As militias vow to protect the Texas border from illegal immigrants, Gov. Rick Perry (R-Texas) said he believes the president has an ulterior motive for not moving quickly to prevent the overwhelming numbers of immigrants crossing the border.

Between January 1 and June 15, 2014, more than 52,000 unaccompanied alien children have been apprehended after crossing the Mexican border into the US, according to Customs and Border Patrol. The children are mostly from El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Mexico. Including adults, over 181,000 undocumented immigrants who are “other than Mexicans,” or OTMs, have been apprehended along the southwest border in that time period. The majority of illegal aliens are coming through the Rio Grande Valley in southwest Texas.

As the United States struggles to deal with a huge wave of undocumented minors, the government is currently planning to convert an empty, 55,000-square foot warehouse in McAllen, Texas into an immigration processing center, located about one mile away from the Rio Grande Valley border patrol station. Meanwhile, the Army base in Fort Sill, Oklahoma, was designated as a third military base to house children illegally and will initially house 600 children before bumping up its capacity to 1,200. Over the last few months, similar housing facilities have been created in California and Texas.

Thoughts?
 
If the Federal Government cannot, or Will Not defend this country from what is effectively an unarmed invasion, then the citizens must.

And on another note.

What is the process to move TO Mexico?

One significant change due to the 2011 “new” law is that visitors in Mexico on tourist/Visitante visas CANNOT apply to change immigration status while inside Mexico. Visitantes must apply at a Consulate first from outside Mexico to get a new Residente Temporal or Residente Permanente. Further, Visitantes must apply for their Mexican residency visas from their home country. The consulates do not issue Residency visas. Visitantes make their applications and pay fees at their local Mexican Consulate, in their home country, and then the Consulates give you an official notice to submit with your passport when you next enter Mexico. Visitantes then have 180 days to travel to Mexico to continue the process. In Mexico, Visitantes must go to their local INM office within 30 days of entering Mexico to complete the process of getting your Residente Temporal permit.

On your first visit: INM will typically accept your submissions and print you a NUT number along with a password. KEEP THESE. Your online application is only for entering information, and it does not qualify as applying for a visa. Your official application date (or renewal date) is the date of when they issue you the NUT & password. The NUT number signifies that you have actually formally started the application process, which is important if you are trying to beat a deadline for an expiring visa.
