Breaking News illegal alien children do not know why they were ripped away from their parents & sent to the U S and most just want to go back to their parents
A new Obama program is FLYING illegal alien children to the US so they don't have to make the trek on foot. And you get to pay for it!
On February 2, the State Department sent to Congress more details about its big request for US$1 billion in 2016 assistance to Central America, as part of next year’s foreign aid budget proposal. Compared to 2014, this $1 billion package would mean a tripling of foreign aid budget assistance to the region, especially to the three “Northern Triangle” countries (El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras), which suffer very high violent crime levels.
The proposed new aid comes in response to the 2014 wave of unaccompanied minors fleeing violence from their home countries, in which 51,705 children from the Northern Triangle region, and 61,334 members of families with children, crossed the U.S. border.
The majority of the aid in this proposal—at least 80 percent—goes to civilian institutions, civil society, and economic development, in recognition of the need to address the root causes underlying the violence and lack of opportunity driving migration. Further details about the aid will certainly reveal this to be a less-than-perfect package, but in broad strokes it represents an important shift: it seeks to address the full range of causes, instead of treating security cooperation as the central element. It recognizes that many institutions must be strengthened if Central America’s Northern Triangle countries are truly to protect their citizens.

I really think you ought to term your words differently.
'Aliens' should be kept to the rightful meaning... 'Aliens' from another Planet. These children aren't 'Aliens'. They may be 'Illegals' if they are crossing the Border 'illegally' but if they are being bought into the Country 'Legally' then the correct Term to use is 'Legal Migrants'.
Nonimmigrant — An alien who is admitted to the United States for a specific temporary period of time. There are clear conditions on their stay. There are a large variety of nonimmigrant categories, each exists for a specific purpose and has specific terms and conditions. Nonimmigrant classifications include: foreign government officials, visitors for business and for pleasure, aliens in transit through the United States, treaty traders and investors, students, international representatives, temporary workers and trainees, representatives of foreign information media, exchange visitors, fiancé(e)s of U.S. citizens, intracompany transferees, NATO officials, religious workers and some others. Most nonimmigrants can be accompanied or joined by spouses and unmarried minor (or dependent) children.

The word alien basically meant "strange" or "not like us."
As in "stranger."
Psychologists were orginally called "alienists" because they specialized in "strange" people.
Oh, and, congrats on another absolutely irrational Obama-bashing thread completely disconnected from reality!
