Illegal immigration exploded shortly after President Barack Obama issued an executive order halting some deportations.
In fiscal years 2000 through 2011, fewer than 4,000 “unaccompanied alien children” from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras were apprehended at the border each year. That jumped to 10,146 in FY 2012, doubled to 20,805 in FY 2013 and has doubled again this year.
The UACs — some of whom may be wearing tennis shoes adorned with Mr. Obama’s picture, according to DMLDaily.com — come because they think they’ve been invited. President Obama “is helping us,” a little boy told a reporter for the Fox News affiliate in Detroit. “All Guatemalans can come to the United States and stay.”
The little boy is mostly right. Of 47,397 UACs apprehended at the border between 2009 and 2013, just 3,525 (7.4 percent) have been ordered to leave the country.
The government spends $252 per child per day to care for the 52,193 UACs apprehended from Oct. 1 through the middle of June, a Texas congressman told Newsradio WOAI in San Antonio. Not many Americans can spend that much on their children.
The president asked Congress for $1.8 billion “to provide appropriate care for unaccompanied children.” After checking air fares on several websites, Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., estimated it would cost as much as $30 million to fly them home.

My assumption is most of those 3,525 that have been ordered to leave the US have not. Therefore nobody is there to tell those in Central America not to waste their money. Everyone who "didn't make it" because of gangs, disease, exhaustion, etc has President Obama in some way to blame.
