Where is the Christian compassion for immigrant children?

[bripat9643]

These children are a special situation (see my signature below).

LOL, you recognize Bush era policy as legally legitimate, but view the US-Mexico border as illegitimate and an act of theft.

That policy is just one in a long list of Bush Era policy boondoggles that need to be axed.

TVPRA is the law until Congress changes it. Obama is simply following it.

Goodnight...

Obama is not following that law, douche bag. He's deliberately misinterpreting to suit his own purposes.

I'm an Atheist.

A very moral atheist that supports cheap labor and lower living standards for future generations at that...

I mean, what would we do without snarky moralizing liberal atheists like yourself to give the rest of us sarcastic lectures on how flooding our country with masses of third world immigrants is the "christian" thing to do?

I'm also Native American. See if you can connect the dots.

Here's a little more food for thought...

The Hispanic Experience - Stolen Birthright

Please note: We held all of Mexico including Mexico city, and we gave it back. We should have just kept the whole damn country. The president at the time didn't think we could absorb 30% of our people as Hispanics. Wonder why today's president thinks differently?

Are they really children? What the heck is going on, I thought illegals couldn't get food stamps.

Seriously, where the hell is it? America is a nation of immigrants. America is also a Christian nation according to many rightwingers. So, where is that Christian compassion?

They leave it in church. You see, in some regions of our country if a person/family doesn't attend church they are suspect, and likely not the kind of people 'good' church going people associate with; by going to church many can pretend to be good Christians, once they leave, they leave their compassion behind.

Looks like they are "legal". But that makes it just as bad in my opinion. Why are we letting in people legally who can't pull their own weight financially and are a drain on public services? That's totally absurd.

So these Big Ag Farmers get their cheap labor and the rest of us taxpyers pay for their workers through the public services they receive. Seems like a raw deal to me; more corporatism. We are socializing losses and privatizing profits.

If citizens of countries in Central and South America aren't welcome to emmigrate to the US, we should call North, Central, and South America something else.

You're as stupid as you are ugly.

Why not go through the process of legally coming to this country? Wouldn't that be a novel idea in this day and age?????

So...we have established that there are indeed thousands of Christians lining up to help with the influx of children exploited by the current admin, and left to rot at detention..er...refugee centers and bus stations...

So where are the atheist groups?

Shouldn't criticize what you don't understand, wry.
Christians are helping with these children, but Christians also follow the law, you above most should understand the concept of following the law.
There IS a process in which to get immigrants into this country legally and EVERYBODY coming to this country SHOULD follow it....right?

The Christians are right there helping the kids.

The atheists keep denying it, because they don't get anywhere near those camps...

"
At the annual meeting of the Hispanic Baptist Convention of Texas this month, leaders from 1,100 congregations expressed concern for the safety and salvation of these children, as well as frustration over their lack of access.
Although Baptist leaders have worked with the Obama administration for weeks, they've not received any clear guidance as to what role churches will be able to play in ministering to the unaccompanied children.
Gus Reyes, director of the Christian Life Commission for the Baptist General Convention of Texas, says churches are ready to help now.
"We have an army of chaplains," he told CBN News. "We have an army of disaster-relief trained people. We have an army of children's ministers and leaders who have background checks who are ready to come. We have an army of medical physicians and nurses and dentists that are believers who are just ready to give their time."
In the border town of McAllen, Pastor Chad Mason of Calvary Baptist Church works the phones daily trying to find ways to help the immigrant children and fielding calls from churches and individuals that want to help."

"“I have a goal that we will be able to bring $1 million worth of aid down to the border this week,” Beck continued. “This aid goes to the churches. This aid comes because the churches reached out and said, ‘Help us, please. Somebody help us. We’re overwhelmed.’”"

"About 50 migrants from Central America arrived early Thursday at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Fontana from a detention center in San Diego County. They are receiving assistance from Caridades Catolicas, a program from the Roman Catholic Diocese of San Bernardino."

Which law is the Administration to follow, and how should the law be enforced, in your opinion? I very much understand Christians, I was raised and confirmed in the R. Catholic Church, played CYO ball (and learned many Christians were self serving and dishonest - saying one is a Christian is no insight into their real character).

So what? Its an absurd law as anyone can see when followed to its logical conclusions. Don't follow it.

Yup. Let that POS in the WH whip out his pen and sign an EO. He has no problem signing one for everything under the sun including saving his pal Holers ass over FF.

Conservative Groups March With Guns To Protest Central American Children

Conservative groups protested the possible housing of Central American children in Vassar, Michigan, on Monday by marching through town, some with AR-15 rifles and handguns, according to The Detroit News.

About 50 protesters led by the group Michiganders for Immigration Control and Enforcement carried American and “Don’t Tread on Me” flags as they marched from city hall to a social services facility that may house the children. The protest follows a similar but larger gathering that took place last week.

I wonder how many of these "patriotic" nuts consider themselves "Christians"...

"
One month earlier, on June 5, Copley and volunteers from her church began visiting the unaccompanied minors at Abbott House, a regional community-based human services agency headquartered in Irvington, New York, a small, Hudson River Valley town just south of Tarrytown, where Copley is the rector of Christ Church and San Marcos Mission.
In addition to making weekly visits, where they play games with the boys and conduct an abbreviated Eucharist in Spanish, church members pray for the children and mobilize to support them. In one afternoon, its English- and Spanish-speaking congregations raised $1,000 to buy shoes for the children, some of whom arrived at Abbott House without any footwear."
