Who had to be paid off for the Mexicans to let them pass through?

The willing ignorance of how corrupt regimes like Mexico's operate is breathtaking!

Why always America? Why can't the parents fight for a better home country that is free like us???

Are they lazy?

These kids are fleeing horrific conditions. Many of the children are traveling from Guatemala to escape violence, poverty and organized crime. The statistics for Guatemala are dismal: Why Are Kids From Central America Risking Solo Travel To The U.S.? : NPR

When you think of Guatemala and the situation there versus other countries, the driving force is extreme poverty for these children. These kids are living in very desperate situations. If you look at indices of kids in Guatemala, all of them are just alarming - infant mortality, underweight, malnutrition. And then you have teen pregnancy, which has exploded in the country. The number of girls between the ages of 10 and 14 has dramatically risen in teen pregnancy. There's also a lot of domestic violence that's affecting kids. And there is gang violence, too, in the urban centers of Guatemala. So it is a dire situation for kids there.

Not only that but journey through Mexico is incredibly dangerous...it shows how desperate they are that they even attempt this.

It's ironical that all these arguments being made - bringing in disease yada yada yada word for word mirror generations of arguments against immigrants - East European, Russian, Mexican, Irish, Chinese etc etc...people who I suspect were the forbears of many of us.

Those poor kids...they make this incredible journey and meet with such hostility and hate. Yet, I can't help but think that that bravery, endurance and fortitude represents exactly those qualities that built our country. We should welcome them.

The sanctuary church movement has the right idea.

Why didn't Mexico take them in?

Roy Beck with NumbersUSA is full of shit. His goal is to prevent immigration to protect white Republican voters from becoming a minority. What goes around comes around.

BTW, people aren't gumballs.

Because you seem to be, obviously, too dazzled by the emotions of the situation to assess this situation clearly I figured you'd be better able to grasp the reason why we need to slow down our headlong rush to try and save all the world's needy people by bringing them here if I showed you these colorful gumballs instead.

Unfortunately, nothing seems able to snap you out of your stupid.

We can't save all the people who need saving.

The discussion we should be having is how to make their home so good, so free, so prosperous and so comfortable they don't want to leave there to come here.

Unless you actually propose we bring billions of needy people to the USA to 'save' them.

I really doubt that is the case:

Remember with Bush, we can't be the policeman of the world

but now we can just take all the world into our country, help the climb our borders, give them room and board checkup, hospitals if needed THEN fly them to other parts of the country, dump in the middle of towns somewhere, they will get, government assistance, etc

do you people ever look at what you've said in the past?

 

[Political Junky]

Im sick of this hatred towards those poor children. Seeing the faces of those little girls on TV...they are obviously scared, lonely, desperate. I can only imagine if, as a child, I was sent to another country by my parents to avoid hunger and violence, and that new land showed so much anger towards my presence. As if God himself said I have no place in the world.

To all those children...you DO have a place in this world, and if it is now America, then God Bless you all and WELCOME to our nation of immigrants.

These are fellow human beings folks. Children.

Jews also had to do this during the 1930's, send their children to another country's

Yep, that's exactly what Roy Beck suggests - to prevent white Republican voters from becoming a minority. So, how do we "make their home so good, so free, so prosperous and so comfortable they don't want to leave there to come here." You mean something like the great job Bush did in Iraq? After Bush looted the Treasury, where will the money come from to turn South America into a utopian paradise?

Ship them to Indian reservations.

Okay, Republicans. What are your brilliant plans on how to make Central America worth living in? You've tried supporting drug lords, dictators and death squads, but those don't seem to have worked. What other bright ideas do you have?

Oh my god. Did you go out in the hot sun without your hat again? Tell us why Mexico didn't take them in.

Ship them to Indian reservations.

Most reservations already live in poverty. Do some research.

Makes you wonder how Mexico might react, should the day ever come that Americans get the idea that flooding across their border is a worthwhile idea, doesn't it?

 

[Katzndogz]

If these solo children are fleeing such abject poverty where did the parents get the 7 Thou to pay the coyote? Did the woman who lost her 4 year old waste her money? Did the parents of the 11 year old found dead waste theirs?

So you actually don't have any ideas on how to make Central America worth living in?

That's what I thought.

Sure. First you explain how it's a republican problem.
