The Federal officials claim that another group of Syrian refugees has turned up into the immigration authorities along the border between the U.S. and Mexico. On Sunday, the Department of Homeland Security confirmed that the people identified them to the border agents in Laredo in South Texas on Friday. They comprised of a family of three and two other men.

The group was held to check their identities in the national security databases, and they turned for temporary detention to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Their arrival came following two Syrian families identified them to the border agents in Laredo on Tuesday. In both the instances, the men were taken to a detention center and the women along with children to another.

Millions of people have fled Syria in order to escape the war, and most of them went to Europe. It is not rare for the Syrians and other Middle East people to seek refuge in the U.S. via different routes. However, the Syrians getting detention in Texas comes at the time when the national security concerns are heightened from many governors as well as GOP presidential candidates opposing the federal plan to accept almost 10,000 refugees from Syria following the Paris attacks.

Last week, it was claimed that five Syrian refugees were trying to enter the United States with the help of stolen Greek passports, and they were detained in Honduras. There were no signs of links to the Paris attacks, claimed the police.

The Syrian men are kept under custody in Tegucigalpa, the Honduran capital after they arrived from Costa Rica. They were planning to head to the border with Guatemala, and their passports were doctored in order to replace the photographs.

The police spokesman stated that they received information from the fellow police services that five Syrians left Greece, and they passed through the countries such as Turkey, Brazil, Argentina and San Jose before they reached Tegucigalpa.

The pressure to stop accepting the refugee from Syria is growing in the U.S. as the French authorities revealed that a Syrian passport was discovered close to the body of one of the terrorists killed during the Paris attacks.

Hillary Clinton, the Democratic presidential candidate, is proposing a new tax credit for the middle class families that provides care for the aged parents and grandparents. As per the aide, Clinton will call for a credit of up to $6,000 to offset the cost to the taxpayers who care for the elderly people in their family. Her proposal is modeled on a bill that was introduced by Sen. Amy Klobuchar earlier this year.

Hillary Clinton knows that as the baby boomers grow old, more families need to offer care or they will need love and care from their loved ones, states a fact sheet revealing Clinton’s plan.

The credit is the latest addition to the taxpayers so that they get tax relief measures that she has introduced as she looks for the Democratic nomination for president. A part of her plan is to expand and build on the ACC (Affordable Care Act), and Clinton has proposed a tax credit of $5000 already for the families with extreme out of pocket costs related to health care.

Clinton stated on Saturday at an outdoor meeting of the local Democrats in North Charleston that other candidates want to raise the taxes for the working people and middle care as a segment of their health care plans. She said that she does not want to see the taxes increase affecting the healthcare expenses.

Clinton also stated that she supports extending the education expenses with the American Opportunity Tax Credit. Besides this, Clinton will also propose that caregivers who decide to take off or leave from work, they will get paid workforce in order to take care of their parent or child, and receive credits from the Social Security retirement benefits.

As per her plan, Hillary Clinton will invest more money in the programs that offer grant dollars for the respite care requirements such as short stays in the caregiving facilities. Also, it is to launch a government wide initiative called Care Workers Initiative to guide the training as well as placement for the care workers and to ensure that they are paid reasonably to meet their needs.
