they must 'rediscover the concept of negotiation and compromise' to approve his $3.7 BILLION funding request
President Barack Obama coolly taunted congressional Republicans on Wednesday for dithering on his demand for billions to handle a flood of illegal immigration children streaming across the U.S.-Mexico border.
At the same time he flatly denied that his own policy decisions have led to the rapidly expanding human tragedy.
Calling the deluge a 'humanitarian situation on the border,' not an emergency or crisis, he parried claims that a 2012 executive order delaying the deportation of hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants .... incentivized children in Central America to make dangerous journeys to and across the Rio Grande river.
'I think the challenge we have that has really caused a spike,' Obama said in Dallas, 'is the significant security challenges in the Central American countries themselves, and smugglers who increasingly recognize that they can make money transporting individuals ....across the border.'
Those conditions haven't significantly evolved since he took office in 2009, many Republicans point out. But a series of reports from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador indicate that his policy, called Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), was widely misinterpreted to mean that today's under-18 set could enter the U.S. and stay indefinitely....

Ah yes. His soul isn’t the only thing about him that is compromised. Good point.
We have any C17’s in passenger configuration lying around. We have runways at Lackland. Stop in Mexico, Honduras and Guatemala.
Get everyone’s names. Schedule their flights. Tell the governments when they will be landing and to have the parents at the airport. Round the clock flights until everyone is sent back.
Time to complete project with 5 planes? Less then a week. Cost? Maybe 20 million and most of that is in fuel and on board snacks.
And speaking of deluge...
This 6 minute video may help. With assists from “academia”, liberal Jews and a few others, the 47% no/low info voters hooked on “free chit” put a MAD MAN in the Spite House! And if you thought the last 6 years were insane, wait until next year!

Anyone who still listens to Obama is just a gluten for punishment. Ignore everything he says and every fake law he passes. He stole the reelection and everyone knows it now. And we want the MSM upset at us. They represent the enemies of freedom.
Yep — it isn’t that hard to fix this problem.
Call it: Operation Reunite Families
I guess you forgot the /sarc tag?
If not, then it is one of the most insulting and disgusting posts in a long time on FR.
Only one human being on Planet Earth is responsible for this Invasion by enemy third worlders -- the evil Marxist obama.
A RATs answer to all the problems they’ve created . . . “Give us more money”.
For crying out loud! I am on FR. I didn’t think I needed a /s tag. I guess I didn’t realize a fellow FReeper wouldn’t understand. So here’s your needed tag: /S
