“How we treated Cuban waif Elian Gonzalez, who had survived a perilous raft journey that killed his mother to flee the communist tyranny of Fidel Castro’s Cuba, speaks volumes about the hypocrisy of Democrats and Holder, who applauded and engineered the forcible return of Elian at gunpoint to Cuba.”
Sending those illegal immigrant kids back to Central America without a hearing would be against our very own law. That law specifies that minors cannot be repatriated to their Central American home countries without a hearing.
Given that they already crossed the border, yes. I am aghast at those who say gun them down in New Mexico etc.
But that still doesn’t mean we should turn the border into a doormat. If the coyotes are coming, turn them around while still in Mexico.
Big deal. Elian was legal and you all still sent him back.
“Sending those illegal immigrant kids back to Central America without a hearing would be against our very own law. That law specifies that minors cannot be repatriated to their Central American home countries without a hearing.”
Not necessarily.
The law you refer to is meant for minors who are being trafficked.
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.
