   It is time to put Obama where he belongs.  Behind bars.   
      
   Tens of thousands of unaccompanied immigrant children from   
   Central America have been released to family or sponsors around   
   the U.S. Between July 1 and 7, more than 30,000 were released to   
   family or sponsors, which includes parents, relatives or family   
   friends, according to the Los Angeles Times.   
      
   Regional news outlets are keeping track of how many of them have   
   come into their state.   
      
   Rhode Island reported about 119, according to The Associated   
   Press, while Ohio reported 360, according to the Springfield   
   News-Sun.   
      
   But Texas has 4,280, or about 13 percent of the children,   
   according to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS),   
   reported Newsmax.   
      
   Ten states have more than 1,000 children, and three major   
   immigration hubs -- New York, Florida and California -- had more   
   than 3,000 each.   
      
   Most of the children are from El Salvador, Guatemala and   
   Honduras. The presidents of all three countries met with   
   President Barack Obama Friday to discuss the issue.   
      
   The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), in the HHS   
   Administration for Children and Families, helps identify these   
   sponsors who undergo background checks, relationship analysis   
   and in some cases a home study.   
      
   The children, before being released to sponsors, receive   
   vaccinations and medical screenings, according to the ORR.   
      
   But there still remain thousands more in shelters in various   
   states.   
      
   One anti-immigration website has tracked the location of these   
   shelters on Google Maps, as well as pinpointed locations that   
   the government is scouting and locations where a shelter has   
   been successfully blocked by the local government and residents.   
      
   Kenneth Wolfe, a spokesman for the HSS, told the Springfield   
   News-Sun that the spike is due to a misconception being spread   
   by smugglers.   
      
   The smugglers, or coyotes, are telling the families their   
   children will be able to stay in the U.S., Wolfe said.   
      
   The Pew Research Center released data that cites a more than 100   
   percent increase of unaccompanied children under 12 years of age   
   crossing the border in the past year, according to the   
   Springfield News-Sun. A majority of the immigrants are teens,   
   but this year more of the unaccompanied children were aged 12   
   and younger.
