Gov’t program would fly in Central American children to join parents in US

Do you think tyranny happens overnight with a roar? Or do you think that it comes in quietly in order to gain enough power to actually enforce its tyranny?



We've had lots of amendments added to the Constitution. Obviously it can be done. People just have to be willing to work together and where necessary compromise.

- I'd love to see this happen, but I don't looking at the foreseeable future and the way the parties are currently behaving. You seriously think the United States is going towards tyranny? :roll:
 
I'm fine with letting children be reunited with their parents

It's all about bringing in more Welfare recipients/future Democrat voters at the expense of the taxpayers.
 
I love how people love liberty so much that they can't be bothered to read past the headline or investigate the actually happenings in their government.

Lynch mobs love to blame every one but their own actions.

[/QApplications for this program are initiated in the United States. Beginning in December 2014, a
parent lawfully present in the United States will be able to file Department of State form DS-
7699 requesting a refugee resettlement interview for unmarried children under 21 in El Salvador,
Guatemala, or Honduras. Under certain circumstances, if the second parent resides with the child
in the home country and is currently married to the lawfully present parent in the United States, the second parent may be added to the child’s petition and considered for refugee status.

It is a sad day when the most trusted new organization in the world has to rely on the Daily Caller for new reports.
 
1 American dollar = 14 Pesos.

$7.25 at 40hrs a week for 4 weeks = $986 after taxes when claiming 0 on W2 (which means the most taxes taken out at minimum wage possible). Which equals out to 13,804 Pesos. I'm pretty sure that a legal resident could pay for a train ticket after saving for a few months.

And no, I would not be surprised in the slightest. You see, I live paycheck to paycheck myself. I'm not rich or even middle class.

He wouldn't have to save for a few months. Public transportation is cheap.

Yoju can take a bus from one end of Mexico to the other for around $1500.00 pesos.

That is about $100 USD.
 
Which is why I added the part that you apparently missed....after saving for a few months.

And by the by, I don't live with my parents. I have responsibility of 2 children and a wife. All without the benefits of Mom and Dad helping me out. And as a parent I can tell you straight up that I for one would NEVER have left my children behind in a 3rd world country. I would have stayed with them no matter what until I could figure out a way to get us all back together. Or I would die trying.

That is the difference between the American mindset and the, well let's say Latino, mindset.

Men leave their families, and women too, leaving the kids with relatives, sometimes distant relatives not caring what happens to them.

It usually isn't a good outcome.
 
I wouldn't leave my children behind either, but you're making generalizations of these people's circumstances and lives.

What circumstance would have to occur for you to abandon your children? That is what these people did.
 
. The people of Central America seem to be more predisposed to Socialist concepts.

I think Obama may have a strategy that includes getting as many uneducated individuals into the US as quickly as possible.

Uneducated apeopleand uniformed people generally vote for the left.


Many military families beg to differ with that conclusion.
 
It is followed, but it's not meant as a document restricting everything not written within it, again, we fundamentally disagree.

Well, it's not really open to what you think it should be. It's main purpose is to restrict the government to exactly what the Constitution allows it to do.

I think times change and we shouldn't restrict ourselves to a old document, but whatever.

I don't either. Maybe we need a real leader as POTUS instead of someone that just gives lip service like our current and our last President.

You seriously think the United States is going towards tyranny? :roll:

Slowly but surely. Yes.

It doesn't matter who the president is, we're essentially a plutocracy at this point.

Considering how everything was handled with the last batch of illegals why would you believe the part that you highlighted in red? Every single one of those illegals were sent free of charge to a place of their choosing here in the US. Never kept track of afterwards.

It's based on morals and principles of freedom and liberty, the age of the document is irrelevant. It's actually quite a remarkable document, and they built in methods to change it. The biggest problem we have is those in the government not following, and not being held accountable.
 
I'm a Republican and I have no problem with this. It's a minor expense to avoid a tragic outcome.

Flying illegal aliens into the US so they can stay here is insane. Flying their parents back to their country of citizenship makes more sense, or at least give them a free ride to the border.

The administration would never think of that

Propagating democrat voters, fundamentally changing America.
 
You really don't understand the murriiica joke? Hm. Thanks for your insight on how my political views are a joke, reflect badly on education, and your wonderful links to mass killings done under self proclaimed "communist regimes" that had a state. I didn't know this kind of disrespect was warranted on this forum. :confused:

You reap what you sow...

Where did I say anything like what was addressed to me on this thread?
 
Why are you trying to bring him into this? You have to realize those regimes were despicable, but they had in no way applied communism, unless they had no state, no money.. Yes, mass murders happened, it's horrible, but trying to blame it on communism is preposterous. Communism is simply a socio-economic system which puts forth common ownership of the means of production and the absence of social classes, money, and the state. You may be referring to methods used to attempt to apply this, which failed, I agree.

It has always failed; pretty sure it always will. But by all means, enjoy your pipe dream with other people's money.

How's your Kumbaya?

Yes, methods to try to achieve communism have failed, I agree.
 
Then many things go against the scope of the federal power defined in the constitution. I have read it. Anything not in the section? Again, go back to my first sentence. A piss poor job of it? Thanks for insulting my teachers. I fundamentally disagree, we do not need to strictly follow the constitution, but I guess we're separate on that.

Then you must love Obama. Maybe you should read a primer on the Constitution instead of just inserting what you want to occur.

So what grade are you in?

I dislike almost every politician, this country is more like a plutocracy at this point, and yes, I don't like Obama, I don't affiliate with the ridiculous divide in this country. Inserting what I want? Keep telling yourself that. 42nd grade, come on now.

Why is it insane? It prevents potentially lethal situations for minors. I'm not that infuriated by illegal immigration.

More illegal aliens living off tax payer contributions. Tell me why tax payer contributions should fund this travel, where the recipients are able to live where ever they want as Americans, and never leave. They will be given American citizenship and a place to live curtsey of the Obama administration.
