children fleeing from violence are NOT invaders, they are refugees

[JDPriestly]

24. I worked for a homeless project for eight years.

I know what I am talking about. I have also been involved with children in the juvenile justice system.

These children have to have legal guardians, lawyers, doctors, dentists, the works. There will be 100,000 of them very possibly this year. That costs money.

Most of the refugees we take in are adults maybe with children. But there is a responsible adult involved in the process of getting resources to the refugees.

These refugees did not come with responsible adults. The legal and logistical problems are enormous and will cost quite a bit of money.

Unless private organizations come forward, I can think of no organization in our country that can handle the logistics as well as the military can. But immigration and nationalization is not normally under the military purview, not in terms of budget or money. So I am suggesting that, unless individuals want to take the children into their homes or some private organization decides to undertake the task, we use our military resources for this purpose. If we call the problem an invasion, we can categorize it as a national security challenge (which it is) and take care of it that way without having to beg the Republican House for approval.

So my plan is clear, and it makes sense. I haven't seen anyone else suggest any clear plan. All I have seen is a lot of emotion on one side or the other. I suspect that Obama is already implementing my idea. I read that in the San Antonio Tx. area, the children are being housed at Lackland Air Force Base.

Let's have some concrete suggestions about how to care for these children and how to fund their care.

This is an invasion. Refugees are invaders. And they are usually housed in refugee camps that are overseen by the United Nations. Why should these children be cared for in any other way? Eventually most of them will return home. As do most refugees hopefully.
