Best thing we could do is pay for their return to whatever Central American country they came from. $40 million dollars to feed; transport via first class air; and $100 each to buy them their own soccer ball, teddy bear, and food for a month once they arrive. That’s a lot cheaper than $3,700 million dollars to Band-Aid (cover-up) the crisis. That’s what Obama wants and Beck played into. Probably not what he believes or wanted to do, but certainly a misstep on his part. (he does it too often)
I was a huge Beck fan years ago, but for many reasons, I don’t see him as helpful to the conservative cause any longer. My reasons are not important because many others may disagree with me. I suppose Tradcon is right about the name calling... I fall into that occasionally and should know better. But retracting the “get back on the meds” statement, I stand by my calling Glenn out for this. It’s not helping. BTW, Tradcon, I did give to Beck’s charitable cause because I love children. Maybe foolish, but it is well intended on my part. Beck is still wrong on this, IMHO.
Here’s the thing, though. This country’s own veterans can’t get the medical care they need...a vet here on FR recently said the VA told him he’ll have to wait two years.
I’m a lot more concerned about them than the children of invaders. Sorry, but that’s the way it is.
Those kids don’t need first class airfare. They just don’t. The more treats you give, the more they will want to come here. And $100 for toys and food for a month? You can’t be serious! Do you really think that money will go toward buying playthings and food once they get back home? The parents who gave them up will have no problems taking it and using it for their own aims.
Look, I love kids, too, but we have got to get a grip on ourselves, and stop allowing our emotions to lead us. My God, we can’t parent the entire world. There are kids right here in this country who need charity.
Thank you.
