Border: Democrats and our attorney general once favored the forcible return of alien minors to their country of origin, but that was when the country was Castro's Cuba and the horrible condition they fled was communism.
Eric Holder made a very emotional plea the other day when he announced the Obama administration program "Justice AmeriCorps," intended to provide emergency legal representation to the tens of thousands of unaccompanied minors flooding across our open southern border from Central America.
"How we treat those in need, particularly young people who must appear in immigration proceedings, many of whom are fleeing violence, persecution, abuse or trafficking — goes to the core of who we are as a nation," the attorney general said, explaining a program to provide 100 lawyers and paralegals for minors brought here by drug cartels and other human traffickers.

I have been offering up this comparison for days now. Glad to see someone FINALLY exploring this .
About as readable as a “diff” file.
Despicable termite, the Kaiser of NYC is.
“The law you refer to is meant for minors who are being trafficked.”
I don’t know how Holder, Obama and the SCOTUS would define trafficking, but I suspect it will be very wide and inclusive.
Yes.
And the additional thing is thatbit is HHS that is supposed to determine if they unaccompanied child is being trafficked.
Did you really think we want those laws observed? said Dr. Ferris. We want them to be broken. You’d better get it straight that it’s not a bunch of boy scouts you’re up against... We’re after power and we mean it... There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What’s there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt. Now that’s the system, Mr. Reardon, that’s the game, and once you understand it, you’ll be
much easier to deal with. (’Atlas Shrugged’ 1957)
So one side is still following “laws?” How quaint!
Is it hypocritical for the government to want to let these kids coming across the border today to stay when they sent Elian back to Cuba?
Is it hypocritical for us to want to send them back when we wanted to let Elian stay?
I get confused on things like this.
