Related: About this forumSenator Ted Tea Cruz, Blames Obama for Mexico's Problem with Central Americans.
http://www.ibtimes.com/mexico-struggles-manage-central-american-migration-1634278In recent weeks, Mexicos President Enrique Peña Nieto has pledged to fortify border security even further. He and Guatemalan President Otto Pérez Molina last week announced a new border program that they said would increase the number of checkpoints and protect migrants from criminal groups. Mexican Interior Minister Miguel Ángel Osorio Chong also pledged last week to prevent migrants from risking their lives on the freight trains.
But Peña Nietos government also faces criticism from within the country on its approach so far to the flow of Central American migrants traveling through Mexico. An op-ed earlier this month by columnist Martín Espinosa in Mexican newspaper Excelsior placed responsibility for handling the crisis on the Mexican government. In recent years, our countrys immigration policy has oscillated between inaction and corruption by immigration authorities, Espinosa wrote.
An editorial in Mexicos El Universal newspaper echoed the sentiment. The fact is that the Mexican authorities are not substantially tackling the problem or preventing it, it said. Otherwise 24,000 children traveling alone, mostly from Central American countries like El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala, wouldnt now be detained in the United States.

If Cruz got jock itch, or found weevils in his oatmeal, or misplaced his reading glasses, or got a flat tire, it would be Obama's fault. It's Obama's fault if there are weeds in the garden or your dog got fleas or it rains right after you wash your car. Obama is all-powerful. He controls everything. Bwahahahaha.
