Make the Border Kids Americans
Politico ^ | July 17, 2014 | Hugh Hewitt

Posted on 07/18/2014 8:19:45 AM PDT by C19fan

Approximately 90,000 minors have entered the country in the two years since President Obama, whether out of the best of intentions, cynical political calculation or as another of his serial expressions of incompetence, allowed the idea to take hold abroad that kids who were brought to the country would be allowed to stay. Numbers are swelling rapidly and detention centers are bursting at the seams. Among them are thousands of unaccompanied Central American children—approximately 52,000 since October, according to federal records .....................................................

The very young among them should find “forever families” right here, right now. They should become Americans. The process is not hard to imagine in broad outline or to implement quickly.

Parents must not be allowed to profit by sending their children across the border unaccompanied.

Either the children are to be reunited with their families in their home countries, or they must be kept here, while their families are excluded.

It should be presumed that anybody who hands over a child to a coyote is an unfit parent, and parental rights should be terminated. If the children are to be kept here, they will need to be placed in either a humane group educational setting or with unrelated adoptive families.

But under no circumstances should parents be permitted to “bootstrap” themselves across the border by sending a child ahead of them.

“The very young among them should find “forever families” right here, right now. They should become Americans. The process is not hard to imagine in broad outline or to implement quickly.”

He’s got to be kidding.
He’s obviously never been involved in the adoption process and what it takes to sever parental rights. especially for foreigns. There is a body of international law concerning that, to avoid trafficking.
Just try going to Guatemala and adopting a kid!

I can't read this.

Please someone tell me Hugh Hewitt is using irony, or sarcasm or something to make an opposite point.

He cannot be this disconnected from reality. No one could be.

Hewitt was taking a beating last night on his show as he was promoting this. It wasn’t so much the callers as probably email and tweets. It showed in his voice.

I’m listening to him less and less. This adoption program of his is a joke.

Americanize these basically socialist-inculcated kids? Who? The US educational system?

Build a fence? Does he think we’re stupid? We’ve heard all of this before.

He is crapping all over his brand, much the same as Marco Rubio did.

One has to understand that Hewitt is an elite. He went to the best schools, got a law degree from an Ivy League school, worked in DC and is basically a proponent of working within the system as corrupt as it is.

His political philosophy lines up with our about 85% of the time but he is still an elite.

Increasingly, as I listen to him, I find myself muttering like an idiot: blah, blah, blah.

Hewitt and Medved are huge libs.

That has become clear as evidence by their gradual disappearance from the airwaves.

There are probably 2 billion people in the world living in terrible conditions. To be fair; we should bring all of them here as well.
Right?

Is Hugh Hewitt going liberal on us? What the heck?

He's the radio mouthpiece for the GOPe.

He was for Romney before Romney was for Romney.

Solution: Every illegal adult immigrant has to take in an unaccompanied minor immigrant or BOTH will be deported. Solved.

“The very young among them should find “forever families” right here, right now. They should become Americans.”

Won’t happen. Can’t happen.

Sam Clements noted the difference between a starving dog and a starving man, in this case the Bambino Lartinos, is that later, the dog won’t attack you.

Hugh, boobie, here are several YOU can take into YOUR home immediately. Unless, of course, you'd rather wait until after you purchase that Colt 1911 you've had your eye on for a few years and get that CCW permit and...

Oh wait. I forgot you live in a jurisdiction where private citizens cannot HAVE weapons. You can solve that problem by simply joining your new roomies in MS13. As most of us know, those firearm restrictions don't apply to them.

I used to live in a fantasy world where I drank the magic potion and believed almost everyone was a “conservative” when in reality almost all of them were Republican moderates-liberals-GOPe posing as conservatives to suck me into supporting the 95 percent of Republican elected officials-candidates that are non-conservative.
