    How is it not demanding, when the people paying for it were not asked - the kids were just sent? And the money of citizens is now being used for care?
    That sounds like a demand was made and our government made the country comply because they sure aren't getting the money out of their personal wallets.
    Oh, and one state had this sudden shortage of teachers, so they hired outside of the country. Teachers who speak Spanish. Don't think about it too hard.

    Read on (I think) msn this morn that Mexico had closed a warehouse with 1200 kids in it that had been abused by adults. Wonder why they had them warehoused and also wonder how many more places like it they have and why.

    When has Congress polled you before allocating your tax dollars? Why should this situation be different just because yall are politicizing it?

    Your tax dollars get used for all sorts of things that you're not asked about.

    True ....

    ..... and we have the right to call the government out for using our taxes to fund things like abortion! Removing the right to pray in school. Forcing same sex marriage upon a group of people who do not believe it should be equal to Christian Marriage. And before you jump on that statement let me remind you what Jesus said about marriage .... Matthew 19:4-6, (NKJV) - "And He answered and said to them, “Have you not read that He who made[a] them at the beginning ‘made them male and female,’ 5 and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’?[c] 6 So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.”

    What you are claiming to be politicizing issues is your view. I think most of us are not making it a political issue but rather a moral issue and one that threaten our faith! Remember, when the government demands people to act a certain way or accept a certain lifestyle as being normal, that mandate affects the entirety of the people, and the children of those who hold to spiritual issues and do not want our children and their children to lose sight of Holiness according to the Word of God.

    It has been shown to be true, that if a sin is normalized, eventually those who opposed it either die off, or grow tired of objecting, and the generations to follow see it as not being a problem, thus giving those coming up in later years the opinion that a sin must not be a sin if the government says it isn't a sin! This is how sins have been slowly removed from a society and culture.

    Political? NO! A spiritual and holiness issue? Yes!

    So says you ...

    The Bible teaches us to be prudent and to practice wise stewardship. What America is doing and teaching the young people is that it is perfectly fine to break a law if it is for humane purposes.

    I do not see this as a humane issue, but a criminal one, setting a bad precedence for future generations to come, and it will surely destroy America from the inside out.

    One has to look no further than who is protesting against illegal's and who is protesting against the protestors.

    I've been to these protests, and I can guarantee you that the majority of those protesting against amnesty, and the recent crisis are illegal's who have been here, not been caught, and feel safe enough to now come out and support more illegals coming via the way they themselves came to America: ILLEGALLY!

    Thus, we have massive divisions, and if we do not stop it in its tracks, it will become more divided and lead to entitlement by those here illegally and facing now consequences and tremendous resentment and possibly race wars of unseen proportions! If you think, I do not know what I am saying, go to a rally, and stand back and feel the tension. It will take little to push one group or the other over the edge, and once it starts it will be hard to put down. Maybe the government knows this because they are arming and preparing everyone in law enforcement to the military to be ready to take on fellow Americans if need be!

    And they are conditioning us to accept it as normal and calling everyone who doesn't a "threat". Zaac might think he's safe because he goes along with it now but eventually they'll come for him too. They're already busy demonizing Christians. It's just a matter of the right pretext and then all these good folks that think we're nuts for hitting the alarm button will have the boots they've been licking grinding their face in the ground too.

    Do you suppose they'll wake up then?

    Then why don't you take this week off and go to the border and help Glen Beck's charity distribute food, water, books and toys to those children? Let's see you put your words into action. I can't because of my schedule, but my wife and I gave money to the efforts. How about you?

    It's easy to pay lip service to "doing what Jesus would do." Have you actually done that? If you have already done something of that nature, Bravo!!

    If not, why not?

    So why is the charity of a man who rejects Jesus Christ being pushed? Are there no Jesus Christ loving churches doing anything?

    I don't recall Jesus sending money. He made time to go do what needed to be done in person. :laugh:

    The last time congress met over the budget, when everything was being shut down. Do you not join in on the conferences and polls?
    This is what the people in congress do and why we elect reps. So yes, we do allegedly have a degree of control over it.
