what sort of depraved “parent” would use their kids in this way
At least some of these teenagers must have parents, communities and religious connections in their homelands. Obama is using them as a Children's Crusade to complete the invasion of the US. That's sick. Our humanitarian effort should be to get them back to their families and communities.
Why aren't the 'pubs taking that approach? What are they going to do....set up a committee, have hearings for sound bites, and use it as a campaign issue?
Depravity.
Maybe they should all stay at Cantor’s house.
>> what sort of depraved “parent” would use their kids in this way
The kind that Jeb Bush says have better family values than Americans.
President Obama’s “backdoor amnesty” that was implemented by a June 15, 2012, HHS memorandum signed by Secretary Napolitano who used “prosecutorial discretion” for an entire class of illegal aliens, namely children brought to this country under the age of 16. The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals or “DACA” program gives amnesty by executive fiat and work authorizations to illegal aliens not above the age of 30 who claim they arrived in the country before the age of 16. An estimated 1.8 million are eligible for the program and approximately 500,000 have applied and been approved. The approval rate is an astonishing 99.5 percent.
Secretary Napolitano admitted that DHS “internally set it up so that the parents are not referred for immigration enforcement if the young person comes in for deferred action,” thereby further expanding the scope of the non-enforcement directive. The DACA program has also sparked movements throughout the country to provide DACA legalized aliens with in-state tuition and driver’s licenses in addition to other benefits accorded U.S. citizens and green card holders.
In a related piece of legislation, Congressman Jeff Denham (R-CA), supported by Eric Cantor, has proposed the ENLIST Act to allow illegal aliens who came to the U.S. under age 15 prior to December 31, 2011 to join the U.S. military and receive U.S. citizenship—this at a time when the U.S. military is downsizing, forcing tens of thousands of personnel from active duty.
On June 2, 2014, faced with 60,000 unaccompanied children trying to cross the border illegally, President Obama declared it an “urgent humanitarian situation” and named a federal coordinator to make sure the children are cared for — but offered no new ideas for how to keep them from trying to enter. Some of the unaccompanied children are as young as three years old. The surge of illegal immigrant minors rushing over the Rio Grande threatens to overwhelm the Texas Border Patrol, and new figures show the unexpected development will cost U.S. taxpayers more than $2 billion this year. More than 1,000 unaccompanied immigrant children are arriving in the U.S. each week, according to figures released by DHS, and some 60,000 are expected to arrive in the U.S. this year. That is up ten times just since 2011.
You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to understand that DACA and Eric Cantor’s promised version of it, “the Kids Act,” have precipitated this rush to the border in anticipation of a “Dreamer” amnesty. The same kind of surge happened in 1986 despite the fact that you had to be in the U.S. for five years to apply for amnesty. Imagine the tsunami of illegal aliens into this country if some form of the Senate “Gang of 8” bill passes.
The kind of parent who is told by some traitor government of ours that once the kid gets in the Us army, the parents can come for free sharing as dependents the BAH housing.
Notwithstanding of course that our soldiers cannot claim their own parents or sisters that way...
Savages they are!
