What a dumb bastard.
------
Congressman Blake Farenthold (R-TX) told CNNs Soledad OBrien on Monday morning that the 16-year-olds who crossed the United States border illegally with their families had a say in it, and thus the new immigration policy put forth by President Obama is amnesty for people who were perfectly capable of making the decision to not immigrate illegally.
(...)
Youre talking about people that came over at 16 years of age. At that point, you had a say in it. And that looks kind of more like amnesty, the congressman said.
OBrien was skeptical of this remark, challenging the congressman: You think a 16-year-old whose parents are coming across the border has a say in whether or not theyre just going to stay behind in their country?
Theyre certainly in a position to have a conversation with their parents about it, Farenthold replied

Personal note. Even though my parents allowed for the 'growing up process', I didn't have 'a whole lot of say in it' untill I paid the first months rent on my own apartment.
