GOP, show you care about kids at border
CNN ^ | July 18, 2014 | By Maria Cardona

Posted on 07/18/2014 4:28:34 PM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

Madness has gripped our border. I am not talking about the migrant children fleeing from crime and violence in their home countries in Central America and looking for the opportunity to live a better life. I am talking about the misguided protesters—and the right-wing public officials that egg them on, railing against anything they think even might be an immigrant.

Republicans need to get hold of themselves, understand facts and keep their anti-immigrant extremist voices in check. If they don't do it for the country's future, they should at least do it for their own political survival. Republicans cannot afford to further alienate the county's largest minority. If the GOP does not reverse its lack of Latino support, it can say good-bye to its chances of getting to the Casa Blanca.

So, how about dropping the political posturing and perhaps redeeming the party in the face of a crisis that could not be more personal to Latinos? This may be too much to ask.

Always the obscuring of legal and illegal immigrants. You’d almost think it was intentional.

Hear that GOP? If you support the Rule of Law and national sovereignty, you’re toast with Hispanic voters. Because those moderates and independents will vote for the communist Rats every time. LOL

I do care about them. I care about them more than this ditzy bimbo, Maria Cardona, cares about them. I want to show some love and reunite them with their families in Central America ASAP!!! Unlike this ditzy broad, I don’t want my country turned into another Central America or Mexico. FUMC

I agree, show the world the compassion of the GOP. Send the kids back to be with their loving parents. Now that, to me, is compassion.

“I am talking about the misguided protesters—and the right-wing public officials that egg them on..”

Oh my, how typical of a marxist, trying to paint the opposition with their own brand of nonsense. Seems those little occupy freaks needed to be ‘egged on’...
True Americans have no need to wait and be told when to object to something so blatant and lawless.

So sick of the idiots who get to spew their garbage.

Maria Cardona sounds like an extremist hispanic supremacist who wants more of her own people up here for her own racist reasons.

Don't let the bigots win - stop illegal immigration.

I DON’T Care, and I’m not ashamed to put the needs of my own country first, unlike Obama.

Put them back over the border. Then Mexico can show it cares.

I care and have a history of saying that we should be more concerned about this hemisphere rather than fighting Arab wars in the mideast. That doesn’t mean that we can solve everyone’s problems by bringing them here.

We care. Reunite the kids with their parents in their home countries. Bill the home countries for all expenses (or deduct from any foreign aid they receive from us).

Enforce the law!!

Secure the border!

Send them home!!
