People seem to be able to cry for Syrians and others as long as they are going to countries in Europe. As a nation, we need to ask why children are coming up from south of the border. And the foreign policies our Sec. of State has been making over the years that has help create the environment.
Yeah, I listened to Rev. Wright and I was right there with him when he quoted Malcolm" The chickens are coming home to roost." That was and is the Truth.
Hillary is a part of the problem. I am looking for a better solution!
"They should be sent back as soon as it can be determined who responsible adults in their families are, because there are concerns about whether all of them should be sent back," the potential 2016 presidential candidate said in an interview with CNN's Christiane Amanpour. "But I think all of them who can be should be reunited with their families."

To avoid becoming the victims of gang violence, tens of thousands of children like David have fled El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras for the United States. As their numbers skyrocket, lawmakers in Washington have sought to repatriate these refugees as quickly as possible. The Obama administration initially sought to change the 2008 Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act to allow the 52,000 or so child migrants who have arrived on US soil in the last nine months to be deported without going before an immigration judge. (Under the TVPRA, unaccompanied minors from countries that do not share a border with the United States are handed over to the Department of Health and Human Services, then go before an immigration court that will determine their fate; those hailing from Mexico, on the other hand, can accept voluntary deportation and return immediately.)
