Can't we just ship them up to Detroit and then on to Canada. Detroit is just like a third world county.
Just leave them in Detroit. The Canucks won't have to worry about them and neither will we.

Actually, I think he met the criteria very well to be considered a refugee. And he should have been left with his family in Florida.Elian Gonzalez wasn't a refugee.
I'm for dropping the walls where refugees are concerned. It's just that simple. Refugees make good citizens in time. My family and I worked with Operation Babylift after Vietnam. Guess we should have turned those damned planes around and sent them right back where they came from. Thankfully that point of view was very rare back then. All those kids, and the adults who also managed to make it are now good citizens. I can live with those kinds of folks.No argument against any of this here. My question is why you are so hell-bent on throwing the doors wide open to any damned body who wants to help himself. While I am apparently not as old as you are, I have invested my share of efforts into working for these changes. So far, it hasn't worked out so well as you are well aware.
Maybe we should just scrap the old girl.Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
So do some of these kids at the border. They'd sure like to be reunited with their families, too.My point exactly. Refugee status is arbitrary and largely dependent on the political climate.
Of course, he wasn't really a refugee. He had family here.

One does not get a pass on the tragedy that he causes.

Interesting that. A problem we cause. These countries south of us are dealing with the fallout of something we caused, too. Our drug war has managed to destabilise their countries and empower the narco traffickers. But I guess we don't owe these victims anything as they try to escape the consequences of our failed drug war and the gang members we deported back there.
Then they can follow protocol and enter legally.So do some of these kids at the border. They'd sure like to be reunited with their families, too.

OK, so you have established that both parties have a large number of f*cking retards. Please tell us something that we don't already know. Further, so far as I am concerned, having two disparate groups of retards agreeing on something demonstrates that the idea is truly dumber than owl sh*t.
Did you get hacked or you been drinking? Little harsh
...There was a time when I was convinced that you were basically what you presented yourself to be. I cannot comprehend a point at which libertarian and socialist thought meet in a way that they can philosophically coexist. Taken in combination with your open ill will toward Republicans, I am left to conclude that you are nothing but a socialist with habits that keep you in venues in which open socialism is not generally welcomed.
...I will defer to your judgment and understand that a libertarian is someone who makes a cottage industry of b*tching about excessive government but then somehow believes that the government forcibly taking my money for redistribution is acceptable so long as it is for the benefit of foreign invaders and not our own people...

Hey, look. Here's one of the little darlings now...
