A bus ride from their home to the consulate and an American tax payer paid trip to America with citizenship and all the fixins..


I'm beyond words...
 
If the US does that, it should be very informative about it, so that populations around the World know that the US is out there doing human rights things others refuse to do.

Heh, yeah, those other countries which put their own citizens needs first...

The gall...

Well we do have to do something about the kids dumped at the door.

You didn't read the article did you?

It isn't about having kids dumped at our door, it's about us going to their door and asking if they want to take a trip.

For those dumped at our door, feed 'em, give 'em a physical, put 'em in a new sweat suit and ship them where they're from. 1 month turn around at the most. Other than that, the cupboard's bare, the tank is empty, and the wallet is tapioca'd...
 

Is picking them up not preferable to having one in three die in transport?
 
I'm not.

International laws dictate how refugees must be treated.

Are you suggesting that the USA ignore those laws?

Fill us in.

Could you provide a link to some of these laws that define a refugee? I'm pretty sure that if they are in their own country that they are not refugees.
 
I could, but I'm going to do you a favor and let you do your own research.

IOW, you can't support your own argument.

The fact is, this is the dunbest idea to come out of this regime, to date.

No, in other words, I'm not going to do anyone's work for them.

I'm retired, look that up in your dictionary.

That's your stupid opinion, which you are entitled to and I will ignore.

Drone on.

And this aint that.

You're not reading, this isn't the kids dumped at the door. This is pickup service paid for by the taxpayer. Can't believe I ever voted for this asshole.

No, and no to them coming here in the first place.
 
I had a feeling this would happen.



So it's really increasing the number of refugee visas from those countries, not as it's kind of implied that the ones here would get refugee status. While this isn't really helping the current situation, maybe it's a good step for moving forward.
 
No, and no to them coming here in the first place.

Literally preferable to hav children die trying to come here.

When did my country get this way? What happened to the statement we placed on the Statue of Liberty?
 
Good, sign out and get the 'f' out of here then.

If you don't have anything to say. then don't say it.

Take a chill. You're reasonable and you made a mistake here. Recognize it and move on. Read the OP article. Read what they are proposing. We'd be going to a foreign country, inviting folks to ours and paying to have them delivered here. Like a full ride scholarship.
 




You can't undo what you did at the ballot box, think a little harder next time.
 



If you have any ideas about what anyone can do to can do to stop it, carry on, otherwise get the 'f' out of my face

No, I'd rather they don't die trying, that they not try to invade in the first place. But people sometimes do stupid things that cause their deaths.

When you stopped calling for the law to be enforced my country suffers.
