Since October, 52,000 unaccompanied children have been picked up trying to cross into the U.S.
What's driving these people north is crippling poverty and out-of-control violence in places like Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador.
Not our kids!
Not our problem! If Obama likes them so much, let him stay at the White House!
That is an interesting suggestion. Although a grown man inviting thousands of kids to his house gives off a little bit of a Neverland Ranch vibe. All right, so look, it's not like these countries developed problems overnight. Why the sudden kidsplosion?
Republicans point to the President's 2012 order that protects some children from deportation, but that applies only to those who enter the United States before 2007.
If I have told kids fleeing violence and poverty once, I've told them a thousand times. Immigrant minors seeking asylum post-2007 must apply at their consulate with form N-400 and a biometrics fee. Then appear for a series of processing interviews to ascertain priority determination, unless they have family living in the United States, in which case they file form I-130. And then you file form DS-260 under your NVC case number. Unless, of course, you have skills attractive to an employer. Well, do you? Do you? Child fleeing violence and poverty? Because if you do, you're gonna wanna go with form I-140. I mean, it's not that difficult, child. Now, you may be wondering, if they didn't fill out the forms, can't we just deport these kids?
Well, first of all, what the is wrong with you? These are children. Why would you even ask that? And second of all, good question. Why can't we just deport them?
A 2008 law signed by President George W. Bush says children from countries not bordering the US cannot be immediately deported.
Stupid liberals. That's why we need a Republican in the White House. Well, since we apparently have a process in place, why all the hullabaloo?
They can appear in court and make the case for Stain.
Tens of thousands of undocumented and often unaccompanied children are overwhelming federal facilities.
Well, of course, the agents of the Border Patrol are doing what they can to help these kids.
I've watched them do everything from change diapers to heat formula. Many of these are single young men who are not particularly good at that, but they're really getting better.
It's all going to be... It's all gonna be documented in the new hit movie, Three Men and 50,000 Babies. Steve, one of them, is that? Gutenberg's back, baby! So we got ourselves a genuine humanitarian crisis. Unless someone would like to label it differently.
World English Dictionary defines invasion, it's any encroachment or intrusion or advent of something harmful, as in a disease.
Ah, Representative Louie Gohmert! He's like Old Faithful. If instead of hot water, it regularly shot out stupid.
In the Constitution, under Article I, Section 8, it says that Congress has the authority to call for the military during times of invasion.
You want the Marines on this one. You want tip of the spear. All right, now I'm not a military expert, obviously, but generally an enemy invasion force is not particularly dangerous until it can reach and open its own cereal. Now, from what I know, even Hitler wasn't always an imminent threat. Actually, there's someone who works here. I know, I'm just, I'm waiting for the day when that kid, 20 years from now, just hunts me down, comes to my door and goes, yeah, it's real funny. Yeah, that's real, real funny. Anyway, so, humanitarian crisis, response system overwhelmed. Where have we seen this before? This, anybody, anybody? Oh, you, fellow Lone Star Republican Congressman, Blake Farenthold. Mayor Maynard.
