No doubt the "push factors" mentioned by Johnson are primary drivers, but the rest is still cloudy. Gregory is pushing the rightwing line that the deferred action program is the source of the problem. That is pure wishful thinking on the part of those who want to pin the problem on Obama.

I suspect that part of the problem is due to backlog in immigration courts. If a child travels to reach her family in the US and is detained, her family is located and she is released into their custody with a notice to appear in immigration court. That keeps her safe from deportation until the court date. Because of the backlog in cases, that can be a very long time. So the "permiso" that recent immigrants are talking about could be the notice to appear. That seems to be what is suggested by the INS report in Texas that everyone is talking about, but the facts remain unclear.
