Judicial Watch's Farrell: Obama 'Orchestrated' Border Crisis

The Obama administration "orchestrated" the crush of children crossing the U.S.-Mexico border, signing contracts with social services groups to care for them many months earlier, says Chris Farrell, director of investigations for the government watchdog group Judicial Watch.

"We have extraordinary sources.... It's for real, it's solid," Farrell said Wednesday on "The Steve Malzberg Show" on Newsmax TV.

"Six or seven months before the manufactured crisis … of these kids coming across the border, they were getting contracts because they realized they were going to have a social services and health services nightmare with unaccompanied kids filling up detention centers. What do you do with them and how do you care for them?

"Setting aside the political lunacy that's involved in all this, how in the world could it be an obligation to take care of these kids and even these folks in the Obama administration realized that."
