GOP, show you care about kids at border
CNN ^ | July 18, 2014 | By Maria Cardona

Posted on 07/18/2014 4:28:34 PM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

Madness has gripped our border. I am not talking about the migrant children fleeing from crime and violence in their home countries in Central America and looking for the opportunity to live a better life. I am talking about the misguided protesters—and the right-wing public officials that egg them on, railing against anything they think even might be an immigrant.

Republicans need to get hold of themselves, understand facts and keep their anti-immigrant extremist voices in check. If they don't do it for the country's future, they should at least do it for their own political survival. Republicans cannot afford to further alienate the county's largest minority. If the GOP does not reverse its lack of Latino support, it can say good-bye to its chances of getting to the Casa Blanca.

So, how about dropping the political posturing and perhaps redeeming the party in the face of a crisis that could not be more personal to Latinos? This may be too much to ask.

Why should the GOP “show they care about the kids at the border”?

I mean, they can if they want, but it means absolutely, positively zero to me.

...the migrant children fleeing from crime and violence in their home countries..

They're dumber than sh*t if they came here to "flee from crime and violence". Don't they ever listen to their new DemocRAT massas? America is the most criminal and violent country in the universe. Mass killings are a dime a dozen here. Entire schools have been wiped out! It happens every day! Send them to Switzerland where everyone is armed if they want to escape crime and violence.

Democrats are taking time off from their constant whining about heartless conservatives who want to break up Hispanic families by deporting illegals.

They are using the time to whine about heartless conservatives who want to reunite Hispanic families by sending Obama’s illegal kids back home to their families.

It is apparent that the only time a democrat is happy is when they’re unhappy.

Republicans have no lack of support for latinos - legal ones.

As far as ‘extremists,’ go have a talk with the hired disruptors of the Occupy, LaRaza, Brown Beret, Mencha, Students for Anarchy and assorted other loonie toon groups that show up trying to provoke confrontation.

I just love it when Marxofasists give the Republicans advice, for their own good, of course! /s

HEADLINE: GOP, show you care about kids at border

I'm left wondering when they are going to show they care about ordinary Americans and our Constitution first...

Dear Democrat's and GOP-E Enablers,

It is time to show you care about American kids and America. There will soon be no turning back from the road where we are headed.

Sorry. The whole world festers with violence and crime. We don’t have the money or resources to take care of their kids. We are not responsible for taking care of the kids. Our own children are facing enough difficulties.
Chip them. Send them home. Never let them return.

by sending them home

and they aren’t at the border anymore

most of them have been released into the US

and 80% of the invaders were not kids and get no coverage

The simple fact is the nation is being invaded. Our military should be on the border, preventing the invaders from entering the country. National defense is the reason we maintain a standing army.

Any nation that allows millions of people to invade its territory from other nations without consequences is either militarily impotent or consciously committing suicide.

We should get these kids and their families back to their homes in Central America, South America, Iran, and Pakistan where they’ll feel the love of home, NOT the cold, cruel, evil United States of America.

You are SO right, Maria!

Remember the Reagan Amnesty in 1987?

That worked out GREAT for G.H.W. Bush in 1988!

Hispanic vote in 1988:

Dukakis: 70%
Bush: 30%

Re: “Republicans have no lack of support for latinos - legal ones.”

True.

Unfortunately, non-Cuban legal Latinos have NEVER supported us.

2004 was our best year ever.

2004 Hispanic Vote:

John Kerry: 60%
George W. Bush: 40%

The madness is in the newsrooms of America. In the schools of America. And in the major cities in America.

I care more about American kids. My advice to you, Maria, would be to STFU, you are democrat who wants us to lose, we don’t want or need your counsel on this or any other matter.
