Border children deserve humane treatment, due process
San Jose Mercury ^ | 07/11/2014

They're children. Tens of thousands of them, boys and girls, some just toddlers, many under 12 years old, who somehow made it here from the violent, gang-filled, homicide-ridden countries of Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador.

San Jose U.S. Rep. Zoe Lofgren saw a 3-year-old girl last week at a Rio Grande Valley holding facility, essentially a jail, running around in only a diaper. Imagine how desperate her parents must have been to send her north


Zoe are you dumb enough to believe that a 3 year old walked to the USA from Central America alone? Her parents came with her. They are in the holding cell with her. The media is prevented from access to these holding facilities and documenting how many adults are being held also.

I'm thinking that the writer took a wrong turn at El Paso and ended up in Chicago.

And what do Americans deserve? Why isn’t it Mexico’s problem to provide these children with everything they need?

Humane treatment is a Mickey Dee’s happy meal a shot of antibiotics and a plane ticket straight back to where they came from.

the mothers of southside Chicago probably welcome their kids getting an airplane rider to safety in Honduras

That must have taken every fiber of this “writers” being to pretend to have concern for a child. Growing the nanny state takes a lot of acting ability.

“Due process”

Who uses that kind of language? Lawyers. Maybe we’re starting to see that the man behind the curtain on this issue is a lawyer.

Humane treatment...yes, of course, we’re Americans, it’s what we do.
Due process?...the only one how deserves due process is POTUS in impeachment proceedings for violating the Take Care Clause of the US Constitution.

The Left also says: "The Palestinians are so desperate that they become suicide bombers."

This is part their Sympathy for the Devil vocabulary.

Border jumping children don’t deserve squat in my view. They need to be sent back and any expenses incurred for them need to be withheld from any foreign aid we give their countries, which we should stop anyways.

“violent, gang-filled, homicide-ridden”

To paraphrase Charles Krauthammer, when hasn’t Central American been violent, poverty stricken etc. ??

We have more than enough laws on the books to enforce the border, but the one percenters don’t want that.

Illegal (children) isn’t a race, it’s a crime.

The plan was to “send in the children” so just like not being able to critisize any black person especially the community organizer and cheif because of thier color and bieng labled a racist, who would turn away the “children” This was deliberately planned to overwhelm the system, dirty the waters in all of the cities more than they are now, increase the voter rolls for the rats, allow drug gangs to do business more freely poisoning our youth and open the door for terroist attacks on American civilains

We should start calling them “Obama’s manufactured border-crisis children” every time we mention them, the same way Randy Weaver’s name was always preceded with the phrase “white-separatist.”

"Border children deserve humane treatment, due process"

Yes, I agree completely.....as long as "due process" means an immediate trip to the border and expulsion from this country because they have entered this country illegally.

Before these little itty bitty loving children get sent out to this monsterous country, why not include a two day Disneyland ticket....every kid deserves to visit Disneyland!
