Where is the Christian compassion for immigrant children?

[bendog]

The racist bs is ... ignorant white trash, and immigrant groups have been forming into gangs since .... the gangs of new York.

But the OP's premise is wrong. One might logically have compassion for an illegal alien who has a trade that US employers want to pay him for, but there's no legal mechanism for doing so, so both ignore the law to convey economic benefit upon each other and society. But, these kids are being sent here by parents for no other reason that sucking up resources so their lives are better without conveying a whit of benefit to me or society. I accept we must obey the law and the expense of deporting them, but I fail to see why I owe them any compassion beyond that.

 

[RoadVirus]

Not so much wanting to stick it to whitey as to remind whitey that we are a nation of immigrants.

We're also a nation of laws, FakeIndian.

Well, retard, Obama is following the TVPRA law that Bush signed in 2008 (see below).

I'm not talking about that law, you brainless Lib. I'm talking about other immigration laws.

 

[Againsheila]

You know, if we're not going to enforce the border, why have one? Let's just drop it and make it go both ways. Let us go there as well. Think how cheap we could live in Mexico or South America? Why should we have to follow any laws to go there or get a visa? Let's just cross the border by the millions and move in on them. They have more resources than we do anyway. A lot of our nation is desert.

Except for the part where he announced that we won't secure our borders, or do anything to hinder adults traveling back and forth illegally over the border.

That's all Big O.

That's the dinner bell. Obama essentially said "Hey, we aren't interested in going after human traffickers who bounce back and forth across the border...and by the way, did you know there are a lot of families in socialist central american countries that are desperate enough to pay you big money to transport their children over here? COME AND GET IT!"

 

[Unkotare]

We need to build the damned fence and as I said shoot a few coming across. The rest will get the idea.

We are not going to "shoot a few coming across," so stop wasting time with such self-indulgent nonsense. Empty emoting is not going to stop one more illegal alien from violating our borders.

 

[koshergrl]

This is a deal brokered between this commie admin, and various and assorted commie admins of south and central america..including Mexico.

Send them into Mexico. Let Mexico provide for them. They're the ones helping O facilitate it.

We need to make it illegal, to give a job to an Illegal Alien.

We need to make it illegal, to sell or rent housing to an Illegal Alien.

We need to make it illegal, to provide medical care for an Illegal Alien (except for emergency life-saving measures).

We need to make it illegal, to provide educational services for an Illegal Alien.

We need to make it illegal, to allow an Illegal Alien to buy or rent a vehicle.

We need to make it illegal, to provide an Illegal Alien with access to banking and financial services.

We need to make it illegal, to allow an Illegal Alien to wire-transfer funds, from within the US, to the outside.

We need to routinely sniff-out and seize the US-based assets of Illegal Aliens.

We need to make it illegal, to give Illegal Aliens welfare-caliber aid of any type.

We need to make it illegal, to declare any polity (municipal, county, state) as a Sanctuary for Illegal Aliens.

We need to make it illegal for Illegal Aliens to marry while here in the US (to avoid more anchor-marriages).

We need to reinterpret the 14th Amendment or otherwise clarify it at-law (to avoid more anchor babies).

We need to heavily penalize both Illegal Aliens and any American citizen or organization which violates those prohibitions.

Then sit back and watch the fun, as 12,000,000 Illegal Aliens pack up and get the hell outta Dodge, in advance of the onset of such a battery of new and effective legal tools in the fight against further invasion - self-deporting, at their own expense, and without costing a dime in deportation costs.

Hell, we won't even need to build the damned Fence, if we modify our laws to make them sufficiently onerous for Illegal Aliens that it becomes impossible for them to remain here.

But I doubt that we will even seriously consider such steps - until it is too late - foolish 'us'.

Should it also be made illegal for churches to provide sanctuary?

 

[koshergrl]

You moron, churches can't provide sanctuary anymore...or do you just not know what that term means, and are using it incorrectly and ignorantly?

Never mind, I know the answer to that one.

Dunno. I'll have to think on that one. But if some of you heathens propose shifting Sanctuary for Illegal Aliens to churches rather than polities, then, yeah, quite possibly. I don't know how church sanctuary is perceived and dealt-with at-law in this country, but I doubt it receives the same treatment as 'inviolable' that, say, medieval European churches enjoyed.

 

[Lakhota]

Are you suggesting that some churches may be breaking the law?

 

[koshergrl]

No, I'm suggesting you're an idiot who doesn't know what "sanctuary" means.

 

[deltex1]

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?

Where is the moron- in - chiefs plan to deal with this anticipated crisis? Why is the MIC dispersing this burden all over the country...without telling the affected states? Obabble cannot manage a goddam thing.

 

[beagle9]

When the housing bubble burst, Spanish-language signs like these should have been posted at every crossable portion of the Mexican border. "Unemployed Latinos, Go Home: We Can't Feed Our Own." There should have been an immediate moratorium on immigration. If American citizens have difficulty finding jobs, adding to the labor pool through immigration is the exact opposite of what we should be doing to repair the economy.

It's over. America is dead. This nation is nothing more than an open-air bazaar for the rich. Brazil with snow. Latinos are cynically sending their children alone across a foreign border because they KNOW we won't fight back, we'll give them freebies and citizenship and green cards for every relative back home. Our government and media openly invite in these Latino kids, call the middle and working classes "racist" for not wanting to give every grifter from the third world a free ride.

This is the new American Dream. The wealthiest civilization in history uses its power and prestige to import millions of low-IQ peasants to fry up pink slime burgers and stuff them down the throats of the welfare class. Nuclear power? Space exploration? The Singularity? None of that is important. The noblest goal America has ever worked towards is paying illiterate Spanish-speaking proles a slave wage to serve McDonald's shitburgers to other fat proles until they get diabetes and die at age 45.

Don't question any part of this arrangement, you filthy, intolerant nativist. Just shut up and eat your pink-slime-and-shit burger and your dirty gym sock-flavored fries, and watch some idiots throw a ball around on your flatscreen. When Thomas Jefferson et al. wrote the Declaration of Independence, it's clear that this was the kind of nation they wanted to create: a continent-wide ghetto where illegal aliens are paid $3 an hour to cook pink slime burgers for single mothers and their screaming brats.

God Bless America.

Black Woman Goes on EPIC Rant About Illegal Alien Kids -- 'Why Can't They Go Back?'

Bluntly spoken, but there is a lot of truth in this... The Demo's and the Repubs may have accomplished and/or have completed the unforgivable sin, and that is to teach the young to trust them when instead they can't be trusted it seems any longer at all. Everything is political theater any more, and then you see these children being used as pawns in a game of political kabooky theater for one side or the other, and especially so where as one side is trying to destroy the other with this catastrophe that has been created now, and that which involves so many children. Looking at these kids confusion and fear is such a sad thing, and then you look at these politicians trying to use them as pawns in a game of destruction is even sadder but in a different way. The kids need to be made safe quickly while here, and then the investigations should come next that will lead towards the trials of those who are committing crimes against humanity in those countries. This should begin soon for those who are in those countries, and for whom are causing these problems. Warrants should go out for the arrest of those who are responsible for this situation in which is known about, and is found within those countries that are causing this, and if arrest should be made here also, then so be it.

Pope Francis: Immigrant Children Must Be 'Welcomed And Protected'

Pope Francis confronted the "racist and xenophobic attitudes" that often face undocumented immigrants by addressing the thousands of unaccompanied children included in their ranks.

In a message delivered to the Mexico-Holy See Colloquium on Migration and Development on Monday, the pope drew attention to these migrant children who he said often undertake the dangerous border crossing alone in order to escape violence in their home countries:

"This humanitarian emergency requires, as a first urgent measure, these children be welcomed and protected. These measures, however, will not be sufficient, unless they are accompanied by policies that inform people about the dangers of such a journey and, above all, that promote development in their countries of origin."​

MORE: Pope Francis: Immigrant Children Must Be 'Welcomed And Protected'

That should be clear enough for most Christians to understand. Tell Speaker Boehner to pass comprehensive and meaningful immigration legislation.

 

[Kondor3]

No problem, Pope Francis.

We can welcome and protect them.

And clothe and house and feed and care for them.

Right up to the moment when we send them back to their home countries.

After that, you can talk to the people who run those countries, Your Holiness.

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?

There is a strong pro-immigration faction in the evangelical christian community, as well as the Catholic Church.

Jesse Jackson seems to think that we need to put black kids above brown kids. Where is the Christian Compassion/Human Rights faction of the DNC when it comes down to doling out the payola?
