By all means, open up your hearts.
Feed them, shower them, and then open up the bus doors and take them back to where they belong.
If America is not any more exceptional than any other nation, why would they make their way here? Take them back to their own equally exceptional countries.
Judy: Your proposal to:
“Open up your hearts.
Feed them, shower them, and then open up the bus doors and take them back to where they belong.”
Is almost exactly what Glenn is proposing. Too bad most of the posters here seem to be the conservative versions of what I dislike most about progressives. They resort to name calling without reading or listening to what they are criticizing. There is always things someone does that you don’t like and Glenn has his faults. I initially disagreed with him on this until I heard him out and now find that he is offering a reasonable solution. It may not be the perfect solution but it is not crazy. Basically:
- have compassion on the children.
- in the short term treat them with dignity
- send them back home with a powerful story of the compassionate America (long term win-win)
- Shut down the border immediately
- Enforce Our laws
- Enforce Our laws
- Enforce our laws
He is asking the public sector, not the government to help the children. He doesn’t want one more dime from the government to be apportioned. He is using his charity organization www.mercuryone.org to help the children. This is one of the few I know where every penny given to a specific cause gets to the recipients.
So if these are the ideas of a nut case then I guess I’m a nut case too, cause they seem reasonable to me.
