Hey Capt., I think the US has about the same right to question moral integrity as , say;, oh, Nigeria, or Serbia. Maybe China.:lol:
It was a side comment on the wonderfulness and flag-waving patriotic terrificity of the "private enterprise" that's clamped onto the government teat. With fangs.Then what's you angle on this?
Fair for me to assume then that you are questioning the moral integrity of these actions?
Ah, FOX snooze! Never miss a chance to stick an ice pic in the man's eye.
Bingo, I would assume that means signing all the conditional forms sooner rather than later. I would assume the level of care you give is equal to what you can bill the UN for. Here is an example of how those homeless (temp condition so the money won't last forever) can help create jobs. No shelf re-stockers needed if there are no customers and for somebody from where they come from it will seem like Disenyland. Our choice if we give them bobbles and beads to take back home or use that as a gateway to having responsible consumers who demand and get quality consumer items at an affordable price.The UN has said this is a refugee problem. Don't all nations have an obligation to help refugees?
Wonder how much that charter flight cost the government? If it went according to Federal contract practice, probably about the same per head as a first-class seat to Australia.
Little realism from a Honduran cop. . .
They are traveling 1,400 miles with hardly any luggage from a bus station controlled by an extortion ring and used for trafficking women and contraband cigarettes; last Thursday the Honduran military police deployed 200 officers to break up the ring.
“We are not going to stop sending people, and you guys are not going to be able to stop them from getting in,” said Lt. Col. Reyes Garcia, one of the officers leading the bus station operation. “You cannot focus on just one reason that people want to leave for the United States.”

What I take from it is that this is a really tough problem. "Let them in" won't work. Neither will "build a big ol' fence." We need rational people to debate and negotiate with a single goal. Here's the mission statement:Probably so. Probably less than their first entitlement check though.
Great article.
“Of course I am going again. I have to have a house. I do not have a place to live. If I want to or not, if the gringos like it or not, I am coming.”
Nope. I'm just tired of folks screaming past each other. I see what's happening. The bleeding hearts are saying these are all cute widdle kiddies in horrible danger. The f*ck-'em-I-got-mine crowd is saying they're all brutal gang bangers. That's just the start of the lies.
spits coffee and asks for your line on cheap alien servants.Well, that and I like cheap servants.
I explain this over and over to the conservative bash the refugee claimant crowd.It's a lead-pipe cinch somebody said the same thing about your grandparents. But the fact is most of these folks, or their children, will go on to become taxpayers. Again, you paint with too broad a brush, having concluded without evidence and untruthfully that all these people will be on public assistance forever.
So I'm thinking eventually in less than 10 years 85% of that money will be back in government coffers somehow.
That measurement is not based in years, but in the number of transactions resulting from that capital. The gvt could conceivably get those funds back inside of a couple of months
What I take from it is that this is a really tough problem. "Let them in" won't work. Neither will "build a big ol' fence." We need rational people to debate and negotiate with a single goal. Here's the mission statement:
To adopt, fund, and enforce immigration policy with maximum effectiveness for reasonable cost, including sufficient flexibility to address humanitarian crises.
Obviously not a task for politicians.
I see your point and it is relevant , but the fact remains these kids would not being doing this if they came from Disneyland or any G7 country.

In Canada it goes like this(braces for the rash of insults lol)
You give the refugee about 2 grand a month. His family is housed in apartment complexes only the dregs of humanity would live in, and i'm not talking Community housing. So right there some slum landlord gets to survive it all a bit longer.
the money given to that landlord is taxed, then his income tax is taxed from the profit. the money put in banks is taxed , the money invested by banks is taxed. So that roughly 900 bucks is taxed to hell.
Now anything the family buys will go the same tax route. So I'm thinking eventually in less than 10 years 85% of that money will be back in government coffers somehow.
Now if you look at it from your perspective, it's an investment into our future. Eventually they find jobs and in Canada are taxed to hell, most would agree after all is said and done 52% of every legal working shlub 's wages goes to taxes.
That and the fact these parents want the best for their kids they mostly do well in school.
i know i know now is the time for Locotus to haul out some internet photo of street gangs and some more Fox news propaganda so he can rest easy on his stance.
How far out to sea you gonna extend the fence? Or haven't you ever heard of boats?A fence would work. It works when there is a will and means. When there is no will nor means it doesn't.

Oh, you mean you aren't advocating a fence and nothing else? OK, I'm good with that. I'm good with a fence. I just don't pretend it's the whole solution.It stops the Cubans unless we say come one and all like Jimmy did.
How many tens of thousands are you going to fit on boats. If they came by sea it would be so much easier to turn them around. Look what Canada did to the Tamil ships.
"Turn your s*** around eh!"
