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

Gov

Now, the federal government is intervening so these children won’t have to make that trek -– they’ll get to fly into the U.S. instead. For free.

A new State Department and Department of Homeland Security program seeks to stop the surge of immigrant children from Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador at the southern border by giving their U.S.-based parents the option to apply to have their kids picked up and put on a plane, without paying a penny.


Are you kidding me??? I'm sick of paying for this crap! This absolute insanity.

I'm fine with letting children be reunited with their parents, you're sick of paying for what crap? This hasn't even been put into effect, nor has a price been stated.
 
Oh gawd, they's gonna import them for'nurs! We're gonner dah! We're gonner dah!

And now I have a certain song from "Team America: World Police" stuck in my head. :D

Yeah, you know, because there are unlimited funds.

Well, with money having nothing to back it worldwide and being printed in droves.. but the point is, I'd rather let kids be reunited with their parents then spend money on war machines, think whatever you want.

If the US had not let illegal border crossers in the US, then this wouldn't be an issue now would it?

Their parents paid to send them here illegally, let them fund the costs of retrieving them.

Socialists love spending other people's money.

What does this have to do with socialism? Are you trying to say Obama is a socialist? :lamo

No, I'm saying those who would support US tax payers fund this stupidity, are either liberals, socialists, or even worse, idiotic communists.

Ah, had to throw in the "idiotic communists" didn't you? I can't believe people want taxpayers to fund research for stealth bombers. :roll: Some of us have different priorities.

Then you call it a communist for being a red shoe?

I'm perfectly fine with reuniting children with their parents also. Offer to send the parents back to their children. I'd be willing to pay for that. ;)

Assuming these people are all illegal immigrants. :shock:

If they're not then why the hell were their kids left down in third world countries? And why would they need the government to pick up the tab? One months pay at minimum wage here in the US would get a child from there to here easy enough if their legal.

I don't know, you tell me.
 
I'm not getting it, sorry. You're referencing a joke I made?

It wasn't a joke. You were being sarcastic at the expense of those that are against illegal aliens. Spelling America "'murrrica" was meant to convey that those that are against illegal aliens being in the US as dumb hicks who are also often portrayed as being racist and xenophobic (despite reality showing otherwise btw).

You're not near as sly as you think you are.

I'm a Republican and I have no problem with this. It's a minor expense to avoid a tragic outcome.
 
Poor spelling is an ongoing leftist 'joke'.

But you're political lean is one long bad joke, reflecting very badly on US education and, in particular, the inbreeding going on in the hills of Kentucky. Mass killings under Communist regimes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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:

I'm talking about those in favor of spending money on researching weapons instead of this, you're making assumptions, I'd expect more from a global moderator.
And in reference to the second murica post I made, it had to do with the song.
