Looks like a group of Canadians in the current era.

I can only begin to imagine how hard it must have been for them. Those first settlers would look at present day humans and think us a bunch of lazy slobs.

In ways it was far easier than Europe. Lots of game to eat. Wood for building and heat was hard to come by in Europe. Disease rampant, crazy crime, oppression, taxes, persecution, no work, no land, famines, wars.

For them it was a Paradise until the English came.

I really do hate to nitpick but that would be 'they're', 'they are' or 'dey'.

Last week Obama was criticized for doing too much. This week it's not enough. Where will the next wind blow?

Yeah - and isn't it amazing how he is responsible in the eyes of the deluded right wing for opening up Guatemala's, Honduras's, Belize's, El Salvador's, and Mexico's borders as well as our own???

Another song in the endless broken record of the delusional right wing.

I would not be able to look those children in the eye and tell them "sorry, don't want ya. Too bad a fluke of nature had you born in the wrong country and too bad you have to live under insane violence and poverty, but you didn't fill out the right forms."

These poor innocent children. It's heartbreaking.

Had you ever seen the historic display by Hells Gate on Hwy 1? The first time I saw it, I couldn't believe what these men did. The men must have been built like Thor. Walking for miles and miles up steap terrain and lugging all their gear.

My max is 35lbs and 22km over 2 days. I have light stuff, special backpacking equipment the explorers never had. They were lugging around the same terrains without the aid of a path.

I understand the financial issues involved in allowing unrestricted immigrants across. I just feel very sad for these children.

Poverty creates a endless supply of criminals and terrorists.

Why did you add Belize to that list.. the Belize economy is great, the dollar is pegged 50% of the USD, Commonwealth Nation and Laws. It's like living in Canada, just warmer.

I live in the area with the greatest concentration of illegal aliens per capita in the USA because of the proximity of Big Business Farms in the Pajaro and Salinas Valleys. Those are corporate farms which need uneducated and unskilled people who are willing to work for slave wages. My hometown is simply overwhelmed by the Third World. It's going to get worse, not better. Santa Cruz County has become like Caracas or Bogota with rich, poor, and a dying middle class. The Third Worlders have no connection to American history, culture or traditions. What distinguishes them from prior generations of immigrants is that they will never be assimilated because that principle is no longer operative. Instead, they have become a separate tribe.

These facts tend to produce curious effects in the resident population of Americans. The extreme left here is fine with the Third Worlders in the abstract, but does not want to live or associate with peons or their gangbanger children. The other groups of Americans have become fatalistic or radicalized by the inundation of ignorance and poverty from the Third World.

The experience of being replaced reminds me of what happened to the First Peoples in America. Some attempted to accommodate the white replacements while others attempted to stem the tide. Neither approach worked. I have turned to detachment and gallows humor. That's why I suggest we eat the Children's Crusade from Central America breaking on this shore.

What's particularly disheartening is my belief that the waves of illegals coming here are being orchestrated by the established order for the purpose of replacing Traditional Americans with a more docile and dependent population that will extinguish my identity and creed.

You got a point there - after all if people can afford to pay $4000 to send a kid overseas they sure can afford to pay for luxuries at home. And the weather is just awesome. Oh well, I hope they know what they are doing.
