[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You know all those unaccompanied kids fleeing Honduras and giving refugee status and placed in random high schools all over MCPS last year?  Well one of them, a 9th grader, was just arrested for murdering a 22yr old found dead in the woods in Montgomery Village.   All gang related. This article makes me very nervous.  My kids are in a high school very close to Gaithersburg.

And since Honduran police just arrested 5 Syrians who produced fake passports yesterday - all heading to US by means of saying they are a Honduran refugees, there needs to be concern.  I just hope they aren't missing anyone and no one has or is going to slip thru the cracks.

These unaccompanied minor immigrants and the 5 arrested in Honduras yesterday have nothing to do with the refugee resettlement process that is at issue. The refugee resettlement process involves 18-24 months of background checks and screening prior to the immigrant ever setting foot into the United States. The vast majority of those arrested and/or convicted of terrorism related charges - and the 9/11 terrorists - entered the US on tourist, student or work visas - visas that are much easier to obtain than refugee resettlement.[/quote]

Which is why Syrians are trying all avenues, hence trying to get in thru the US/Mexican border that Honduras children and young adults have, seeking asylum from violence.  The only ones getting background checks are the ones directly coming here.  And let's be honest, what type of background check do you do?  Sadly most Syrians have no form of trail to background.  The claim is to make the American people feel safe.

But the point of all this is, you are bringing in various poor immigrants with little to no upbringing. Ones that have grown up with violence all around them.  They find comfort/family in Central American gangs just like members of ISIS make new recruits feel welcome and they have a "family."  Gangs have been on the decline in MCPS but in the last year, they are recruiting new refugees as members and are climbing in numbers.  That is concerning me.  I am not against helping people but how many do we take and just plop into society and schools and hope they can find their way and assimilate.  The freshman arrested for murder was actually 17yrs old.  If he didn't murder someone and actually graduated on time, he would be a 21/22yr old senior.  My daughter will be 13 when she enters as a freshman.  Having grown men with gang affiliations in high schools should not be happening.  [/quote]
