Come on people, let's get real. If the GOP cuts school lunches, food stamps for poor children and vows they will never get health care, then why would they care for a bunch of foreign children, no matter how much danger they are in?
The number of children from Mexico has been flat for the last 8 years. Most of these children are from Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador. That makes them way too brown for Republicans to ever except.
A mother sending a 5 year old thousands of miles away because they will be safer only shows how desperate they are. You can't stop them at the border. The law George Bush signed doesn't allow that. It doesn't make touching America "home base".
The sad part to me even beyond their loss of humanity, is the GOP's heartless attitude towards children. Their war on Children is the worst because they are going after the most helpless.
Isn't on politicians. Best they can do is pass a law. They're just catering to their bigoted racist base saying how terrible it is yada yada. The kids are in custody already. What needs to be done is caring for them and figuring out where they go from there. Politicians can then author or support new bills designed to effect the future incoming immigrants which ever way their voter base wants most.
People blame politicians too much. Of course they lied to you, they're politicians moron. (Not the OP, am addressing everyone bitching and moaning about things blaming politicians.) They're doing whatever whoever donated the most to their re-election campaigns said to do. How can that come as a surprise to you? Only way to fix too much immigration is to improve the situation at home so people stay there instead of leaving for elsewhere. So every time foreign aid comes up or some advantageous trade agreement benefitting the 3rd world, support it if you don't want a lot of immigrants showing up on your front porch.
