Hey! Got an idea! Cut out middle man, bring kids here ourselves! What a plan!

Unfortunately, it is exactly what Obama is considering as a "solution" to the "refugee" crisis.

HotAir.com: New solution to border crisis: Send U.S. officials to Honduras to give kids refugee status?http://hotair.com/archives/2014/07/...ials-to-honduras-to-give-kids-refugee-status/http://hotair.com/archives/2014/07/...ials-to-honduras-to-give-kids-refugee-status/

A foolproof plan to ease pressure on the border that’s currently being considered by the White House. Why force kids to make a dangerous trip through Mexico only to end up as illegal immigrants in the United States when we could go to them, grant them legal status, and send them north to America ourselves? It’s so crazy it just. might. work.

Minor footnote: Federal law doesn’t allow refugee status to be granted for fear of street gangs, only for fear of racial/religious/political persecution, but oh well. Legal details never stopped Obama before.

From the New York Times: "If approved, the plan would direct the government to screen thousands of children and youths in Honduras to see if they can enter the United States as refugees or on emergency humanitarian grounds. It would be the first American refugee effort in a nation reachable by land to the United States, the White House said, putting the violence in Honduras on the level of humanitarian emergencies in Haiti and Vietnam, where such programs have been conducted in the past amid war and major crises…

The proposal, prepared by several federal agencies, says the pilot program under consideration would cost up to $47 million over two years, assuming 5,000 applied and about 1,750 people were accepted. If successful, it would be adopted in Guatemala and El Salvador as well…"

I'd say, "You've got to be kidding me," but it is obvious Obama is not.

As the HotAir.com poster said, gang violence is not mentioned in the law so often cited by pinhead liberals in Washington, the "William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008." It references only sexual slavery, war and natural disaster. Minor detail. I'm sure Obama can find a way to redefine "gangsters" as natural disasters, right?
