Hoping to stem the recent surge of migrants at the Southwest border, the Obama administration is considering whether to allow hundreds of minors and young adults from Honduras into the United States without making the dangerous trek through Mexico, according to a draft of the proposal.

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...
I'm not.
International laws dictate how refugees must be treated.
Are you suggesting that the USA ignore those laws?
Fill us in.
I'm pretty sure that if they are in their own country that they are not refugees.Could you provide a link to some of these laws that define a refugee?
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.

The proposal, prepared by several federal agencies, says the pilot program under consideration would cost up to $47 million over two years, assuming 5,000 applied and about 1,750 people were accepted. If successful, it would be adopted in Guatemala and El Salvador as well.
It is unclear how the administration determined those estimates, given that since Oct. 1 more than 16,500 unaccompanied children traveled to the United States from Honduras alone.
Children would be interviewed by American immigration employees trained to deal with minors, and a resettlement center would be set up in the Honduran capital, Tegucigalpa, with assistance from international organizations like the International Organization for Migration.
The plan would be similar to a recent bill introduced by Senators John McCain and Jeff Flake of Arizona, who proposed increasing the number of refugee visas to the three Central American countries by 5,000 each.
According to the draft, the administration is considering opening the program to people under 21. It also suggested offering entry on emergency humanitarian grounds — known as humanitarian parole — to some of the applicants who did not qualify for refugee status.
No, and no to them coming here in the first place.
Good, sign out and get the 'f' out of here then.
If you don't have anything to say. then don't say it.
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.
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.
Literally preferable to hav children die trying to come here.
When did my country get this way?
That's your stupid opinion, which you are entitled to and I will ignore.
Drone on.
