Thank-you. That fact is blatantly obvious to anyone not in a panic because the RW propagandists found they could press some folks 'existential threat' button with this....

It's not his reading, it's his thinking.

He gets that 'Obama might get the resources to do a lot of good for brutalized refugee children, and get some credit for it,' and he thinks 'What a freaking nightmare!'

Isn't that what every Teapublican wants? Misery needs company.

Only a jackass could come up with that perspective, so I guess its not my thinking at issue here.

No, it goes something like this, and it always has:

I'm all for taking care of the folks that are here, giving them their hearings or whatever, keeping those that deserve to be here and sending the criminals, gang members, terrorists, etc back. But what makes no sense to me is why we continue to allow folks to cross. The competing priority must be to control the border, and there's no effort to prioritize that.

What is your party's solution?

No emergency funding.
No putting the 18 month old bipartisan Senate immigration reform plan on the House floor for a vote.
No higher taxes on corps and the well to do to adequately fund government.
No compromise (because every Repub breaks out in a cold sweat when they think of Eric Cantor.)

Sounds like a whole lotta childish 'My way or the highway' nonsense considering the Democrats lost the last House vote by winning almost a half million more votes than the Repubs.

Controlling the border is not the issue with these Central American kids, though it remains the unending refrain from the GOP. More border patrols would simply mean that we hasten these kids' trip to the detention centers. WTF good would that do?

I am wondering why this is even worth discussing. Another republican joke.

Controlling the border is an absolute joke. If it could be done at all, I promise it would have happened in Texas first! When has any border anywhere in the world been controlled?
