incentives to leave if they cannot assimilate into Danish culture. Denmark's website states that "Denmark is not an immigrant-country and never has been. Thus we will not accept transformation to a multiethnic society."

European Union:Shared border controls are in place in 25 EU countries. They do not apply in two EU countries, Ireland and the United Kingdom. All EU countries control and monitor their own border crossing-points via land, sea or air. These national efforts are complimented by the work of the EU border control agency, Frontex, which trains national border guards and coordinates activities by EU countries to ensure the security of the EU's external borders. A proposed European System of Border Surveillance (EUROSUR) will help EU countries to develop their surveillance capabilities. The aim is to help prevent illegal border crossings and reduce irregular migration, which often has tragic consequences. It will also help to improve the EU's internal security by preventing cross-border crimes.

Iran: Since late April 2007, the Iranian government has forcibly deported back to Afghanistan mostly unregistered (and some registered) Afghans living and working in Iran at a rate between 250,000 and 300,000 per year – (the number the United States will receive this summer). The forceful evictions of the refugees, who lived in Iran and Pakistan for nearly three decades, are part of the two countries’ larger plans to repatriate all Afghan refugees within a few years.”

Italy: A law passed by parliament in 2009 “penalizes illegal immigrants with a fine of €5,000-10,000 and allows immigration officials to detain them for up to 6 months.

Mexico: Tightened its immigration laws in 2008, Mexico has been deporting mass numbers of Central Americans and Cubans.

North Korean:If you are caught crossing the border illegally, you get twelve years hard labor.

Russia: Illegal border crossing is considered a crime, and captured illegal border crossers are sentenced to prison terms.

Saudi Arabia: Simply, if you cross the border illegally you will be jailed.

Venezuela:It is encouraged that you go through the normal procedure to get a visa to travel to Venezuela – if you cross the border illegally you will be branded a spy and your fate will be sealed.
