Hoyer: If We Built Border Fence, Children Would Just Stand Behind It
cns.com ^ | 7/9/14 | Brittany Hughes

Posted on 07/09/2014 12:37:10 PM PDT by cotton1706

House Democratic Whip Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) says illegal immigrant children would “just stand at the fence” if the federal government built the double-layered fence required under the 2006 Secure Fence Act.

During a press briefing Tuesday, CNSNews.com asked Hoyer, “Should Congress revisit building a physical, double-layered fence as was included in the 2006 Secure Fence Act?”

“Let’s say you build a fence, just hypothetically, and you saw five hundred children standing at the fence, and you saw them standing there 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, 96 hours. There’s a fence there and they can’t go anywhere and they stay there. What do you do?” Hoyer responded.

I see no reason why we should not rescue those children by putting them on a plane and sending them back home along with a bill to their parents for the air fare. After a few weeks or so, they will get the message and stop coming.

What do you do????

Why you would build it higher and make it a solid privacy style fence so you can’t see the little buggers any more.

Stop feeding feral cats and they stop coming around.

As Herman talmadge used to say, “America needs to stop being the policemen and Santa Claus for the whole world!”

Then it is a Mexican crisis. They will have to deal with illegals coming over their border. But, they seem much more willing to jail people.

Hey Steny. What have you been smoking? Those are not American “children”. They aren’t our responsibility. Take your problem up with the governments and taxpayers of the countries they came from. We’ve got enough of our own freakin’ problems here!

Maybe they will paint handball courts on the wall. Or maybe they'll just tag it.

Take down the one around the 1/2 white house and the jails and the airports and the private enclaves of the ‘elite’ lawmakers. Yes, take those down first and lets see what happens. Walls and fences are for a reason. Maroon!

the socalled children are most welcome to admire America (so long as they aren’t allowed to sneak in)

maybe we could pay Mexico to install some Viewing Vistas to facilitate this?

I’d not begrude the funds for this, so long as we get a damned fence built first...

We can secure the border without a fence using the military and state law enforcement. But the invaders wouldn’t even leave Guatemala if they knew we shut down the border.

Steny is an idiot.

Who gives a d____? They can stand there until they rot on their feet, for all I care.

If we are supposed to be a sovereign nation, we have a right to limit who comes here. Otherwise, we will just be overrun with Whothehellknowswho 3rd world diseased, illiterate, low skilled vermin who will eat us out of house and home, crowd our children out of their rightful seats in schoolrooms, bankrupt hospitals so we won't have anywhere to be treated ourselves, and gobble up untold billions of welfare dollars.

Our own children, elderly and disabled will have to go without while Pedro and Juanita do the sexy thang and produce 10 more mouths for us to feed, clothe, shelter, educate, and give medical care to, while contributing virtually nothing to our economy or society.

Eventually, there will be more 3rd world scum sucking off the government teat here than there are producers who pay taxes, and our economy will collapse. Bingo! The moment that bloodless illegal pansy in the White Hut was waiting for all along.

I never in my life heard of such a thing, that the President of the United States is actively working to bring about the destruction of a nation he swore to protect.

When democrats say “children” they are talking about teens not toddlers. I wouldn’t house a immigrant teen under any condition. These are not small children....but most people think small kids when democrats use the word “children”. Think of them as young adults, just like the one’s crossing the border already...
