...I, too, care about children facing violence and poverty, and that’s why I support the Obama administration’s plan to expedite deportations.
Last weekend, 82 people were shot in Chicago, the president’s hometown — 16 died. But don’t feel bad if you didn’t know this. Recent media coverage of the child border crisis has dwarfed coverage of many of the very real problems Americans are already grappling with, particularly low-income Americans of color. The shootings that took place this week were concentrated on Chicago’s South Side, which consists predominantly of African Americans, including plenty of children.
Yet despite the fact that our government is struggling to fund initiatives that could protect children already in this country, the president is still being pressured to take responsibility for the futures of thousands of additional children. That isn’t fair to the president, and most of all, it isn’t fair to our children. I have long supported allowing Dreamers — children brought here illegally who have spent their entire lives here — a path to college and citizenship. But the fact is, if we are complicit in allowing thousands of additional children to follow them here and remain here, soon we will not be able to provide any resources for Dreamers or any other American children, and that would be irresponsible and un-American.

I have looked up these countries online and besides a quake I saw nothing in the recent news about civil wars and stuff.
White children in South Africa face 10,000 times the threat of violence. Any word on that?
I’m sure there are rough places but nothing new. I have friends who live in Honduras by choice. They say that its no worse than when they get to their place in Charleston SC.
As soon as Obama can get the compliant congress to appropriate the money he will charter a few cruise ships to bring them over too. If they promise to vote Democrat. Bet on it.
That’s because these countries are no different now than 10-20 years ago. I have been to Guatemala and El Salvador in the last 15 months and there was no “war”. They are classic third world countries.
This is all a ruse by the White Hut, aided by the UN and other parasites.
The bona fide fleers of violence cannot get no where near the border. They are not able to come within hundreds of miles of the border. what is now happening is a Trojan Horse to get millions of bona fide terrorists into the United states and turn them lose.
How many of them are MS-13 and looking to hook up with gang members already here?
If they are familiar with gang violence then send them to Chicago .... they will fit right in and won’t have to learn a new language or adapt to civilization.
