Typical of This Administration

But typical FOX- the actual story is kids fleeing from nations so torn by poverty and violence that their parents are trying to save their children's lives by sending them away, but for FOX it's EWWW SCABIES!

Jesus wept.

The reason that the parents are sending their kids here is not because of the poverty and violence. There has always been poverty and violence in those countries. Yet in 2012, it was estimated that 6,500 of these underage immigrants came here. This year the number is over 90,000. It has nothing to do with the poverty or violence. It has to do with their belief that the policy of this Administration is "catch and release". Obama is now starting to speak out publicly saying people should not send their kids here because we are going to send them back. I'm glad he's finally speaking out. But what he's saying is not totally true. They are going to send some back but they are going to let others stay.

I agree with you that our country is a better place to live than countries that are poor and have a lot of violence. But what do you think we should do? Do you think we should just open our borders and let anyone in? I'm just as much of a humanitarian as you are but I'm certainly not in favor of an open border.
