<But I am with that Texas judge pleading for compassion handling those kids and to realize these are kids, " and are just like our kids" and did nothing wrong, so we must treat them well. Like we would want our kids treated. When I hear about the idea of putting ankle bracelets on 8 year olds I see red. Children are all innocent and precious. Something (humane) will need to be done down the road, but for now I and other people of conscience want these kids dealt with humanely. < I think they are unrepresented minors from a foreign country that committed a felony by entering the country without documentation. I don't think we have the right to detain them, I think they should be immediately returned to the Government of their native country. "When I hear about the idea of putting ankle bracelets on 8 year olds I see red." If we immediately returned them to their country and did not detain them, then an angle bracelet would not be necessary. The US ultimately has responsibility for their safety, and temporarily releasing them to the care of "relatives" may be seen as a "humanitarian", but the US Govt. is still ultimately responsible for their whereabouts and their safety. My neighbors have GPS trackers on their kids backpacks. <Reagan gave them amnesty and the pubs didn't say boo,< The amnesty only served to draw in more illegals, I was not a supporter of this idea. In the end, only about 3MM of the 15MM that were eligible for "citizenship" actually became citizens. You will find that many, many illegals have no interest in citizenship. The tax consequences that comes with citizenship, etc. They simply want to be left alone and not be subject to constant threat of deportation. Since you are so concerned and compassionate, and believe that the responsibility should be shared and that the wealth should be shared from those that have and excess, and distributed to those that have less.. I am sure you wouldn't have an issue if take some of those funds from Alaska's "Permanent Fund" to help these poor children coming from Central America? PCSTEL

<Of course the pubs don't give a shit about that.< <All I know is I would trust the liberals ideas and be wary of anything the pubs want to do, as I know the pubs have little conscience and too often are hard hearted. I am proud to be a bleeding heart liberal and feel sorry for anyone who is not. It does not keep one from making the hard decisions, it only ensures it is done with the least harm and insensitivity. The idea that people who are kind are weak is pure bullshit. We are as tough as anyone. Just look at how many more liberal politicians fought in our wars and how many took deferments e.g. Cheney, Bush and Romney compared to the McGoverns of the world who was a war hero. I saw the numbers once and it was breathtaking how many more dems fought than pubs.> Okay!!
