"One of the great founding principles of our country was that children would not be punished for the mistakes of their parents,” Cantor said in a 2013 speech..."What?
These people just make stuff up as the go along. Very good that he was defeated.
Look, if parents from Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador, etc. are allowing their children to be shipped to the southern US border...and make no mistake, THAT is precisely what is happening here, the kids did not walk across Central American jungles by themselves, get through the Mexican southern border and just magically show up on the Texas, New Mexico, Arizona borders with no food or water...anyhow, if they are allowing their kids to be used this way, it's on them and the people using them. NOT on the Citizens of the United States.
I say, set up a Guatemalen Sea-Lift and pay for commercial cargo ships to take these kids back to Central Amnerica, and to pay for Peace Corp people to accomp[any themn and feed them in route...and then take the money to do that DIRECTLY OUT OF FOREIGN AID FUNDS of those effected countries.
You would see this stuff stop over night.
Then...when the kids are back in their countries...CUT OFF ANY MORE FOREIGN AID to the countries allowing this to happen. Every penny.
We also need to launch a global investigation WRT (1) Obama's collusion and conspiracy w/ these savage countries to transport children thousands of miles.....(2) determine the scope and dimension of tax dollars and other emoluments extorted to pay for this....and, (3) what Obama promised in return for the new Democrat voters.
