The nefarious aspect which any border agent will attest to is that for every kid they have to babysit there's less agents guarding the border.  The drug traffickers know this are using the kids as a decoy while sometimes making some money on the side.  It's a win-win for a cartel.

They want more people who will vote Democrat. Simple as that.
Yes illegal immigrants CAN vote in spite of the law, due to weakened voter ID regulations, and they do tend to vote democrat. Additionally all those nearly slave labor level jobs count towards the overall employment numbers so it helps them prop up the fake economy a little bit longer.

You have to wonder exactly what the angle is here. Is it just people pouring in in hopes of amnesty or something more nefarious?
Obama, many on the left and the chamber of commerce republicans want amnesty so there's a concerted effort to flood the borders so Obama can "use his pen'' and sign executive orders to pass so-called immigration reform w/o border security.

To those that don't know, there is an ongoing influx of immigrants being shipped into this country and the border patrol is being made to be the escorts into the country from way south. There's even reports of actual human trafficking being done in a lucrative fashion by the drug cartels in Mexico.

Art IV, Sec IV of the US Constitution:
The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened)

Quote
A Health and Human Services official refused to allow a member of Congress to enter a facility in his district where some of the unaccompanied immigrant children are being housed.

Representative Jim Bridenstine (R., Okla.) was told he could schedule an appointment for July 21. “​What are they trying to hide?” Bridenstine said after the incident. “​Do they not want the children to speak with Members of Congress? As a Navy pilot, I have been involved in operations countering illicit human trafficking. I would like to know to whom these children are being released.”

There are 1,200 immigrant children at the base. Bridenstine’s office explained that HHS releases the children to a “sponsor” in the United States. The congressman said that a security guard at the Fort Sill, Okla., facility refused to let him enter the barracks without HHS approval even though he is a member of Congress.

“There is no excuse for denying a Federal Representative from Oklahoma access to a federal facility in Oklahoma where unaccompanied children are being held,” Bridenstine said in the press release. ”Any Member of Congress should have the legal authority to visit a federal youth detention facility without waiting three weeks.”
Bridenstine is one of the best libertarian leaning Congressman on the Hill and might be doing a Senate run some time into the future.
