    Guatemala has universal health care. The left tells us is so much better than our system. Sending the child back to wonderful universal health care system in Guatemala will probably save the child's life.

    This is the truth and even just using Turbo Tax and no accountant, check out some startling math..my wife took off this year for health reasons, I as an indie contractor have not worked for 3 of the first 8 months this year helping her..I will make 60 to 70k and not pay a DIME of taxes. So I believe the fella I quoted.

    The only caveat to that super powerful and true statement is it's only half true. Yes the upper 20% pay 87% of fed taxes mhm but what it fails to mention is that the upper 2% pay nothing and that 2% has more wealth than the other 18% Disagree? Let's tap Amazon...google..

    When both myself and my wife are working full time we are in that 18% like many professionals screwed no matter what party is running shat

    The answer of course, is neither. The American right isn't doing anything more to take care of our own kids than we're doing to take care of the kids from foreign countries. Unless we're talking about thoughts and prayers. We have those in spades.

    Having the right to a legal medical procedure has nothing to do with whether one can afford a kid or not.

    Just because someone can afford a kid doesn't mean they have to have one !!


    What other reason is there for abortion??

    An unwanted pregnancy IS inconvenient.

    It is inconvenient for some to pay all the medical bills associated with pregnancy and childbirth.

    It is inconvenient to suffer pain and permanent damage to one's body due to pregnancy.

    It is inconvenient to die for a pregnancy.

    It is inconvenient to suffer financial, career, educational set backs and losses.

    It is inconvenient to pay for raising a kid.


    NO one is asking for your support...the choice is THEIR'S, no one else's ..

    Uh, duh, ya, see the kids who weren't aborted are alive and need aid......the aborted do NOT exist....:roll:





    I want BORN children to live since there aren't any other kind of children.

    It has nothing to do with abortion and women's right to their own bodies.





    I always have...

    Make up your mind. Do you want kids to live or die? Tell us. Be honest. And if you want kids to live, then which kids? Which kids come first, ours or theirs?

    Yup, and if they had access to safe, affordable abortions that number would be much lower.

    AND the conditions of those countries are more complicated than just "population".

    So let me get this straight. You're self employed in the U.S. and you show a $60k-$70k profit from a business on your Schedule C tax return and you don't pay a dime in taxes? Do you know what IRS form SE is?

    Deporting Children to Die

    It is blatantly clear and has been from the onset (not as extreme) that Trumps intent is to make illegal crossings into the U.S. as dangerous and unappealing as possible. Having your children killed is about as good as it gets in this regard.

    All of our laws have unappealing consequences if you break them. How else would they get enforced?

    No. Who you're referring to would be Obama, the DNC, ACLU and the liberals who hand out maps on how to get here, what to say when they get here, and even leave water stations for the illegals in the desert to help make sure they get here.

    We are not an economic sanctuary for all the worlds dependents. We can only take some.

    I would rather we take in children than adults. Since we can't break up families, we get more adults, thus more children must be turned away.

    Economics may not be a zero-sum game, but welfare certainly is.

    Here's how we can help more children:
    -allow non-citizen parents to transfer custody/guardianship to US citizens
    -allow non-citizen parents to transfer custody/guardianship to the US govt

    Allowing residency to all non-citizen parents is not a sustainable option.

    Why is it that every time you quote me, you find it necessary to put your words in my mouth. It is quite annoying and your words taste foul.

    Yes, this is a terrible price to have to pay . But the migration at this magnitude needs to stop. It is just overwhelming the native population that is trying to keep itself afloat and the native population...what about the native population? It is a terrible mess .

    I have no critique of the laws or in any way like or champion illegal aliens...I do not agree with deporting children to die however.
