It's interesting that the WH's statement from Obama on this calls it a "Humanitarian Situation."
Huh? The US "got something" when the first transaction took place. Until those dollars are used to purchase something, the uS wins, regardless of where that dollar is spent.
Plus it would create a surplus of troops we could send to the middle east that are heat tolerant.
Huh? They most certainly are coming across the border and then turning themselves in. If they just come to a border entry point, we would deny them entry and that's that. The law about treating them humanely that Bush signed doesn't come into play until they're actually in the country.
Theyre not coming across the border; they're coming TO the border and begging to be let in. (At least most of them are, from what I understand).
Yes I believe it's correct.
The locations they are turning themselves in are within our border. That would seem rather obvious as turning themselves in on the Mexico side would be a bit odd. It's not like there is a giant red line in Texas and they are standing on it. They have to cross to turn themselves in.
As if!
I agree with you! We may differ on our solutions, but we should all realize that the source of the problem is not here in the United States.
It makes you think about what it means to come here. IMO, refugees from other countries make for the best of American citizens, because they want to be here so badly and are so grateful for the chance. History has consistently demonstrated this to be so. We should look at these children not as a burden but as an asset to our future.
This Horatio Alger koolaid has to be schtick.
It isn't, but thats the wrong analogy anyhow. They dont need to go from rags to riches to become good Americans. They simply need to grow up to become people who give us more value than what they take.
Some will, some won't. We don't know if it will be a net positive until 40 years after the wave. But until then it will be a big strain on our system. A system that wasn't nearly as large 50 years ago.
I know you believe this. I respectfully disagree.
Of course they will. But I don't believe it's an especially heavy burden (perhaps for a specific community but not for us as a nation to absorb,) it's more like a good investment IMO.
Your shtick is magnificent, your ability to bait people while appearing to be a real person who sincerely believes the idiocy spewing from his keyboard. It is so effortless and you correctly put the words in the right order to make sentences even though you have no clue what the sentence actually means. I can't even comprehend your level of brilliance to be able to think through and issue and come up with the most wrong opinion to post in order to keep up your character of a typing mental patient, how do you do it? Day after day?
You must have made a killing investing the Romanian Orphan market.
Once someone gets permission to stay they can gradually bring family back. A good friend of mine had almost his entire family brought back this way. It started with his dad and then one kid at a time, then mom, then grandparents, uncles, aunts. Took about a decade.
If this is true it's indefensible.
For me, my default judgment on a Tim post is that he's wrong. That's one reason I ask him for backing documentation frequently. He loves to make assertions he has never verified, just heard on some talk show. I suppose that's one way to form opinions. Just not mine.He often is wrong.
