It's shameful an inexcusable that branding the dead child as "illegal", and enforcing the prejudice of presumed guilt is still the top priority of this thread.
Wizard it is actually illegal for people to cross our borders without authorization, doing so is a criminal act. - - - Updated - - - It is shameful that you would use false anger as a political tool to win some kind of argument in your mind
No it is not for children. You want bleat about the law. Have a go at knowing what the law is to begin with Start here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_...ms_of_Trafficking_and_Violence_Protection_Act
This is not about children, that is a smokescreen. This is about 330,000 illegals entering since April, the 55,000 children are a distraction. The focus should be on turning all border hopping criminals back, it would be far cheaper to deport them than to support them for the rest of their lives
...but who says "America Works Best When We Say "Union Yes" in his signature. I've observed other things you say. Your posts smell funny, Hoppy. You amuse me. Carry on
Thanks for showing how blind partisanship makes people. You are so upset that the word "illegal" was used that you completely ignore that someone was found dead. Way to go, bravo!(golf clap).
I didn't mean it from the OP standpoint, but from the issue as defined by the media. All of the focus is on branding this as a children's welfare issue. It serves as a distraction to explain the complete border collapse and lack of enforcement that is occurring.
Well feel free to start a thread about the problem, there is already a mountain of them chose from. Not sure why you need to derail this one
Derailing what exactly? This thread is a non starter if not talking about the border crisis. If the thread really is about one poor kid who died then I will bow out respectfully, and apologize for the diversion I have created.
Our immigration laws do not discriminant based on age. All your wiki link discusses are kids in the sex trade or brought here to be slaves can be allowed to apply for a T-1 Visa. It has nothing to do with children in like the OP. You might try heeding your own words.
Yes, he claims the border is more secure than ever. I think he lives in La-La Land somewhere. But then he also claimed he had decimated al Qaeda. The man lies and is incompetent...
You have no right to kill anyone who isn't threatening you with deadly force regardless of whether or not they are crossing the border illegally or not. It's called common decency that any civilized nation would practice. - - - Updated - - - Another one of your famous non-answers. Get you nose checked.
Yes it is illegal. You seem to think that children are allowed to legally enter the US based on the fact they are children. Not true. How do I know this? A few years back my niece ,who was 5 at the time, applied for a visitors visa to come and visit my wife and I. She was DENIED because they claimed she might stay here illegally. I guess if I had promised to get her a job picking fruit they would have let her in. You are confusing the anti trafficking laws with immigration laws. So you are wrong.
You are correct and it is illegal for children to enter illegally as it is an adult. What is being confused here is our immigration laws and anti trafficking laws. If 60,000 children that seemed to arrive at once are all being sent here for slave labor and sexual exploitation then our government has failed big time. Even more reason to secure the border.
How would you suggest we secure the border more than it is currently? The border is more secure now than anytime in my life time. To get the border more secure than it is currently would take money. Trying to get congress to approve spending on this is next to impossible these days.
Unfortunately, ranchers there find only bleached bones on their properties and bury them. Very sad. Wildlife takes its toll on dead bodies.
Little one, I answer everyone at all times. Kindly post an example to which I didn't, and I shall respond to it summarily. And as far as my nose checked... please explain.
