Until now, the politics of immigration have been seen as a no-lose proposition for President Obama and the Democrats. If they could get a comprehensive overhaul passed, they would win. And if Republicans blocked it, the GOP would further alienate crucial Hispanic and moderate voters.
But with the current crisis on the Southwest border, where authorities have apprehended tens of thousands of unaccompanied Central American children since October, that calculus may be shifting.
Republicans and even some Democrats have accused Obama of being insufficiently engaged in a calamity that many say he should have seen coming.
And the presidents own party is deeply divided over what must be done now particularly on the sensitive question of deporting children who have traveled thousands of miles and turned themselves in to U.S. authorities to escape from the desperate situations they faced in countries such as Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador.
The emergency has also renewed questions about the administrations competence, reminiscent of those raised during the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill, last years botched rollout of the health-care law and more recent revelations of mismanagement that jeopardized care of patients at veterans hospitals.

Rep. Beto ORourke (D-Tex.) agreed in an interview: I would like to see him place greater emphasis on the interests of these children who are refugees from extreme violence and instability in their home countries instead of an acceleration of the deportation process at the expense of these children.
But ORourke added that he has been surprised by the anger he has heard toward the refugees from many of his El Paso constituents, who feel like we cant take care of everyone, and these children and their families are gaming the system.

Wait until the Hispanics kids come home with TB or Scabies... See how that goes over... I grew up with Hispanics, family and children are their entire lives for most of them... That is their primary motivation.
.... That is why the "Liberal/Socialist" movement is so strong. The Socialist/Communist movement closely mimics what is a natural proclivity in most such as "Caring for the needy and the unfortunate." This is how they are able to sway people and nations. The mimicry even feigns Christianity in many ways especially in the helping the needy part. Taking but a portion of a wealthy persons riches and giving it to the poor and needy. After all it's only fair right?
.... Well the way I look at it ... it's kind of like the difference between giving a donation from the heart to help out a charity .... and that same charity coming to your house and demanding at gunpoint money to pay for their expenses. Both of those scenarios achieve the same end ..... the charity receives money for their cause .... but one is given by freedom and charity .... the other by force.
..... So ... to me ... taking advantage of the final throes of charity left in a country being transformed by a person seeking to install a system that takes by force rather than a free nation that gives by the values of giving from the heart .... is an act that is spawned by "The One" that is the "Master of Deception ... and the "Father of "Lies" .... to achieve something that many of us cannot even imagine. It's literally the difference between the wonderful act of "Making Love" and the act of "Being Raped." It's the same ends .... but one is pure evil.
.... I think it is important for EVERYBODY to understand .... that there are two ways of living in this world ..... ONE is the way of "Giving" .... and the other is the way of "Taking."
.... This nation has lost it's way and has gotten away from it's foundational principles. Unfortunately I believe that this nation is about to wander for a long time until it regains it's foothold on freedom once again.
This "federal cash" is our taxpayer money. We are paying for our own invasion!!!
GRRRR!!!!!
We are no longer the same nation demographically thanks to mass immigration and the 1965 Immigration Act. By 2019 half of the children 18 and under will be minorities as classified by the USG and by 2043 we will be a majority minority nation. Demography is destiny. We are being colonized by the Third World.
All of this leftist smoke and mirrors can’t build anything but a sick mediocrity.
Ultimately, theology is destiny.
A whole lot of the Hispanic influx is nominally Catholic Christian, but only nominally.
It’s frustrating to me, from what I believe to be a “generic Christian” view point, to see it. People are not asking too much out of God. People are asking too LITTLE. And then they build their own unfriendly empires and it just goes all to hell.
The Rat and GOPe elites don’t have to live in these new barrio slums, created when 4 families live in single family homes, etc.
They led the big march, right next to the AMNESTY banner.
Yes, it is very rare to see a liberal actually “sharing the wealth.” Unless it’s somebody else’s wealth. Their own? God forfend!
This is a scene of people centered pride and it is enmity to God. The devil is giggling his fool “red tights” off at this.
People could get along a lot better with one another if they cared about the Lord first of all. There isn’t even a HINT of theology I see here. It’s basically a repackaged Marxism.
If theology is destiny, then stick a fork in us, we are already done.
If we don’t choose a different relationship with God, it is our fault not God’s fault.
I am not blaming God. I am just observing reality and the decline of America morally, economically, and militarily. There is no coming back.
The way back would be a way of frank miracle.
To declare God incapable of extending the help would be to blaspheme Him.
“Expats are not a valid source to measure a decline in a society.”
They would still know if there where problems outside their exclusive communities -from newspapers, servants, neighbors, TV, the internet.
If the country was so detrimental to live in that parents would rather send their children on an unaccompanied, thousand mile trip through treacherous territory than have them stay with their family, surely at minimum talk of the problems would be going around.
Jewish parents in Czechoslovakia sent their children on trains to England after Hitler took over. The alternative was the gas chamber. But even these trips were organized by a kind soul in England, funded by the parents and English families, and the children went on a train that wouldn’t get lost.
IMO this invasion is just as orchestrated, but not for good reasons. The plan is to force amnesty and adhere to the Coward-Piven strategy to take down this country.
That was a great idea. I just figured if things were that bad in any of those countries, we’d have heard about it before the invasion -not after.
Yeah, right.
(forgot to include pertinent info about the Jewish Czechoslovakian children - they were going to English families so their parents knew they’d be taken care of. Most importantly, they went to England LEGALLY. The man orchestrating the move got visas for the children. Imagine that!)
