Not to my knowledge, but it is a splendid idea.

I take it your ancestry is 100% native American.

Times change.

Depending on whose ox is being gored?

If some of you think we are doing the "compassionate" thing for these children, I highly encourage you Google search images of these children and see the deplorable conditions they are currently being housed. Truly a sad situation and we should be ashamed. These are children ranging in age from 5 to 17.

...and for how many years did they endure much worse conditions from where they came?

We should have them resettled as soon as possible.

Not sure how relevant that is when we are supposed to be the compassionate ones. We have thousands of children living in buildings and rooms made for hundreds. This is the best we can do? Katrina all over again.....just lacking the images on the news.....

The second part of my post did not make it to the quote. It is "we should get them resettled as quickly as possible."

As far as the images on the news, look at the " sources" for the pictures. Not too reliable.

Gov Rick Perry is sending a thousand of his armed National Guardsmen to the border today to confront the children. This should make for some interesting images on the news.

has the compassion taken care of those kids/youngsters born here or here legally in similar or worse conditions here in the USA?

How much of the free stuff being made available for the "illegals" is also available for those LEGALS in need here in the USA?

How many votes could be in that.....not enough obviously.

This deployment requires WH approval, which I assume he will get as the President has already said he is 'open" to this.

Instead of "confront the children", I think it is to enforce United States Law, and to try and secure the border !

Just another way of saying it I guess

By the way..someone not worrying about how he looks but doing what is right would be refreshing !

I am not sure if the posts mentioning the children are another attempt at laying guilt on any American who believes in the LAW of the country and enforcement thereof, along with the security that is supposed to be provided at our border.

If it is, count me as one who does not feel guilty and I assure you I have compassion and tolerance in abundance.

I see nobody feeling any compassion for those who have their lives unsettled by this rush on our border.

EVERYONE prays for those children, hope they are not being taken advantage of, and wish them well. It will NOT get better as times goes on...only worse.

PS...He really does not NEED WH approval. If he doesnt get it, he pays.

Gov Perry is already asking for federal funds to pay for this deployment, but if congress doesn't approve the funds the president requested, Perry will be on his own.

Gov Rick Perry is being praised for sending the national guard to the border to inform the child invaders that there is no health care available in Texas for children.
