Hang it up, George, before you embarrass yourself further.

In an appearance on Fox News Sunday, conservative columnist George Will had some harsh words for those who insist that the waves of migrant children crossing the border from non-contiguous nations in search of asylum.
“We ought to say to these children, ‘Welcome to American, you’re going to go to school and get a job and become Americans,’” Will insisted.
He seemed to suggest that those who advocate for the deportation of South and Central American minors underestimate America’s power to assimilate foreign-born populations.
“We have 3,141 counties in this country. That would be 20 per county,” he added. The idea that we can’t assimilate these eight-year-old criminals with their teddy bears is preposterous.”
Fox host Chris Wallace sounded a note of skepticism when he interrupted Will to add that he could sense viewers already sending in angry emails contesting the syndicated columnist’s iconoclastic take on the border crisis. Will countered that the waves of immigrants America took in and assimilated in the 19th Century vastly outnumbered the present influx.
He said that the greatest counter to illegal immigration ever passed by the United States was NAFTA, “which it put the Mexican economy on the road to prosperity.” Will advocated for a similar free trade agreement with Central American countries and a plan to reduce America’s illegal drug consumption in order to arrest the flow of immigrants from unstable countries like Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala.

That is just so far this year. They expect hundreds of thousands more. And they are not all 8 year olds. Many are over 18 claiming to be underage to prevent immediate deportation, as if Obama is deporting any.
Hang it up, George, before you embarrass yourself further.
Well, of course, Georgie boy is just too sophisticated to have a belief in God. That’s just for us bitter clingers.
He’s probably just mad at God because he never got picked to play baseball with the real boys at the playground.
Mommy probably never let him get dirty either.
I’ll add one to the list:
Prior to deportation: biometrics and/or ‘tagging’ (tattoo, chipped, etc.)
2nd+ offense: reciprocity of their home country
