Title: Geraldo Rivera: Scare Tactics, Public Hysteria Only Deepen Immigration Crisis
President Obama is right to call the surge a humanitarian crisis, one he must bear part of the blame in creating by not understanding how his message of compassion toward earlier waves of immigrant children was being misconstrued in the civil anarchy of Central America. He should have spotted this trend a year ago and moved to counter the misinformation being spread by immigrant smugglers and local media that undocumented, unaccompanied minors would be welcome, if only they could make it across.
Still, these children cannot now be deported cavalierly back to those home countries they have risked life and limb to flee. All must be granted full, fair hearings to determine whether they deserve “refugee-status” and are therefore able to stay in this country for fear they will be victimized if deported back. Those refugee laws should be liberally applied in deference to our tradition of compassion toward the young and needy. The dysfunctional governments of their home countries must also be held accountable for the moral and financial burden the children are placing on the United States.
I merely make the point that the arrival at our doorstep of 57,500 children from October 2013 through June 2014, while alarming, is not an existential crisis for the United States. We could feed every poor child in Central America with the excess food we toss into our dumpsters. Sponsors are being found to care and supervise youngsters who’ve recently arrived.
Whatever happens with the kids, or those thousands who will surely follow, the Republic will survive.

There are seven billion sad stories in this world. I don’t have enough money to pay for every sad story a liberal hears. The liberals are going to have to toughen up.
I also see this as discriminatory by Rivera. He’s just a bigot.
You pay for it a hole.
I’m tired of this worthless overbearing gubmint making me pay for every damn thing

The photos of the gang bangers I have seen indicate people that are well fed. I don’t see starving people. If they have money for tatoos then they aren’t starving.
Obama spent a billion dollars to get elected, Geraldo. That money could have gone to a good cause instead, eh?
The reality is that Obama installed those Narco regimes in Central America. Those poor, desperate, fools are victims of mass deception, the same way Americans are.
The Mexican Drug Cartel has been enabled by our Federal government. Americans drug consumption has fueled a criminal enterprise so lucrative that every Wall Street bank is holding their doors open for them.
They have more to be mad at us, than we do of them. Those poor people are simply ignorant victims of the drug cartels our government is in collusion with.

The 2009 “coup d’état in Honduras was carried out with the acquiescence of the U.S. government at the time. In fact, the Millennium Challenge Corp., an independent U.S. foreign-aid agency chaired by the Secretary of State — Hillary Clinton at the time — continued to provide funding to the coup regime in the immediate aftermath of the putsch, even as the U.S. State Department indicated publicly that it had suspended assistance programs in Honduras.”

But then since he is such a illegal immigrant proponent, maybe he can do his crybaby Katrina thing and hold those diseased children from central america and get infected. Wonder how he would like that? Hey Jerry! Like scabies, lice, tuberculosis, and possibly Ebola? Bet you'd change your tune while bleeding out.
WE? You got a mouse in your pocket, Whore-aldo?
Sell your boat and feed them then, put your money where your mouth is.
Liberal assholes simply overjoyed in spending other people’s money under the guise of advocating for the poor. GTH you jaggoff Hairalodo!!!
Uhm, hey Jear:
Why don’t the parents of these children love them enough to feed them and fight, fight for a fairer system of governance in their little plot of land?
Children in Africa should sponsor us...
Yes, we could. But it would be at the expense of our children not being fed.
I watched that self loathing Jew wannabe this weekend on Geraldo Reports.
What a fatuous ass.
I have traveled extensively throughout Honduras on many trips and while they do indeed have poor children, none of them are dying of starvation........
Strangely enough, they looked healthy despite not having running water, glass windows, SUV's, and flat screen TV's.........
“Obama spent a billion dollars to get elected, “
Yea!and the bastard still had to use the I.R.S. to violate the Rights of Tea Party members and their organizations that organized to try throw his ass out of office.
I ain't buying it, Geraldo. If their parents felt their kids were in so much danger from the drug cartels, that they're crying for 'refugee status', why did they pay those same cartels to escort their children, UNACCOMPANIED, along the length of Mexico?
we do feed every child in central america. zept the corrupt politicians deposit all the money in their own bank accounts.
...and half an hour later, he’d still be hungry.
This is some numbskull telling you and I how to do ‘charity’.
What I called ‘generosity with everybody else’s money’.
I don’t tell him to ‘have an open door policy for his private home(s), cause he can definitely feed all the homeless in his city’, and I’ll thank him not to dictate to me how I do my charity.
