I am beyond amazed. Not only do we open our borders, but we send them help.

You would think amnesty would be enough goodwill. Bush is the gift that keeps on giving.

[Snoopers-868th]

I agree, this is just way over compassion—it is more like IN YOUR FACE.

[RasterMaster]

Talk about MISUSE of military assets, this one takes the cake!

[MayflowerMadam]

And in our house we’re spending time and effort to figure out how we’ll be able to pay for medical care during retirement. I guess we don’t count, though; we’re Americans. Our tax money is better spent healing the people who’ll come back to attack us in a few years. Nothing makes sense any more.

[devane617]

...and sending the Navy at taxpayers expense.

[devane617]

...Nothing makes sense any more...

I have never seen a situation so completely out of control as our country is at this moment.

[Hydroshock]

I guarantee that if that ship pulled in the Port of Houston (or any US port for that matter) she and her crew would have all the poor patents who are American Citizens they could handle and then some. Way to go Jorge (NOT!!)

[Shaun_MD]

I don’t know whether to laugh at the absurdity or cry and rage.

So if someone gives birth on this ship, is the baby a U.S. citizen?

[Dead Dog]

Bush needs to read up on Kipling’s work.

[Sybeck1]

I would have a little more understanding if there had been a hurricane or something.

[devane617]

I would think the answer is yes. The child would be a US citizen.

[SJSAMPLE]

So now we’re bringing healthcare directly to turd world nations?

[Vigilanteman]

Sending this kind of help would be fine with me as long as the ship was filled to capacity with deportees.

Americans have traditionally been a kind, generous and caring people. We send everything from Peace Corps workers to missionaries to secular humanitarian volunteers all over the world. We do not have to bring the world here save for very exceptional cases where the technology or expertise cannot practically travel.

El Presidente appears to believe he is called to be the world’s savior.

[California Patriot]

I no longer support the president, but I do favor and support this mission.

[Rushmore Rocks]

After the Third World countries experience our great medical facilities, expect even more of their citizens to break through the non-existant “fence”.

I don’t know if I should laugh or cry at this.
