Would you want someone like that sitting beside you in a bus?? I thoroughly believe ground hog hair is all over her because of that Maple Syrup. Face it, Canadians don't even know what real baccon is!

I do feel better about the border situation in Canada since I read this:

DES MOINES, Iowa —Boy Scouts from Troop No. 111 witnessed an intense chain of events after one of their members snapped a picture of a federal officer working the border entry point.

BORDER OFFICIAL POINTS GUN AT BOY SCOUT

A central Iowa Boy Scout troop just returned from a three-week trip they will likely never forget. The Iowa Boy Scouts group said the federal agent patrolling the U.S./Canadian border pointed a loaded gun at one of the traveling scouts.
Troop Leader Jim Fox says the scout took the picture of a border officer as the group tried to re-enter the U.S. The Boy Scouts were on a three-week journey through Canada and Alaska when the incident occurred.

Fox said that he was told that taking the photo is a federal offense. The picture was later deleted.

"The agent immediately confiscated his camera, informed him he would be arrested, fined possibly $10,000, and (receive) 10 years in prison," Fox said.

As far as the southern border goes, I worry about the safety of those children. There are some faith based charities trying to help, but it looks like most of the kids are stuck in holding facilities with no place to go. Kids don't belong in jail

Kids also don't belong in the situation they left behind.

"In essence, the report highlights the intricate ways in which violence, extreme poverty, and the desire to reunite with family members, help shape these kids’ decision to migrate. According to the report, “crime, gang threats, or violence appear to be the strongest determinants for children’s decision to emigrate. When asked why they left their home, 59 percent of Salvadoran boys and 61 percent of Salvadoran girls list one of those factors as a reason for their emigration.” In El Salvador, the report shows, the issue of gang violence is a widespread phenomenon. According to the findings, gang violence appears as the primary cause of emigration in 11 of 14 of El Salvador’s departments. In the departments of Cuscatlán and Usulután for example, over 85 percent of children flee for this reason."

Must be the influence of religion in El Salvador that's corrupting it. An entire country named for Jesus Christ (El Salvador = The Savior), something like 98% catholic, their role model is a guy who had his own 12 man gang and groupie whore. Just goes to show you everything's subject to interpretation.

Maybe the kids are fleeing the priests?

That wouldn't account for the emigrating Salvadoran girls.

What, the nuns don't have flees?

Man oh man, look at that. Somebody popped Joseph in the head! The violence is everywhere.

I think he might just be surprised at this virgin birth.

So can't we match up these abandoned children with the American families seeking to adopt from abroad but don't have the necessary finances/family profile?

I am 100% in favor of this. Mississippi has received less than 200 and they went straight to foster families or relatives. We have no children being detained here, but our governor is trying to block anymore from coming.

They're brown though...nobody wants them. #onlyhalfkidding

I take it you've not heard the song "Brown Complexion."
