Anyone seen the fence Mexico put up between them and Guatemala? They say they don't want Guatemala draining their resources.

Ok...
First, I can just imagine the headlines if Obama had suggested we make the child sex-trafficking laws less strict. FOX would have been on that in a second claiming Obama wants to sell our children to muslims or something, and you and Drafter would be posting the articles here.

This is a Bush era law. It isn't Bush's fault, no one would have expected child trafficking laws would have caused this, but it certainly is a law passed prior to Obama's administration. How do you suggest exactly that obama fix this?

And YES, someone paid to have this kids bused to Mexico's northern border. Their parents. Their parents are shipping them up because they think the kids will be taken in to the US if they make it across the border. Our current laws (which CONGRESS has to fix, because it's a LAW) say we have to put them somewhere and give them a court date. They're being shipped everywhere because there isn't one single location big enough to house them and our court system takes a long time (you know, that whole law thing we've got going on).

Your partisan whining isn't solving this issue.

So a group of Mexican parents organized a grass roots plan to bus tens of thousands of kids to the US border?

That's your argument?

You're delusional.

1 - I hate all children. South american, Mexican, Yours. All of them. That's why I live in the city. They can bus these children to your suburb for all I care.

2 - Were you bright enough to see the part where I specifically said it wasn't Bush's fault? No? Because you're still claiming I'm blaming Bush (or the bush era).

3 - I asked you what you wanted Obama to actually do about it, and you didn't answer. I'm guessing that's because you don't actually have an answer which includes anything actionable for the president.

As TCBY pointed out, they're central/south american. But something like that is happening. They're paying huge amounts of money to guides to get the kids across the border. Once across, our government is stuck with them until we provide them with a court hearing. I think we're the ones putting them in buses... I suppose we could give them all private towncars... but that seems a little excessive.

TCBY... while I don't particularly care what you call me, don't claim you're taking the high road here. I believe you generally like to try to feminize my name (see post 74 of this very thread). If you want to stop "adolescent behavior" tell me, I'll gladly stop referring to you as TCBY for exactly as long as you can manage to act mature.

I'm not sure why you think I'm "taken care of" in the city. I give people money, in exchange for goods and services. Is that what you're talking about? Do you have a problem with the free exchange on a marketplace? Don't tell me you're a commie...

So who's paying to bus the little cherubs to our border?
And who is organizing it without our knowledge?
It's not like these villages have algore's internet and web forums on how to adopt a gringo mama.

Anyone who thinks this invasion was a surprise to our government doesn't quite get it.
Where obama failed was in their refusal to be proactive prior to touchdown. This reactive posturing is helping nobody.

You post so often you're losing track here.
From post 105:

"...And YES, someone paid to have this kids bused to Mexico's northern border. Their parents. Their parents are shipping them up because they think the kids will be taken in to the US if they make it across the border. ..."


Slow down. Take a breath.

I was colloquially using "bused" ... As in I'm sure they didn't fly from Guatemala. Throw a dozen in the back of a moving truck, sneak them across the border and send them on their way.

The busses you're seeing in the news I'm guessing are US govt vehicles. Those did not transport them into the country.

You're lost in the minutia.
I don't care about the bus on this side of the border.

These kids didn't collectively show up, by the 10's of thousands, at the same time, in the back of random trucks.
They WERE bused in. In an organized effort.

THAT should be the discussion point.
THAT should be the focus of our angst.

Why didn't our president and his administration see this coming?
Or, more realistically, why didn't they do something when the DID see it coming?

Can't blame Bush for that.

I don't have the numbers in front of me but the thought I remembered 57k or something this year.
That's what... 9k a month? 300 a day? Over what 1-2k miles of border?

Standard organized coyotes do like 12 a trip? Doesn't sound like something which is nefariously organized (beyond just a standard refugee wave)

Here Tail... this article answers a lot of the questions.

First, this isn't something just popping up. The number of refugees has been increasing over the years... they're coming from multiple countries, and going to different destinations in the US. It isn't some organized effort...

Second, and this is the most important question, what do you want obama to do? He's asking for money with both border security and refugee "handling" money earmarked. Representatives are trying to debunk the myth that the kids will get to stay. Is there anything else he can do?

Did you read the article you linked, or just look at the pictures?
Second paragraph:

"Since October, more than 52,000 children — most from Central America and many of them unaccompanied by adults — have been taken into custody. That's nearly double last year's total and 10 times the number from 2009."

When a problem escalates almost exponentially, it is important to remain (or become) proactive.
Sitting back and pointing fingers and asking for more money and threatening executive orders and accusing others of not doing enough while the head honcho himself has let this grow by a FACTOR OF 10 under his watch can not be considered the best approach.


Accept the children.
Shoot the parents.

That's why I said "it's been increasing over the years".
As in, this year is more than last year. That year was probably more than the year before it.
If we're looking at a 10x increase from 2009, and a doubling from 2013 to 2014, there's probably two more doublings between 2009-2013. Perhaps I wasn't clear, but I wasn't talking about increasing over large amounts of time. Just that it's more than just what everyone's talking about this year.

OK Tail. I'll ask you the same question which TCBY ignored. What would you like Obama to do which he has not already done?

I'm open to suggestions... honestly. I'd be open to shooting children at the border, or gas chambers or whatever. But no one's suggested that yet, and we'd have to get congress to pass a law. I mean, I guess Obama could vacation to texas or something and stand guard at the border himself. But other than that, he has to ask for money.

While I'm ok with this solution we don't have the parents to shoot... they're in honduras or venezuela or wherever. Its gonna take a lot more than 350MM to hunt down all of them and shoot them.

When the problem grows exponentially, how did it "suddenly" become a problem?
Obama should have been dealing with this when it was a "small" issue. Now it's catastrophic. Don't ask what he should do, but rather question why he did nothing.

Shoot the parents. Even if you only get a few it will stop the influx overnight.

That's fine with me. Ask your state representative to pass a law requiring we hunt and kill the absentee parents in their home countries.

I'm anticipating the debates with glee.

As for why he did nothing... the increase has been caused by instability in the central/south american countries. If he were to fix this problem he would have 2 options:
1 - increase aid/support to the foreign gov'ts to reduce the instability (I can imagine the headlines for this)
2 - make changes to the "save the poor children from human trafficking" law bush signed into law (Boy... those headlines would be even more insane).

Tail... it's an interestingly unfortunate situation. If it makes you feel any better, I don't think bush could have anticipated this.

Some lady on the NPRs this morning was saying the children were afraid for their lives and being made to smoke pot and crack and stuff... it's our obligation to save them because the cartels would have killed them eventually...... she also said we should build refugee camps and stuff to keep them in until a judge decides if they can stay or not...

1 theory I have heard makes sense. Legalize illicit drugs thereby removing the danger in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras. Unfortunately I cannot agree with this as I see it being a further degradation of our society. Also since this would not improve living conditions would it really have any effect?

It's never productive to look at any situation as it sits now and debate what should be done. It is always more productive to spend time looking backwards not for clues on how to do things better, but blaming for nothing being done. That is part of the quality improvement model. two thumbs up.

So elected officials should always do nothing, until it is too late.
Then they can't be held accountable, because to do so would be "looking backwards".
