The U.S. government is opening more detention centers to house people who are flooding across the border illegally.
Yesterday, Jay Carney’s replacement, Josh Earnest, who has some big lies to fill, scapegoated the border crisis:

White House officials blamed human traffickers for causing the crisis. “So much of what we are seeing on the southern border is the result of a deliberate misinformation campaign that is propagated by criminal syndicates in central America,” said Obama spokesman Josh Earnest.

What is that “misinformation”?

“That misinformation is causing some people who are in a rather desperate situation to risk their lives to come to the US border expecting that they will be able to stay in this country. That is simply not true.”

Expecting to be able to stay in the U.S.? Where would they get that idea?

This immigration bill is the opportunity DREAMers have been waiting for. As C.S. Lewis said, “You are never too old…to dream a new dream.”
