Glenn Beck: This is probably the hardest thing I have ever asked of you (For the children!)
Glenn Beck ^ | 6/23/14 | Glenn Beck

Posted on 06/23/2014 6:08:51 PM PDT by Viennacon

Glenn and TheBlaze have been covering the growing crisis at the southern border for a number of weeks now. With the situation further deteriorating, Glenn came before his audience on Monday morning with an interesting ask. In fact, Glenn described what he was about to say as “the hardest thing” he has ever asked for. But as he shared troubling new information about the humanitarian crisis at the border, Glenn asked his listeners to consider donating to Mercury One.

I’m not going to tell you who is giving me this information because things down at the border are extraordinarily difficult and not what you are being told it is. The Administration – and I believe this also includes the progressives Republicans – are trying to keep the lid on the media right now. And the churches are the ones who are pulling people’s feet out of the fire. Our state reps now have gone and toured the facilities that are happening in Laredo, Brownsville, Van Horn, McAllen, and all across the border. This one particular facility that I want to talk to you about holds 400 people but currently it has 1,200 kids in it. Some of them are toddlers. 1,200. 400 is what the max capacity is.

Let me ask you: How fast would the federal government or the state shut you down if you had anything that said maximum capacity 400, and you had 1,200 people if there? Three times the amount. Is anybody seeing a problem with this? The federal government is breaking their own laws and they are keeping this information from us.

I am told by people who have toured and work at this facility that when they open the doors to go in, the stench is so bad the politicians that were to go in gagged and backed out. One of the churches is planning on converting their entire church, the largest in the area, to become a holding facility because of how bad things are. Things are so desperate right now, hygiene and food are the number one problem. Clothes are further down the list. They need portable showers and Port-A-Johns. They have no way to wash their clothes. They need food and hygiene care right now. Many of them have not eaten in days. FEMA is supposed to be down there. They are not down there.

Today, I want to appeal to you. I want you to just think about this, please. The two citizenships that we hold. We will destroy our country if we only recognize the citizenship that we have in our country. If the Constitution of the United States of America is our god, then we are lost already. Our God is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Our God demands certain things from us. He demands us to see each other. He demands that we help each other. He demands that we help the child. We help the suffering. We are the Good Samaritan.

There are some who are going to say, ‘I’m not going to help the people. They came across the border.’ Well, okay, but they’re here now. They’re on our border. Yes, some of them may be MS-13. That’s a different argument. We can sort out who’s who after we take care of people. That’s for the government to do. I’m not talking about we’re going to send them into our cities.

What is this crap? More proof of insanity? I bet these kids parents are laughing their heads off right now. We have to pay for THEIR kids, and in a few years, they get to come and leech of the taxpayer too!

SEND THEM BACK TO GUATEMALA DAMN IT!

American families are suffering in the Obamaconomy and now we have to support all the children of the third world? No. You want to get these kids the things they need, send them back to their countries, back to their parents. It may not be the Ritz, but it has toilets, it has food, that's life.

This entire thing is a ponzi scheme to bring in and breastfeed more potential rat voters, America bailing out the third world.

I am sick of this!

Sounds like Beck is back to crying on the air. Ratings must be tanking, time for a little melodrama and demagoguery.

No. Just no. We did not ask them to come. Let the Liberal bleeding hearts that want open borders send in money.

He is ABSOLUTELY 100% correct.

I know who my King is, and I know what He would want me to do. Glen Beck is 100% correct.

I will put my money where my mouth is. I know my God, and I know what is right.

Think about it. Thanks to Soros’ $Billions spent in campaigning against the “failed” war in Iraq, today American son won’t be going to combat for Qatar, and our manchurian leader.

God is good always.

I bet they're really determined to pass Amnesty now - for the children! At least that is what they will tell their rube constituents.

Maudlin and confused.

Sorry, err….no I’m not.

“And the churches are the ones who are pulling people’s feet out of the fire.”


That is always the case ... after hurricanes, earthquakes, etc.

The feds just show up for the photo ops (got to keep the taxpayer funding their pensions, bonuses, retirement, and other benefits) and hand out taxpayer dollars. They really don’t want to be bothered by such situations.

Sounds like Glenn has officially flown the coop...if he hasn’t already done so multiple times over at this point. Sure, let’s give illegal aliens exactly what they want: that’ll show them how strong we are!

We are not the world’s police. We are not the world’s caretakers. It’s about time for America to tell the rest of the world to go care for itself because we don’t even have enough to take care of ourselves thanks to King Obama’s spending.

Glenn should ask his charity arm, Mercury One, to help provide them baths, clean clothes and a nice bus ride back home.

IOW, he is taking the biased word of liberals as gospel. And then has the nerve to chide people whom he alleges make the US Constitution (a document designed for a “moral and religious people”) into a god, while distorting what God actually instructed us to do.

What? So now we’re all on the hook to pay for the children that other people decided to have and then send here? Yes, let the veterans die while we pay for little Juan whose parents are mooching fraudsters.

Here’s an idea. Before you get a dime from me, I want these kids parents back in El Salvador to have EVERYTHING they own sold to pay for junior. Their cars, their houses, their TV sets, their fruit bowls, their mopeds.

Does anyone wanna bet the parents of these kids are right now sitting watching the World Cup without a care in the world. Astounding.

It’s under Obama that we are ceasing to be the (alleged) “world police”. If anyone else takes that job, they will try to police us, make no mistake.

I don’t even know what to say. Beck has, indeed, gone insane.
