    There is no nnned to post a link, we all know about the massive number of children, youth and teens crossing the border, illegally to take advantage of Obama's Dream Act!

    My question: Would you send these border jumpers back? :type:

    I hear the liberal who in their pious claim of compassion say, let them stay, yet in reality they are destroying our society in lawlessness. With their cry that we need to allow them to stay out of compassion, as they accuse others of not being compassionate for not allowing them to stay, they want others to do what they are not willing. Their claims and cries for compassion are very hypocritical, and here is why.
    If those same people went on vacation and squatters who wanted a better life took over their home, even some illegals who they claim should be allowed to stay because of compassion, were eating their food, sleeping in their beds, using their bank account, extra vehicles and so on, the owners would have them arrested and thrown out on their return. It is no different with those who come here illegally. Show them compassion where compassion is due, and deal with them under the law where there is law, but do not play the compassionate card while being a hypocrite.

    First I would show them compassion. If they were thirsty I would give them water. If they were hungry I would feed them, if they had emergency medical needs I would care for them, and above all I would give them the gospel, and then Yes without question I would send them back.

    So give them to drink, give them food, heal their wounds, give them the gospel, and send them back. Oh by the way for those liberals who want to do more, get the names and address of those who are illegal and give them the hope you claim you want them to have and send them your money in their home country, but don not be like satan who is an accuser of the brethren and say or infer that those who want them sent back are not compassionate.

    Treat the children of others as you would want your own child/children treated.

    Since I would want my children to do things legally and godly, I would teach them the RIGHT way to go about immigration. Children of foreign nations should be taught the same.

    Keeping illegals is a slap in the face to all the other immigrants who come here legally, the RIGHT way.

    I agree. My children are required to obey the law and are subject to arrest and prosecution if they break the law. So should these border criminals be subject to the law.

    CTB - Let Compassion Start with YOU.....

    It's time to put up or shut up CTB.....if you really meand what you said, call INS and volunteer to have INS drop off fifty or more of these illegal/border jumpers come and live with you until the WH gets around to take careof the problem!

    BTW - Since you are so compassionate and welcoming, you take care the bill for food, diapers, medicine, medical care, clean up, etc.

    I am so tired of liberals frivolusly spending my hard earned tax

    As Rush has been pointing out, Obama has said that these children of foreign nations are our future--it would seem that to be just that they would be the future of their own countries. They should not be on American military bases but should be returned to their parents.

    Everybody wants to act like men and not consult the Word of God and to pray for wiadom, and just settle this matter on out heart feelings... not good. There is a great God that must be consulted to properly settle this issue and we have yet to go to Him.

    God has taught us we will always have the poor and yet so many of us believe our riches will cure any problem and this in spite of history. Couple thse two matters with the truth of an Islamic Pretender in the Oval Office and, excuse me but, our manure is well beyond tosted and is burning... rapidly.

    You say he is not Islamic... well, we are instructed to judge (forget that lie from the world about Matt. 7:1 and read the rest of the Sermon on the mount) people by their fruits. One of the first year acts of the Pretender was to disconnect the White House from the National Christian Day Of Prayer and soon thereafter he connected the Islamic National Day Of Prayer where he removed his shoes and knelt to the East (toward Mecca) on his Prayer Rug. I am sorry but that is not Christian and I do not worship the same god they do, even if the new Pope believes so.

    I have been studying the scriptures since January 1, 1990 and I have yet to see where America (The Nation known by the Eagle making it's nest in a nest of stars) in any End Time prophecy. Historical research places the birth of our Jesus just before the year our Julian Calendar maks as zero. As nearly as I cann discern (judge) the Christ was born about four thousand years after He created Adam and Eve.

    It has been about two thousand years since His murder on the Cross and the scriptures teach us that God finds completeness in sevens. Scripture teaches that a day is as a thousand years and thousand years as a day. On this basis, using the Christian metod of measure, I pace us a about 3 or 4 minutes before midnight, the midnight that will usher in the Seventh Day, a.k.a. the Day Of The Lord.

    The pretender promised to change the U.S. to be more like the third World Nations and he has and e still is. I do not see these children ever returnimg to where they belong except they amass a fortune and remove it from the States. As I said, our mess not only stinks, it's ablaze.

    Everyone does know of course that there is no truth to this statement.

    This whole child thing is a conundrum. It is difficult to know how to handle it without endangering these kids. Their dilemma is not of their own making. It is not like dealing with adults who are knowingly breaking the law. I wish I had a good answer for a very tough situation.

    If there is a way to ensure their safe return to their parents that is obviously the best solution, but is that possible?

    Oh, thank goodness! For a minute there, I was afraid you were going to say something crazy.

    I'm voting based on the question being a matter of U.S. domestic policy. No, the government cannot afford to provide for these children, and the law of the land says they should be deported. That is my position regarding the government's role.

    Now, if churches want to step up, provide for and place the children for adoption, I'm all for that. That is the only legitimate "path to citizenship" they have. Any congressional or presidential declaration, or court ruling, would not actually have the full force of law even if those making them were to claim it did. It would go against every immigration principle we have codified in the U.S.C.

    My sympathies for the children abound. They are innocent pawns in a chess game of political maneuvering begun by our president that essentially invited this "friendly invasion" of juveniles from other countries. He knew the consequences of his policies and statements, and did nothing to mitigate the illegal entry of these children. It is yet another example of Obama's hidden agenda and failed leadership.

    Okay. Now I am worried. We agree on a political post :)

    BTW, thank you so much for referring to the president the way you did in this post.

    With the help of a brother and member of the board, I realized I could not continue to speak of him in the manner I have been for over five years. I will continue to reiterate that I believe he is Marxist, incompetent and has a hidden agenda, but I will no longer use epithets to identify him.

    I already respected you on the other areas of this board. My estimation of you has just risen greatly.

    Thank you my brother.
