"Texas officials appealed to the Obama administration on Thursday to
secure the U.S.-Mexico border once and for all as waves of illegal
immigrant children overwhelm the system, with one lawmaker saying U.S.
military bases effectively have been transformed into camps to handle
the influx."

What if they were refugees? What if they were frightened mothers and

from terrorists?
What would you do?
1. Just shoot them?
2. Do nothing?
3. Ignore them?
4. Detain, arrest and put them in jail?
5. Let them lose on the streets?
6. Load them on a bus and send them all back to Tijuana and shout "Go
back to where you came from! USA! USA!"
7. Load them on a plane and fly them down to Central America.
8. Let one stay in your home.
9. Give them shelter and food to eat and help them get a lawyer.
10. Send in SWAT teams to root out and rip babies out of their
mother's arms.
11. Blame the President and the U.S. Congress.
12. Demand that the federal government secure the border.
13. Demand that the federal government pay all expenses to house them.
14. All of the above.

What if you found out that the children were trying to join their

thousands of refugee children back to Central America?
What if you found out that U.S. SWAT teams were going into homes and
ripping children from their parents and sending them back home alone?
According to to U.S. law, a child seeking asylum in the U.S. cannot
be deported. Go figure.
"It's a huge humanitarian crisis that is testing the leadership
skills of President Barack Obama and the capacity of agencies charged
with controlling our borders and dealing with asylum requests."
