Nancy Pelosi: Americans Should Treat Immigration Influx As 'Opportunity' to Help 'God's Children'
Christian Post ^ | 07/01/2014 | Katherine Webber

Posted on 07/01/2014 9:58:51 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

House Minority leader Nancy Pelosi recently said while visiting the U.S.-Mexico border this past weekend that Americans should see the influx of children immigrating to the U.S. as an "opportunity," rather than a "crisis," arguing that they are all "God's children."

The House Democratic leader made her comments while visiting the Texas-Mexico border over the weekend. According to Fox News, Pelosi argued on Saturday that Americans should see the influx of immigrating children as a humanitarian opportunity, rather than a crisis, although the Democrat did admit that the situation has "crisis qualities."

"This crisis that some call a crisis, we have to view as an opportunity," Pelosi said. "If you believe as we do that every child, every person has a spark of divinity in them, and is therefore worthy of respect – what we saw in those rooms was [a] dazzling, sparkling, array of God's children, worthy of respect."

Pelosi added that the influx should serve as an "opportunity to show who we are as Americans, that we do respect people for their dignity and worth."

The House Minority Leader made her comment as the Obama administration prepares to ask for added funding totaling $2 billion to better handle the surge of immigrants crossing the U.S. border. Additionally, the administration has assigned Federal Emergency Management Agency administrator Craig Fugate to deal with the surge at a federal level.

According to The Washington Times, an estimated 60,000 to 90,000 children are expected to illegally cross the U.S. border by the end of the year. Most of the children travel from South America, through Mexico and cross into the U.S. via Texas.

Actually, I think if they are “God’s children”, we should help arrange for a reunion.

But no consideration, or mercy, for God’s children who are still in the Womb! What a shining example of Catholicism! /extreme sarcasm alert

Hey Stretch, change “room” to “womb” in your quote and I think you’re on to something.

Liberals can turn a child of god into “Got’s Chiren?”.
There is nothing they won’t use in their unquenchable
thirst for POWER.

What is the net worth of Pelosi, her husband, and son? Let's see the example she is setting.

What gated community do the Pelosis live in and how many illegal immigrants can take up residence in their neighborhood?

Typical fascist liberal, be compassionate with other people's money, oh, and it happens to help them stay in power too.

They all need to be sent to CA..SFO if possible. Let the liberals there deal with the problem.
Liberalism is a mental disorder. The US cannot be the orphanage for the world.
These kids need to be sent home to their families. If the countries won’t take them..then stop issuing visa’s to citizens of those countries and see how fast they roll over. If the oligarchs can’t come to Miami and LA..they will quickly change things.

What about the dazzling, sparkling, array of God’s children whose killing you call “sacred ground”? You pit demon.

Sure.
Teach them the rule of Law. It will be a good life lesson. The worst thing you can do for them is to start them off in life with the impressions that laws are meaningless.

It is not like these people are starving. This is just an exodus to get free stuff and handouts. And the Demonrats are recruiting them in their lust to hold onto power.

This immigration hoax is a war on American taxpayers.

These are future voters who cannot help but vote for the unsightly tightly stung handout hag of San Francisco, Nancy Pelosi!
