My money is on Ateo. Time for the popcorn!
And Dennis, if you are correct, well the popcorn will still be good.

I find it really sad and very hypocritical that the Republicans, who most claim to be Christians, would send innocent children back into harm's way.
I'm sorry but Christianity along with many other religions of helping those in need, go hand in hand or should! Where is the Christian humanity here!
Open up your churches and let these children in. Feed them, clothe them, and find homes for them right here in the good ol USA!
Maybe they should be asking themselves, "what would Jesus do"!
These are not illegal immigrants, they are refugees, let's get that right and maybe the conversation will change!
I think the Gov. of Maryland, Martin O'Malley, has a good point, "it is contrary to everything we stand for to summarily send children back to death".
These are children for crying out loud, and yet now they are pawns in a Political game, it's so heartbreaking!

I do not think it is a religious problem but a problem with politicians that have lost all sense of morality and integrity. Promoting fear and
self-interest is the new way to get elected it seems.

Don't these children belong with their parents??? Democrats forced Elian Gonzalez out of family members arms to send him to Cuba where his father was
despite his mother dying to bring him to America.

If you as individuals want to take care of the children send funds through a church or some other institution to take care of them in their home
country. Not keep them in the US.

So how many are you signing up to take? It's an unfortunate fact of life that the USA cannot take care of all the poor in the world.

I agree that Politician have lost all sense of morality and integrity!
But it's very hypocritical to see some of these Politicians who claim to be Christians AND play to their Christian base when it is convenient for
them, and yet get on the news channels wanting to turn these kids away. Not a very Christian OR compassionate thing to do IMHO. They hide behind their
religion to sing to their choir. It's disgusting!
I'd much rather put my tax dollars into paying for food stamps/welfare for the families wanting to take these kids in than pay corporate welfare to
Walmart who makes billlons in profits.
where's the humanity for these kids?
Put these Politicians feet to the fire and let's see how Christian they really are!

I'll have to read the article again, but I thought it was about Mexico.
I'm easily confused.

I wish I could take them in, but I already help my son raise my 2 grandchildren. There are plenty of people willing to take these kids in!

Like there's no American kids that could use a bit of "taking in." Why are they so easy to be left out in the cold?

Absolutely there are PLENTY of American kids that could use taking in, Dennis. I know this first and as I work with heroin and meth addicted families.
And I too sure would like to know the answer to your question, why are they left out in the cold? I ask this myself all the time!

Wow talk about flavor of the month. Who was taking care of these kids before they reached the border?
Why are they left out in the cold? Because it's a tough world?
How many Christians here think the US should take care of ALL kids coming to our border? How many who answered yes are planning to adopt some of
these kids?
US Marines: providing enemies of America an opportunity to die for their country since 1775.
What I say before any important decision.
F*ck it.

Man oh

Well, we are of to a good start. We have already jumped to American politics and religion, we're still on the first page. This will be a good one.

Recall that these are not Mexican kids. They are from Central American countries and had an arduous journey. !00 miles or more.
I totally believe them to be refugees.
All the so-called Christian bull crap aside, it really appears that the US has become so much less welcoming than when the statue of liberty was
erected.
My money, what little is left, is because we have been gradually taken over by an oligarchy, who only looks for profits; not fairness.
These are friggin' children.

These are fragmented families which will require reassembly in short order. To try and pass off these kids as independent sojourners is the big lie.
They are the new "anchor babies."
The more people try to sell me the line of goods..... innocent children and all that crap, the stronger I repel from the disingenuous reasoning.
