"Suppose that one of these “illegal” minors was your neighbor ... trying hard to put the traumatic journey from his native, violence-ridden country to America behind him. Would you, with a clear conscience, pick up the phone and turn him in?"

I'm sure many of them are my neighbors. Who do I call that would actually do something? Government policy is to allow and assist la Reconquista and to label anyone opposed a racist.

She certainly looks like she’s prospered in a country she didn’t help create or fight for.

Damn! I can’ help it. It’s that old-fashioned nativism escaping again.

Look, b!tch! I don’t need your advice as to how this country needs to function.

Go away! Pest!

YES, I have been calling the Border Patrol to pick up illegals for over 25 years, I am not about to stop now.

Tacit admission they have no rational debating points.

“Reason” staff has been getting the red-a$$ over this stance on their Facebook page.

I know this because I’m one of those people calling them idiots for this stance.

I'd not only turn him in, I'd turn in his aunt and uncle for aiding and abetting, then go and have a ham sandwich.

I have NO -- repeat -- NO -- moral obligation to the rest of the world. Just as they have no obligation to me.

This guy is an idiot,
If we did not have a WELFARE STATE they would not be here.
And they are all cowards running away instead of standing and fighting their own corrupt government. Have you ever sat back and looked at WE call the third world?? every last third world hellhole on earth is run by COMMUNIST DICTATORS, including Mexico.

Only sociopaths/psychopaths refuse to acknowledge the difference between legal and illegal immigration.

You are right. The rule of law is blind and does not see color or race. The purpose of our immigration laws is to protect our country, not exclusion.

If you look up the definition of nativism, it can either mean “protecting the interests of native inhabitants” (what’s wrong with that??), or “an irrational prejudice against immigrants”. I think we all know which definition the author is using.

The author is attempting to make nativism the new “n” word.

Ugh.

“Here’s a question for the proud Americans demanding that the unaccompanied foreign children showing up at our borders be deported: Suppose that one of these “illegal” minors was your neighbor, living with his aunt and uncle, going to school during the day, kicking ball with friends in the evening, trying hard to put the traumatic journey from his native, violence-ridden country to America behind him. Would you, with a clear conscience, pick up the phone and turn him in?”

Here’s the real question... there are almost a MILLION “illegal” minors on your doorstep, wanting to live with his (cough) aunt and uncle, using scarce school funding resources during the day, etc... How do you handle that?

It’s not ONE freaking kid, it’s a MILLION! How do we handle that when we are $17T in debt, our Vets aren’t getting the care they were promised, Medicare and SS are going bankrupt, etc.

Stop sticking your head in the sand and GROW UP!!!
