Will Boehner Demand That Obama Uphold The Law & Enforce William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Act?

We know this is a planned invasion...

But Boehner (Boner) has beat the drum of 'Obama does not uphold or enforce the law." Hint hint: Obama really, truly doesn't...

But...

The William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act Of 2008 will either be "upheld" and "enforced" by Obama - or it won't.

Under it, certain children under this Act are placed under the care of the Dept of Health and Human Services, are given the least restrictive environment, are given an attorney and can plead their case before a judge to stay in the U.S.

And GWB signed this into law (Public Law 110-457) on December 23, 2008.

If the present GOP in the House and Senate says scuttle this law, it will be a hit against Karl Rove, GWB, and by extension Jeb Bush and many in the GOP establishment.

[Laissez-faire capitalist]

Those are found in details that we Americans aren’t generally privy to.

[Laissez-faire capitalist]

I believe that you may have discovered that Bohener perhaps uses the finger in the wind strategy.

Like a lawsuit that will go nowhere, but was meant to appease the base and take a little steam off?

[Laissez-faire capitalist]

As you said - “the vast majority.”

That I wouldn't know, as I don't know all of them personally - perhaps you do.

Secondly, once they are here, again what do we do if before a judge they say that they have been sexually abused, either by captors who used them as mules, or by people from where they fled from (parents, relatives, local authorities) - mostly from regions where thugs are trafficking drugs.

Call them liars? Send them back to where they were, so that they can be abused again?

I personally don't have all of the answers, while some here seem to think they do. I would love to see their pearly white throne on high.

[Laissez-faire capitalist]

So none of the kids have ever went through or experienced abuse, are fleeing from it at home, went through trials and ordeals that we cannot fathom as they were captured and exploited by human traffickers?

Not all of them were, that is logically obvious. But what do we do when they go before a judge and tell what they have experienced at home, or by their captor's who used them as mules, or in some other scenario?

Send them away?

Send the 5,000 away instead of feeding them and let them faint and perish in the wilderness? I don't think that Jesus would do that. But again, we cannot take all of the people of the world in that would like to come here, but we can help some, and thus quotas must be set so that we can help those we can. Would Jesus have said “I cannot save all of mankind, so why bother coming down to Earth and giving my life?” No. Like the man who strolled the beach tossing back starfish that washed ashore, he was told that he could save all of them, but he replied that he could save some, and that's what mattered.

[Laissez-faire capitalist]

I agree, Obama has his agenda, but if any of those 30,000 have suffered abuse at home, or suffered abuse when they were by themselves as they fled a drug infested village, or suffered abuse at the hands of their captors who used them as drug mules, how can we in good conscience send them away? Sure, we cannot help all of them, but just like Jesus we can save some, and set a quota on those we can help. We cannot take in the whole planet, but we mustn’t let that strawman stop us from helping many of those 30,000 who may have suffered abuse.

[Laissez-faire capitalist]

True, but tell that to any of the kids who suffered abuse at home before they fled, fled drug traffickers who used them as mules and abused them, etc.

Do I know of a super-solution? No. But I wouldn't pretend like some here that I do.

[Laissez-faire capitalist]

Maybe Karl Rove has the answer.

"Children" who have fled from dangerous environments or been abused might be properly considered eligible for refugee status.

However, classifying them as "victims of human trafficking" is almost always disengenuous on the part of the classifiers. "Victims of human trafficking" are by defintion slaves, not voluntary refugees.

If you want to provide refuge to anybody from everywhere in the world where conditions are horrible, feel free to push for a law to do so.

Just don't claim those fleeing such conditions are something they aren't.

[Half Vast Conspiracy]

I can give you a non-solution...bring every kid world wide that has suffered abuse to the US.

[Travis McGee]

You have to STOP THEM AT THE BORDER.

Once the precedent is established (it’s 99% established already) that anybody with a sob story who reaches American soil gets a lawyer, all bets are off.

We will see what the Italians are seeing, boats loaded with 100s at a time coming from Africa. Instant refugee status, then they disappear into Europe.

Do you think we should take in EVERY poor person who can create a sob story with the provided “key phrases” cheat sheet to guide them?

Can I send a dozen homeless folks to your house, where you will convert your garage to take care of them? They only want to use half of your refrigerator.

Okay by you? They all have VERY SAD stories. VERY SAD.

[Travis McGee]

This is how thousands of impoverished Africans from all over the continent are entering Italian waters day after day.

The Italians would not set the precedent of turning the boats back, but instead, take them to refugee centers, where they are released to disappear across Europe. Sound familiar?

If the USA can't stop rafts full of migrants from crossing the Rio Grande, and can't build a serious double border fence, what will cause us to be able to turn back refugee boats and ships?

We won't turn back ships full of kids, if we can't stop rafts.

Don't you understand that the "children's crusade" is the direct result of Pied Piper Obama announcing that children ("dreamers") would not be deported? The children are just the "human shield" sympathy mask on the front of the Trojan Horse invasion currently underway.

If you don't see that, let me private mail you about this great bargain I will let you in on involving very lucrative bridges in the NY area I'll sell you very cheap.

[AFreeBird]

No, but he’ll go on TeeVee and cry about it. And then blame the TEA Party. Or something.
