[font size=5]2008 law unexpectedly at center of border debate[/font]

Sen. Dianne Feinstein recalls turning on her television and seeing a young Chinese girl crying before a judge, without even an interpreter to help her after surviving a harrowing journey to the U.S.

That was the genesis of a law six years ago that is now at the center of an immigration crisis at the nation's Southern border. More than 57,000 youths, mostly from Central America, have crossed into the U.S. illegally since October. Fewer than 2,000 of them have been sent back.

Immigration advocates and many Democrats insist on preserving what they describe as important protections in the 2008 law for unaccompanied youths who flee their home countries or are smuggled to the U.S. ....

Feinstein's measure was made part of the William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008, named after an 18th century British abolitionist. It passed Congress with no controversy and was signed by former President George W. Bush without a lot of fanfare. ....

Feinstein, Menendez and others also have begun to argue that that the law as written allows the administration flexibility to deal with the current circumstances, because it contains a provision for "exceptional circumstances." ....

But such arguments have gotten little traction with Republicans, who appear ready to insist that the law must change in order for them to sign off on money to address the crisis. ....

[font size=5]Will National Guard Help Stop Immigrant Influx in Texas? [/font]

Texas Gov. Rick Perry calls it “Operation Strong Safety,” but critics say it’s closer to “operation symbolic act.”

Perry announced today that 1,000 National Guard troops would be deployed over the next month to the southern border. But by law, they can’t make arrests and instead will act only as a “visual deterrent.” ....

And the troops cannot use their weapons to stop illegal immigration. ....

White House press secretary Josh Earnest characterized the governor’s action today as a publicity stunt. ....

The Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 (updated in 1981) works to limit the federal government’s use of the military to enforce state laws and, as such, bars it from performing tasks of civilian law enforcement such as arrests or apprehensions.

That could be why the head of the Border Patrol made it clear in a June interview with ABC News that the Guard isn’t needed. ....

Perry maintains that the use of the Guard will serves as “a deterrent effect on criminal and illegal activity along the border,” at a cost of $12 million per month — a figure he plans to ask the federal government to reimburse.
