A lot had been coming for years, even before Obama was born. In 1986 there was an immigration bill passed and there was not much follow up on whether the employers are hiring those with proper papers. If they are not hired they will not be here. The kids are another issue. I think their mothers are thinking like Moses' mother when she put him in the river in order to save his life. It is a big chance and hope the kids are okay until they can reach safety.
