Gov. Haley: Immigration situation ‘just wrong’
COLUMBIA, S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley said it’s wrong for the federal government to expect states to accept unattended children who are illegally crossing the U.S.-Mexico border while providing no information on them.
“We do care about these children. We do want them to be safe. But we also have our own children to take care of,” she said Thursday evening during a panel discussion of Republican governors at the Aspen Institute in Colorado.
“We’ve got our foster children in every one of our states and we are trying to balance a budget,” she said. “And because they won’t do the one basic thing of securing our border, we are now taking on additional children. It’s just wrong. It’s wrong. And when we ask who these children are or where they are, Secretary Johnson said we can’t tell you because of privacy issues.”
But a South Carolina advocate for the poor said it’s never wrong to protect children who are fleeing danger.
Haley, whose parents emigrated from India, said America is great because of legal immigrants like them.
“Secure our border and restore the rule of law, and in so doing, prevent untold thousands of additional children from enduring what is undoubtedly a horrifying ordeal,” she wrote in a July 17 letter to U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson.

Muzzies in Crossville!? I know there are beaucoup Somalis in Nashville & Murfreesboro, the site of the 52,000 sq ft mega mosque, but this is new.
I drive I-40 regularly. Wonder if the Cookeville Cross is now going to come under the muzzies’ hostile gaze?
Then there’s that U.S. attorney Killian creep who threatens federal prosecution of any critics of Islam or jihad in Tennessee.
Well if they’re dumped in the peoples republic of memphis then it’ll be just like home. Dem run, full of corruption, crime and gangs.
EXCLUSIVE: HHS Bankrolled Catholic and Baptist Church from 2010 to 2013 to Prepare for Obamas 2014 Invasion!
They don’t tell anyone and when the cities don’t take them in here comes the fed’s forcing them to pay for them.
Well, until I read this I had some hope for Crossville. :(
I think that’s the plan. But I keep asking why Obama is doing this. I know a lot of people say because they will vote democrat but there has to be another reason. He is trying to keep out certain groups. What is his end game?
Not sure but I see people revolting over it. I wonder when it’ll be a national thing.
Woodrow was no Obama hate the constitution type.
