Glenn Beck says he cant sleep at night thinking about the children

http://www.politico.com/story/2014/07/glenn-beck-immigration-border-radio-show-108911.html

Conservative radio host Glenn Beck directly addressed the parents of children in Latin America on his show on Tuesday, begging them in a monologue with Spanish captions not to send their children to the United States.

“I come to you as a dad … keep your family together,” Beck said on his program on Blaze TV. “Please would you consider doing the hard thing as well would you resist the temptation to flee or break up your family, please don’t hand your child off to a smuggler in the middle of the night .....”During the monologue, Beck choked up describing what has happened to some children who have attempted the journey to the United States, only to die along the journey. He said those that do make it are living in deplorable conditions.

“I can’t sleep at night thinking about your on daughter and so I and about 150 volunteers and multiple semi-trucks are going down to our border and we will see your child…and we will care for them,” Beck said.Beck has raised more than $2 million in food, toys and supplies that he plans to bring to children being held on the southern border this Saturday, along with members of Congress.But while he’s raising money for the undocumented children, Beck cautioned listeners he is not an advocate for illegal immigration. At the end of his monologue Beck said that he’ll comfort the children by telling them they’ll be going home — deported from the border.
