    Now we are doing Hotels for illegals

    At least they're being transparent about telling you they aren't going to tell you anything.

    Now we are doing Hotels for illegals

    And in a related story, Arizona Republican legislator and congressional candidate Adam Kwasman went ballistic during a protest near an Oracle, AZ migrant shelter when a school bus full of Border Kids with "fear on the faces" passed by. "Bus coming in. This is not compassion. This is the...

    Now we are doing Hotels for illegals

    The chairman of the Prince William County, Virginia (Manassas , Board of Supervisors is hoping to put enough pressure on the county's executive to find out how many undocumented immigrant children are living in the county and what kind of financial impact they could have...

    Now we are doing Hotels for illegals

    A few years ago I had a belt tensioner go when I was at the J in Edinburg. Got towed to Ed Payne Motors in Weslaco, which is a mile or so from the Palm Aire Hotel. I was going to stay at the Super 8 or the Holiday Inn Express, but Ed Payne had a deal with the Palm Aire that got me a room for $50...

    Now we are doing Hotels for illegals

    It's because there are government contracts involved, thus government money available. We've seen organizations and companies from all over the country who deal with children who are wanting to get some of this gubmint pie with these illegals. Big bucks, big bucks, no whammies.

    US Army POW is released in swap for 5 Gitmo detainees.

    I don't know if the military brass would go to such lengths to protect Obama from embarrassment, but Obama would certainly go to any lengths in ordering that nothing is allowed to embarrass him. We know that because he's made a career out of it. But I don't know that Bergdhal is being...

    Gov. Rick Perry discusses crisis at US-Mexico border.

    Yeah, some want to classify them as refugees because it's a hard life back where they come from, with all the violence and drug activity, that the US is a better place to live, therefore they are thus refugees. If that's the criteria, then 90 percent of the wold's population can claim refugee...

    happy july.

    I remember when the QCs went down at Panther for 2 or 3 weeks. They went down because the IT Einstein at Panther decided to do some software and hardware upgrades without having a rollback plan. Think they gave us a break on fees? Newp.

    Gov. Rick Perry discusses crisis at US-Mexico border.

    In order for any of that to matter, these kids have to be actual refugees as defined by the definitive of refugee. There is certainly a concerted effort by some to redefine these immigrants as refugees, but that effort is largely the rhetoric of pro immigration reform folks who basically want an...

    2nd fuel tank?

    Or, another way to look at it is, most everyone out here is spending roughly $4.00 a gallon fuel, while you're spending $8.00 a gallon.

    Sensible, practical. That's all you can be. As for poor starving children, word is there are boats and airplanes waiting to take children from the US to Central America so they can make their way back here and get a meal.

    Gov. Rick Perry discusses crisis at US-Mexico border.

    My aunt lives in Green Valley, not quite half way between Tucson and Nogales, right off the Interstate. Never a dull moment.

    Gov. Rick Perry discusses crisis at US-Mexico border.

    Not necessarily. Poke around. Some of the descriptions have been less than flattering for DHS and CBP. "Horrific" is a word that has been used. A couple of reporters from KVOA TV in Tucson, for example, have been trying to get in for weeks. They've been in, but only for a short time, and only...

    Actually, Leo is using YOUR logic. You're the one here who has proposed (several times over and over ad nauseum again and again lather rinse repeat) that anti-abortion folks take in all those poor unwanted children. It's a goose and gander thing. And in this case you're the gander. If you think...

    The Central American countries simply need to show some compassion. They need to stop loading these chiiiildren on trains and sending up through Mexico, wiping their hands and saying "American's problem now, suckers."

    Placing them with family and friends, who may or may not be legal themselves, to wait for an immigration hearing that 68 percent of children never show up for, is ridiculous. They should be on their way back home the next day.
