There are about 50,000 refugees at our borders. They are under the age of 12. They have family somewhere here in the United States. Our borders are NOT any more open than they ever were Mike Huckabee - Mr. "Put On Your Christian Coat When It's Convenient". And that goes for the rest of us too. The only difference now is that we are catching them. President Obama has deported more illegals than any other President in history. The right ignores this....acting as though these are 50,000 illegals that got in and are now working in Burger Kings. No, they got caught. They are kids, and they are sleeping on the floor in a detention center somewhere.
Here's the deal on some of the countries these kids come from. They are some of the most violent, deadliest places on the planet. If you make it to age 30 you've done something. In Honduras, when you reach the age of say 12 or 13 you are snagged by a local gang, and "claimed". How do they do this? They tattoo you with their insignia or whatever. Your options. Stay and kill until you are killed at a very young age, or flee. So they flee. They head north. Through treacherous territory to say the least. These are vulnerable children. But they made it this far. Many didn't, by the way.
And then when they reach our border, they are caught. And then the tatts are identified and FOX News declares that many are gang members coming in to wreak havoc in the good old US of A. Because these kids that actually want to work for a living doing what we don't want to do, are easier to pick on, than say, the mob.
Here is your chance Repubs. You could actually step up and maybe garner some Latino vote. But you won't. You would rather cling to your fading belief that America won't be a brown nation in about 30 years. Keep hanging on Repubs.
Hey, I like being white too. It's still the best game in town. But it isn't going to be forever. We can keep fighting a losing battle or try and be more inclusive.
And how do we do that? But implementing more realistic immigration reforms Mike Huckabee. Not like the ones that let your ancestors and mine slip in so easily...(although my first ancestor came in in 1635 as an indentured man, but by 1650 was allowed to vote). But real ease of becoming a citizen. One of your right wing brethren suggested they be made to get a Bachelor's degree AND serve in the military. But the Tea Baggers fed him to the wolves and now he is gone.
You know what I love about the Tea Party? They are going to keep Dems in the White House. And that's okay as long as the Dem is the best candidate, like last time. You know who has the best Repub numbers right now? Rand Paul. Hillary will eat him for lunch. Wake up dummies. You can either be afraid of the Tea Party and be afraid to kick them out, or you can have the White House. Decide. I hope you continue to fear the Tea Party. Dummies.
You know, if Hollywood made a movie about Kindertransport, where all the little Jewish children were fleeing from their countries to get away from terror and murder, we'd all go see it and hope it won the Best Picture Oscar. But then again. Those kids were white.
