In reply to the discussion: Martin O'Malley: 'We Can't Send Children Back to Death' - Says 'Get Them Out Of These Kennels' [View all]butterfly77
(17,609 posts)46. I like O'Malley but..
I notice politicians and others speak up for homeless from other countries but don't say a damn thing about children and adults already living in America living on the streets. Affordable housing for Americans!
I can see in these children and there families living better than Americans who have been here for decades and catching hell! Have at it..I live in Detroit.
Don't send them here everytime there is a problem this is the drop off spot seen it throughout the Clinton years,after Katrina. Nothing against the people but send them to Idaho,Wyoming,New York,North Dakota,South Dakota, Oklahoma we have enough problems.
