The border invasion from Central America via Mexico has been going on since at least last fall, but Obama was warned about this invasion nearly two years aoo. So what did Obama did? Absolteutly noting. Valerie Jarrett must have told him to ignore it. In fact, in August 2013 Obama assigned 30 Border Patrol agents to drive illegals around to off-site showers, wash their clothes and make them sandwiches. Of course, the number in August of 2013 was minimal compared to the numbers today. Washington Post:

Thirty Border Patrol agents were assigned in August 2013 to drive the children to off-site showers, wash their clothes and make them sandwiches. As soon as those children were placed in temporary shelters, more arrived. An average of 66 were apprehended each day on the border and more than 24,000 cycled through Texas patrol stations in 2013. In a 41-page report to the Department of Homeland Security, the team from the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) raised alarms about the federal government’s capacity to manage a situation that was expected to grow worse.
The researchers’ observations were among the warning signs conveyed to the Obama administration over the past two years as a surge of Central American minors has crossed into south Texas illegally. More than 57,000 have entered the United States this year, swamping federal resources and catching the government unprepared.
The administration did too little to heed those warnings, according to interviews with former government officials, outside experts and immigrant advocates, leading to an inadequate response that contributed to this summer’s escalating crisis.
