On Thursday’s “Outnumbered” on the Fox News Channel, panelists Tucker Carlson and Kirsten Powers had a heated exchange over the ongoing border crisis and whether or not it was this country’s so-called Christian duty to grant those unaccompanied minors entering the United States asylum.

Carlson questioned Powers’ suggestion as it being the Christian obligation of the country to accept these minors into the United States. He argued that it wasn’t “Christian” to shirk those cost onto the American people through the use of their tax dollars and called out church groups encouraging those fleeing Central American countries to seek government assistance.

Partial transcript as follows:

CARLSON: You are saying the United States have an obligation – anyone who is suffering around the world has a right to come here and be supported by you and me?

POWERS: Hey, have you ever been to the Statue of Liberty?

(CROSSTALK)

CARLSON: So, you are saying, in Congo for example where there has been a war for 20 years, every Congolese has a moral right to come here?(continued)

People of that ideological persuasion cannot separate charity from government imposed social benefits that forcefully extract payment from others, or from socialism. To them it’s all the same good ole Robin Hood.

“POWERS: Hey, have you ever been to the Statue of Liberty?”

Does Ms. Powers have any idea how many were returned from Ellis Island to their native country in Europe because they didn’t have proper documentation?

Does she know that those who DID have proper documentation were totally on their own once they got past Ellis Island? There were no ‘benefits’ whatsoever.

Those immigrants of yesteryear were willing to risk it all in exchange for the opportunity only of making it in the USA, no housing subsidies, no food stamps, no healthcare, no nothin’.

It all sounds good but it doesn’t fit the One world agenda to make the North American Continent a big happy melting pot.

"Christian duty" is to send the children back quickly. They pose a safety hazard. The USA has every right to restrict who gets admitted and who does not.

It is outrageous to have a group of people designated as being above the law. They will not enhance our quality of life, and they will not improve our gene pool. Instead, they will drain our resources and great chaos. The amnesty people are playing right into the hands of the terrorists.
