This is nutty as hell. I'd need to see or hear this entire interview here because it sounds just too nutty to be true. I know Bachman can say some off the wall stuff, but come on now.
During an interview with Minnesota’s Twin Cities News Talk, Bachmann revealed her plan while addressing the border crisis. “I’m calling on all of us, Obama and Congress and everyone, to chip in and build special new facilities… `Americanization’ facilities, if you will. And we’d send these kids to these facilities, in Arizona and Texas and wherever else. And we’d get private sector business leaders to locate to those facilities and give these children low-risk jobs to do. And they’d learn about the American way of life, earn their keep, and everyone wins in the end.”
Conservative radio host Jason Lewis asked Bachmann about the camps, and what life might be like for the children sent to them. “Well, we’d of course want these facilities to be ideal, you know, for the children to work and learn. They’d spend half of their day working, and the other half learning what every child should learn, and that’s English, you know, English and American history. And as soon as they learn English with some degree of fluency, they can attend local schools, maybe with a voucher program, or something like that. And then they could work when they aren’t in school.”

Explain what you think we should do instead. Give them apartments, food stamps, free medical, transportation? I dont know about "forced labor", but I like the idea of making them assimilate into our culture.

I say make the people getting food stamps "share" with the immigrant kids.

For school aged children, isn't that what normal schools are for?
Some states are having a real tough time with all these illegal immigrant children. Schools in Massachusetts are getting children that not only don't speak English, they don't speak Spanish either, they speak a dialect from their tribe. this makes trying to teach them difficult, especially when they are in their teens already.
LYNN, Mass. — The national debate over an unprecedented wave of Central American young people entering the country illegally is more of a practical challenge in places like Lynn, a former industrial city outside Boston that’s thousands of miles from the U.S.-Mexico border.
Has Bachman gone off the deep end? That ship has sailed, my friend...a long time ago.
I'm not ready to jump to conclusions, this sounds too ridiculous to be true, but if it were, she's really out of her freaking mind.
The difference is, I may be a conservative, but i'm not a partisan, i call them like i see them. Too many liberals would never call out a democrat politician for saying something ignorant, they's deflect and make up excuses, or justify it in some pretzel logic way.
