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.
The Mexican gang members are funded by the Mexican Drug Cartels that are willingly and gladly supplying our nation’s addiction to marijuana and cocaine...
Borders aren’t irrelevant if you bother to enforce them. Arrest illegal aliens...seize their assest...deport them. Repeat as necessary.
Here’s Glenn’s charity, Mercury One...ask them to provide showers, clothes and bus rides for these *children*, to get back home...

I don't think it is. You said God doesn't care about borders. What would any thinking person infer from that?
"since you’ve pegged me as a liberal (based on going through my scant posting history, which I stand behind) and since I have disclosed some things about me, why don’t you tell us about yourself?"
My posting history is open to anyone who cares to look.
Yes, I have...and most of them don’t have gang tattoos, that’s just sensationalism propagated by Drudge, et al.
“The earth is the LORD’s and everything in it, the world and all the people therein.”
What makes you think that God cares about human borders?
did they get their own “Train”?
no, the guys I know rode on the tops of trains with thousands of others. On the trip witnessing death, rape, robbery, extortion, etc. perpetrated by MS13 and the gang known as the Mexican Federal Gov’t...
There were a few that didn’t ride the train but were stuffed in the trailers of 18 wheelers where they rode standing up and without fresh air.
Really bexardave?!!
Do they get put on planes sent to the Northeast blue states and expect Democratic Mayors to put them up on strained budgets? SPRINGFIELD, MA? BANGOR ME? GIMME A BREAK!
THERE is NO MONEY!!!
Oh, no. Well, we'll have to rectify that right away.
"They did have scars - physical and emotional from the journey, tattered jeans, ripped shirts, fraying shoes. Some did come with gastro-intestinal bugs, TB, scabies and a few other afflictions they picked up from living a few months in the wild."
This is unreal. I must be in an alternate universe.
I've had about enough, my patience is wearing thinner than a cheap toupee. You need to come out of your liberal, bleeding-heart fantasy and wake up. Your country is at stake. If you don't give a damn about saving it, then put your money where your mouth is...move down to the border and devote your life to caring for illegals.
Absolutely agree.
LOL!
That lying rightwing media is at it again, huh?
Our country is broke, our economy is slowly collapsing, wages are falling, prices are skyrocketing, the welfare class is threatening total breakdown, our political system is all but broken too.
We cannot handle millions of foreigners sucking at the quickly-drying teat
I’m not saying they are lying, just that the images I see on Drudge are inconsistent with what I have seen with my own eyes.
Joel 3:2.
I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will enter into judgment with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and have divided up my land.
Therefore.. the people like Obama/a.k.a/Cloward Piven subjected them to horrors that could be best helped by their “Moms and Dads” at home in Central America with love and affection.
Yes, you stop just short of saying certain things, I notice.
Other Freepers, however, HAVE seen it. With their own eyes.
I thought you were talking about their trip from Central America atop La Bestia.
Agreed, we don’t have the money to handle this humanitarian crisis...but it is not going away.
Wow, Catherine, why are you so angry? I am a business owner, payroll paying, tax paying citizen that probably agrees with you on 9 out of 10 issues. AND since I think we both subscribe to the idea that “God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son,” shouldn’t there be a little room for mercy and grace and humility between us or must I agree with you 100% to be your brother and fellow citizen?
And I have, and am, putting my money where my mouth is...that’s the difference between me and a bleeding heart liberal.
