We all knew that this was about turning amnesty into “for the children.”

What the hell is wrong with these fools?!

These children belong to someone. Maybe their parents have no clue they ran for the border. Maybe a human trafficker stole them and want them to work in a Gringo sweatshop. That’s all the Chamber of Commerce wants is cheap labor. Someone to replace Americans who require reasonable working conditions.

To Hell with America’s children. Let’s grant the future to Mexico’s children — not that any child is undeserving of potential on their native soil.

Eric Cantor on Border Crisis: Let’s Work with Obama to ...........


Eric, This is your wake up call. You cannot work with Obama. Obama doesn’t care if you work with him or not. He’s going to do as he pleases.

How are the kids themselves coming across the border? I'm sure these aren't "kids" in the traditional sense, as in toddlers in soiled diapers trekking across the desert. No, these are mid-late teenagers, who are being dropped off by coyotes or the Mexican cartels.

I had the privilege to attend the swearing in ceremony for people wanting to become U.S. citizens this week. It was quite the event.

While there I struck up a conversation with a woman from Vietnam. She was there with her dad who was going through the ceremony. She had already been through the legal steps to become a U.S. citizen.

I asked her about amnesty. I thought she was going to hit the roof. She was clear that she had done it the right way, her dad was doing it the right way and that everyone else should do it the right way. She had a very low opinion of amnesty.

Obama worked so well with CAN'Tor he wouldn't even let him refer to the law during the televised debates over obamacare.

We have an immigrations systems, based on the rule of law, that has worked well for our country since it was implemented.

Ignoring it has created all sorts of chaos, socially and economically.

I have a suggestion. How about we apply the laws as they currently exist? Yes, it will be hard. But in the end, it’s the right thing to do.

We got into this mess by ignoring our immigration laws. Ignoring them more will only make matters worse.

Charge the parents with child abuse for forcing their kids to break the law. Put people like Cantor on the spot, and make the libs defend child abuse. I can’t make my kids steal so they will have better lives. If I grow pot in the basement so my daughter can afford to go to Yale, the government will still take my kid away when I’m caught (and all my money and house). Make illegals live in the same legal system as me.

right back to amnesty

and how do we give kids “amnesty” without giving it to their parents?

The parent should be arrested for child abandonment

I heard they were coming over in buses, and the BP is not allowed to stop them.

Thank you for referencing that article cotton1706. Please bear in mind that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

Politically correct, vote-winning interpretations of the Constitution's uniform Rule of Naturalization aside, Clause 4 of Section 8 of Article I, the states have never delegated to the feds, via the Constituiton, the specific power to regulate immigration. This is evidenced by the following excerpt from Thomas Jefferson's writings where he clarifies this issue in terms of the 10th Amendment nonotheless.

“4. _Resolved_, That alien friends are under the jurisdiction and protection of the laws of the State wherein they are: that no power over them has been delegated to the United States, nor prohibited to the individual States, distinct from their power over citizens. And it being true as a general principle, and one of the amendments to the Constitution having also declared, that “the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people,” the act of the Congress of the United States, passed on the — day of July, 1798, intituled “An Act concerning aliens,” which assumes powers over alien friends, not delegated by the Constitution, is not law, but is altogether void, and of no force [emphasis added].” —Thomas Jefferson, Draft of the Kentucky Resolutions - October 1798.

So what Rep. Cantor needs to do concerning his misguided ideas about federal immigration is the following. He first needs to rally Congress to propose an immigration amendment to the Constitution to the states for ratification. And if the states should choose to ratify Cantor's amendment then Congress will have the specific power that it needs to regulate, tax and spend for immigration purposes and Cantor will be a hero.
