Left wing, right wing... who gives a (hoot)? If anyone posting has solid reasons why we should or should not assist these kids, please explain them. Should they be sent home? Why or why not?

Unless we have solid evidence that 5 and 6 year-olds (or any age) pose a treat, they should be treated as refugees.

If anyone seriously doubts what the conditions are like in Central America, just do some research. Those (if any) who are gang members, send home if they are proven to be active members.

I know what it is like there.....not very nice.

But, that is their home....not the USA.

Send them home.

That is where they live......that is enough.

BTW....I think they should just be put back over the border in Mexico.

How many are 5 or 6 years old? Anyone know? It makes a big difference. We can't even speculate as to where these kids should best be placed or where they should be sent, unless age is taken into consideration. I don't agree that a young child should be dumped over the border. They can't fend for themselves and would be too easily exploited. Just one consideration; obviously that isn't the case for all of these kids.

Liberal talk shows also made a big deal about the changing demographics in the last election. They made it seem like it was inherently a good thing for our country that the poorest, least educated, and most crime-ridden groups were the ones that were increasing in numbers.
Short memory there? I'm surprised you would even post this so soon after your previous comments. Let's see - "poorest, least educated, criminal group" - and in a previous post you maintained that anyone who grouped people thusly was racist, and you were suitably "appalled". Remember? You scolded and maintained that it was despicable and wrong to attribute various traits to a racial group.
As I have been saying all along, your altruistic "outrage" is just as "sincere", and your posturing just as phony, as your media heroes', and contradicting yourself seems like proof positive.

More to the real point, why do you address the racial part of the issue rather than the economic, or my points about the various factions involved? Why don't you address the points about the refugee status of these people? Again, I said it is more than about race, so just keep twisting, spinning, and expressing your counterfeit outrage - as I'm sure you will.

And if we said the same of some other people's ancestors? Where would they be today?

Contrary to what the Nugent idiot said about indigenous people, if you ain't Native American, you are an immigrant and this wasn't your original home.

If they want to live here......follow the law.....it can be done.

Did the Native American have any immigration laws for others to follow???

I like how the liberals make it seem like these were a bunch of 5 year old coming all by themselves, as if there weren't a lot of adults also.

They should all be shipped across the border immediately. No housing, no meals, no medical treatment. Get on the bus (not Greyhound luxury coach either, but the cheapest bus available) and be told, "next time come here the proper way".

[detwahDJ, I am deliberately not responding to you]...not worth it.

Because you cannot, and I have the simplistic RW mentality totally figured out. Not rocket science anyway.

BTW you wouldn't like the refugees coming "the proper way" either. Here it is - the big fear:
GOP Congressman Accuses Democrats Of Waging A 'War On Whites'

Quote: "This is a part of the war on whites that’s being launched by the Democratic Party."

Quote: "It's part of the strategy that Barack Obama implemented in 2008, continued in 2012, where he divides us all on race, on sex, greed, envy, class warfare, all those kinds of things."

There it is - it's all due to colored folk (including our President) and their Democratic supporters. Obama "divided us" how? Oh, I know....by getting himself elected (to a place he "don't belong").

Quote: "the fastest growing voting bloc in this country thinks the Republican Party hates them."

That big fear again. People know repubs, who own the corporate media, by their actions and words.

Quote: "It doesn't make any difference if you're a white American, a black American, a Hispanic American, an Asian American or if you're a woman or a man. Every single demographic group is hurt by falling wages and lost jobs,”

OK, as a republican spokesman "concerned" about jobs, why has he no jobs program over six years and why is he obstructing jobs legislation proposed by the democrats whom he holds "responsible" and now chastises?
Here's how dumb he thinks (hopes) Americans are. He blames undocumented aliens for loss of jobs and lowered wages (not outsourcing and congressional obstructionism of course), but it is his own base which hires and profits from them.
He inadvertently admits that businesses are profiting from this, so why not punish the employers? Well, they are apt to be republicans.
It's as I said, these guys are just as phony as I have been pointing out.
