I keep hearing that so many will not show up. So many in the past never even showed up, which means they are running around somewhere and no one knows where or what they are up to. It will take years to process such staggering numbers. How many will actually show up for their hearing?

Let's consider what made America what it is. We are a melting pot, or rather a salad bowl of cultures. We all came here, and that is in respectful deference to Native Americans who came here so much earlier than we did. Along with pride comes responsibility, and we have so much of both.

The difference between Mexican and other Central American immigrants/refugees, is that Mexican officials are readily available at the border to deal with Mexicans. An Honduran, or Salvadoran, for instance, usually involves a long distance exchange, involving an airflight. and further complications. The current law reasonably takes this into consideration.

They came through Mexico first to get here so send them back there and let Mexico deal with it.
I would ask you, what might be the fate of these immigrants/refugees that are returned to Central America, those children who are terrorized by gangs and cartels? Perhaps you feel that it is just a scam. Just how sure are you?

Okay, I think that you are saying that they're not entitled to due process of law, and that they don't deserve a fair hearing. If you are saying that a human being on American soil does not deserve a fair hearing, then I believe that you are a lost soul.

Dear MG, I have to say that you are the poster that I love to hate, or should I say that I hate to love? But please trust me, there is more love than hate. All I will say is that you and I, or America is truly exceptional; we have come to where we are now, because Justice has always been the guiding light of our destiny. We are today no less than what we have been, or should be.

ILLEGAL. What part of ILLEGAL do they not understand?
Send them home and let them go through the process just like everyone else.
Close the borders, and use OUR money to take care of OUR people. Anyone who wants to become a US citizen can do it the right way, legally.
Isn't that what laws are for?
Geeezo...

Governor to activate 1,000 National Guardsmen amid growing wave of resistance to feds' efforts to shelter kids

A pernicious, little-known Obama administration policy – one that that incentivizes adult illegal immigrants to use children as human shields to escape arrest and deportation at the border – largely has escaped the media’s notice.
This same policy is driving the historic surge of children at the border, as everyone from coyotes to illegal immigrant adults already in America seeks to use children to guarantee their safe passage into the country, or to protect them from deportation if they are illegally living here.

Dear JP, I must say that your opening salvo about the Kenyan B.Hussein Obama turns your post into a wingnut fringe fantasy. If you seek to change minds, then perhaps you should seek another vehicle. There is still a bit of steam left in the Benghazi outrage. Have you heard from Orly Taitz lately? At least she might be able to cure your toothache.
