By exec order.
Can't believe this hasn't hit the TD wire:

I hate exec orders and this move smacks of desperation, will have the opposite of the purported effect and it doesn't address the root of immigration problems or Central American violence.

Hoping to stem the recent surge of migrants at the Southwest border, the Obama administration is considering whether to allow hundreds of minors and young adults from Honduras into the United States without making the dangerous trek through Mexico, according to a draft of the proposal. If approved, the plan would direct the government to screen thousands of children and youths in Honduras to see if they can enter the United States as refugees or on emergency humanitarian grounds. It would be the first American refugee effort in a nation reachable by land to the United States, the White House said, putting the violence in Honduras on the level of humanitarian emergencies in Haiti and Vietnam, where such programs have been conducted in the past amid war and major crises.

At the rate that Obama is doing things to undo America, it's hard to keep up!

Why do the Honduran people deserve special consideration? Seriously, I know it's very corrupt and violent but there are many countries whose people suffer much more.

Seven yrs ago I spent 4 months in Honduras. It was dangerous. State Dept website back then stated it has the worlds highest murder rate. So we to believe it is so dangerous now that the residents are fleeing in droves only now to the US?
