Why the U.S. immigration system is so broken

Every day more children come. They cross the Rio Grande on rafts. Some have Hello Kitty backpacks. Some come with their mothers, but many are on their own. They come from Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador. Many are teenagers, but some are no more than toddlers. Some disappear before they ever make it to the United States.

Good article on the crisis of illegal immigration in America. Author thinks we are past the point of no return.

Do they ever state how many of these “kids” are traveling with kids of their own? We now know a lot of these “kids” are 15,16,17 years old.

It is not broken so much as ignored......

[FlingWingFlyer]

What I find really goofy is that the worthless buffoons up on Capitol Hill want to pass MORE immigrations laws that they don’t intend to ever be enforced.

Returns cannot be by our own self effort.

When we are finally driven to our knees and cry “OH OUR GOD!”

That’s when heaven will open up and say

“Yes, you knocked? Long time no hear!”

[HiTech RedNeck]

Yes, some of them come with parents.

Some also come with gangs.

Not pretty.

[Fungi]

Don’t need to read this, won’t read this. I already know. The reason is the fool on the hill.

A stranger comes up to you and gives you a swift kick in the butt.
You thank him and give him $5.00.
What happens next?
That’s right. Another stranger ...
Obama’s America, 2014: Shame, frustration and loathing of our federal government.

[HiTech RedNeck]

And he never gives an answer, you know he’s just a fool.

Author thinks we are past the point of no return.

So do I. Far too many anchor babies and chain migration for far too many years and continuing.

[princeofdarkness]

Yep. However, the GOP “leaders” acting as enablers for this fool doesn’t help matters as well.

Margaret Wendt has always been an odd duck in the G&M newspaper.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Belling the cat is a wonderful idea.

Who’s going to do it?

[princeofdarkness]

Even with the steep decline in Hispanic birth rates, this invasion will still lead to a demographic disaster.

[HiTech RedNeck]

those who fall into the abort mentality will suffer demographically

[zerosix]

Uh hm, yeah. I'm supposed to believe toddlers walked all the way through Mexico from Honduras or Guatamala?

If I believed THAT, I suppose I'd also believe that Lois Lerner's email server crashed so she decided to "recycle her hard drive" (first time any IT person ever heard of that way being used to cure an email server crash); oh and, yes six other related IRS personnel's email servers crashed at the exact same time, presumably also chose to "cure" their hard drives by the good old recycle trick!

Precisely! I was going to say not enforced. Everything that's ben happening is totally against existing law.

[HiTech RedNeck]

I doubt any toddler came unless it was carried.

[HiTech RedNeck]

We endure Calvinball because that’s how Barack cleverly holds back on that draconian Obamacare, and instead of saying what the sam hill is going on here and storming Washington we go la di dah and sit on our duffs.
