Discussion: Report: McConnell, Paul Oppose Housing Child Migrants In Kentucky

Discussion for article #225373

I suppose you could point out that giving them a Happy Meal at the border and shooing them away home to keep them out of the “interior” like they were boll weevils or something isn’t what the 2008 law that hasn’t to my knowledge been repealed says to do INPEACH! But Jon Stewart gets paid to do that and I don’t so never mind.

They created the mess, want some other state to deal with it, scream that Obama is not leading, thwart Obama’s effort to get immigration reform done (lead), raise money off of the “invasion at our border”, pull expensive stunts (Perry moving 1000 guardsmen to the border), mouth token support that they “care” about the children, pose for photo ops at the boarder, cry about the scary brown teenage males they saw on the boarder, warn of terror babies, warn of disease carrying terror babies, warn of disease carrying terror baby drug mules, warn of disease carrying pregnant teenage mutant ninja turtle terror baby drug mules.

And then they wonder why their approval rating is lower than a good case of herpes.

First - of COURSE these two are against it, who didn’t see that coming?

Second - “treat the children humanely” and “return them immediately” seem to be exact opposites in this case. Which is it?

“I think what we should do is feed, clothe and send the kids back and find who’s responsible for them in their countries,” Paul was quoted as saying,

Feed them and clothe them, but not in MY state.

Whatever you do, don’t let them disease bearin’ youngin’s into the precious interior of our beloved country. It gives 'em ideas. Like maybe they will sign up for the Medicaid expansion in KY.

I guess you could say the Bluegrass State has its own child migrant problems:

According to the census numbers 2012, child poverty in KY was at 26.5 percent while total poverty was 19.4 percent and more than 18 percent of Kentuckians received food stamps.

Always in the top ten - in all the wrong categories.

You know, make a few calls, get on the cell phones, call mom and dad.

Conservative humanity has borders and age and color discrimination. None of that makes any sense.

Shorter McConnell and Paul: “If they can’t mine coal, we don’t want 'em.”
