Honduras will ask the United States not to send any more children stopped at the border back to Honduras, the Honduran Foreign Ministry said.

Honduran Chancellor Mireya Agüero Corrales instructed the Honduran Embassy in Washington to work on the proposal, the ministry said.

Corrales said she'll urge the United States to make efforts to unite the children with families in the United States.

"If we are talking of the principle of family reunification, why not reunite them in the United States?" she said, according to a news release from the Foreign Ministry.

Obama, “sure no problem” ,”my tax payers in my Kingdom have very deep pockets’

[Eagles6]

All part of the game.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Why not re-unite the in Honduras? /S

With no country other than the US would this question even be asked.

[Defiant]

Sure, no problem. We’ll just start selling them to the middle east.

Kids?!?

Not in that photo.

[PubliusMM]

Don’t deport them? What? Are the Hondurans coming to pick them up? And, then, they will also stay?

No thanks.

Deport them. Secure the border.

[shelterguy]

Overwhelm the system as planned.

[grobdriver]

why not reunite them in the United States

Because Honduras is not part of the United States, last time I checked.

Oh - wait a minute.

Original United States = 50, plus
Mexico,
Honduras,
Guatemala,
Nicaragua,
Costa Rica,
Panama,
Columbia...

Ah... so that's what he meant!

Hussein is the king of all 57 states. Honduras must be one of them.

They gotta be close to voting age.

Michelle may have found people who will actually eat her school lunches. Feed it to them and they will soon want to go home.

[skeeter]

What kind of government dumps its poor like this?

And if we say no they'll be wailing about our lack of compassion.

[Jack Hammer]

Hey, don’t send them back here, okay?

You rich Americans should just take ‘em all in, give each one a house and a car, and a job requiring no education and paying at least $25 an hour, huh?

We all grow up hearing about the Barbarian Invasions and the Roman Empire. I believe that is widely perceived as a military invasion of some sort, involving battles. Sure, there was some of that. But to a large extent, the Barbarian Invasions were just a matter of non-Romans moving across the border and not adopting Roman ways. Native customs, Native laws, less Imperial control, less Imperial taxation. The Roman Empire got weaker and weaker, because the newcomers didn't care about it.

The situation we face is the same. This is a barbarian invasion. It is the equivalent of a foreign invasion of our soil.

I know exactly what we should do when faced with an invading army.

[dforest]

We do not want them or their parents here. They have broken our laws.

[Principled]

"If we are talking of the principle of family reunification, why not reunite them in the United States?"

"If we are talking of the principle of family reunification, why not reunite them in the Honduras?"

Why not tell Honduran parents to refrain from abandoning their children to break into the US?

[justa-hairyape]

Got a better idea, how about you start being a good neighbor and stop stealing from the US. Oh, and you might want to tell your stupid citizens that each American citizenship card comes with $150,000 in debt.
