Not one GOP presidential candidate has had the courage to suggest this.
Instead, the now "centrist" Hillary Clinton has advanced the idea.
Democrats and Hispanic organizations will swarm onto this position.
This will completely change the "debate" on immigration and Amnesty.
The Democrats will now be the "reasonable" Party.
All because of Republican political cowardice and collusion with businesses that want cheap foreign labor.
She must have seen some polling results...
Wow, now this is an interesting turn of events.
Actually, Sarah Palin said to send them home also.
I believe she said something to the effect that our first concern should be the jet fuel to send them home.
Governor Palin did in a Facebook post.
Disagree. I think it’s actually a good thing for the GOP that Hillary is saying this *first*. Whenever someone in the GOP makes a commensense pronouncement like this, we get flamed as hard-hearted, evil, etc. But now that Hillary has broken ground here, every GOP candidate can say it too. (And of course it should not only be said early and often, but acted upon!! Immediately!!!!)
We’ll see if this becomes a sustained position by HRC, or just a one off reply in an interview.
Smart move. Too bad bonehead & cantor are still clueless.
The right won’t vote for her and now the left will despise her.
Hillary Clinton studied the Eric Cantor defeat.
She sees what every other Democrat, and many Republicans, refuse to see, or refuse to admit.
Americans are angry about Immigration, both legal and illegal.
The ONLY thing she will propose is to send back the kids.
She will win huge admiration for this from Independent voters and center-left Republicans.
She will “stand firm” against bogus criticism delivered by various factions in the Democrat Party.
All the while, she and every other Democrat will continue to push Amnesty for the illegals already here.
All the while, our current immigration policy of creating 600,000 new Democrat voting citizens each year will continue, untouched.
This move is completely brilliant.
Bill Clinton had to deal with the issue through his whole career.

He was also hurt by President Jimmy Carter’s decision to sending thousands of Cuban refugees, some unruly, to a detention camp at Fort Chaffee, outside Fort Smith in Sebastian County in western Arkansas. (See Mariel boatlift.)

Didn’t Haitian “boat people” surge of early 90s end only when Bush started sending them back—a policy Clinton continued?

What’ll happen when border detainees (most of whom are 15-17-y-o boys) riot at Army base? Clinton lost ‘80 election b/c of Marielito riot
wow... Hillary is for SURE running!
Let the cracks in “The Party” widen.
As Hillary seeks to put some distance between herself and some of the exceptionally indefensible actions of this administration, she risks aggravating Obama loyalists.
The bad feelings of the last primary when Obama and Hillary were enemies could well be reignited when it comes down to every pantsuit or pantywaist for themselves.
If polls start to dive more sharply, or serious indictments begin to be handed out (as well they should be), the rats will flee the sinking ship and step all over each other to save themselves.
Then we can pop popcorn, and enjoy the show.
It’s one thing to say it; it’s another thing to do it. Democrats are People of the Lie. BO said what people wanted to hear then did the opposite. Transparency, bipartisanship, shovel-ready, keep your health plan/doctor...
I think the libs should adopt the kids. That would be amnesty in spades. Everyone would feel so good...
Certainly answers the question.
She’s running.
This is no different than what McCain said in his ads during his last re-election to the senate, “Build the dang fence”.
Once elected, I wonder if she’ll be more of a “triangulator” like Hubby, or just a naked extreme ideological leftist who doesn’t care like Obama? I’m sure she’ll be leftist either way and would far prefer no Democrat in the WH.
Forked tongue syndrome.
Send ‘em back if their it can be determined who/where their parents are. It’s in no way a commitment and the ‘rats know very well it’s just politicking.
She lies like Barry. Don’t believe a word she says.
It’s more likely she prefers to sell them into slavery to Indonesian sweat shops.
