"He has said repeatedly that they should be sent home ASAP — but that we need to care for them while they’re here. He hasn’t said that they should stay, though he has said he understands why they come — as I do."

You're attempting to change the subject. Beck claimed that people with contagious diseases should be allowed into the country. That was the subject of the post you're responding to.

For the record, here is the link to the article (which was posted here days ago):

"We Must Open Our Hearts"

From the article:

"Some illegal immigrants have been found to have contagious diseases and dangerous gang affiliations, but Beck also emphasized that the United States should be accessible to "all those fleeing poverty and violence."

This is insanity. But that's okay. Beck, the fool, gets to satisfy his maudlin desire to wallow in cheap emotion.

"He noted that part of the problem in Honduras, BTW, is a coup that Obama supported. Where else are you going to hear that?"

Are you serious? Probably from Levin, Limbaugh, or any number of conservative news sites.

Unlike whoever wrote this article, I actually listen.

He has repeatedly said that these people should be sent home ASAP — but that they need to be cared for while they’re here. He hasn’t said they should stay, though he has said that he understands why they come — as I do.

That’s not the same as saying people with infectious diseases should be allowed into the country. But they’re coming, due to policy choices we’ve made. What would you do? Let them die?

That is not “changing the subject” at all.

And yes, he said the United States should be more accessible to those fleeing poverty and violence. Those are our ideals, our principles. He said we should change the visa system so that those skilled people who want to come and contribute to our society can do so more easily. The fact is that the current system is complex enough to be an incentive to come illegally. After we fix the border, let’s fix that.

But again, that does not equate to inviting people with infectious diseases to come in. He’s inviting those who want to be part of the American dream to find a path to join us — legally. The claim that is being made about Beck is false, and the people making it mostly know it’s false.
