Part of the blame for the massive exodus from Mexico has to be placed on NAFTAs shoulders.

Interesting... making the countries the people are fleeing more economically desirable....  Maybe that would explain the need to open more shelters here?

There are two ways to slow the flow of illegal immigration into the US. Make our country less appealing (reverse our current economic recovery back to the mess Bush/Cheney left it in) or make the countries these people are fleeing safer and more economically desirable. I think our President has made the correct choice.

'US to open immigrant family detention centers'

"WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration said Friday it will open new detention facilities to house immigrant families caught crossing the border illegally, amid a surge from Central America......The government currently operates only one such facility, in Berks County, Pennsylvania, with space for fewer than 100 people*.
Mayorkas said about 39,000 adults with children have been apprehended at the border since the start of the budget year in October.............

—The administration will give the governments of Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala $9.6 million to help local authorities reintegrate returned immigrants.

—The U.S. Agency for International Development will launch a $40 million program to help improve citizen security in Guatemala. USAID will also start a $25 million crime and violence prevention program in El Salvador.

—More than $18 million will be used to support community policing and law enforcement efforts to combat gangs in Honduras under the Central American Regional Security Initiative, or CARSI. The U.S. government will also provide $161.5 million for CARSI programs focused on security and government challenges in the region."

".......The American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit against ICE in March 2007 on behalf of 10 juvenile plaintiffs that were housed in the facility at the time claiming that the standards by which they were housed was not in compliance with the government's detention standards for this population. The claims were, amongst other things, improper educational opportunities, not enough privacy, and substandard health care. The relief being sought was the release of the plaintiffs. In August 2007, after the plaintiffs were no longer housed at the facility, the ACLU settled the lawsuit claiming that the situations at the facility had "significantly improved". The Least of These is a documentary based on the lawsuit and sub-par conditions.

On August 6, 2009, federal officials announced that T. Don Hutto would no longer house immigrant families. Instead, only female detainees will be housed there. In September 2009, the last families left the facility and were moved to the much smaller Berks Family Residential Center in Pennsylvania."

Lets just take a step back and see what Obama says on the subject.

To be fair to Obama he is dealing with a lot right now and he might not have the time to play golf, I mean address this crisis. He always has time for golf.

So Mexico produces a guide book on entering the US illegally?  I guess doing so alleviates the Mexican government any obligation to people willing to leave and therefor places the burden on the US once said immigrant arrives on US soil.
