Who isn't scarred for life?

That is the context of the quoted scripture.

What makes you think that they don't already have Jesus on their side? You are the one that needs to take the speck out of your own eye.

Then why that scripture?

If any of those kids was sexually molested it probably didn't happen while in our custody.

as i said. a perfect jurist.

I think you mean "juror". A "jurist" is a member of the bench, a judge.

You are free to challenge me off the jury.

Is that surprising? We don't care if they don't assimilate at all.

For their sake, I hope they would. It will make their lives in this country much easier.

But even if the immigrant generation doesn't assimilate well, their children, and children's children will. That's the inevitable progression.

Are you placing blame on our border authorities for the situation the migrants have placed themselves in? When you invite yourself for dinner you might be served leftovers.

I dont blame migrants trying get a better life. And I sure most people, that are not caring and complaining about migrants would do exactly the same thing.

I don't support inflicting trauma on children. Whatever gave you that idea? If it were up to me a barrier would be in place and they wouldn't even have come here.

Your whole OP is a minimization of their experience. If you don't support traumatizing children you certainly seem unable to process how this experience may actually traumatize children.

You could read up on that if you'd want to.

No one knows the long term effect of any of this.

As I said if they do develop mental or emotional problems they will fit right into our troubled population.

You do understand who the "better life" is going to hurt don't you? One minute the liberals are all for helping the black community, the next minute they want to pull the rug out from under them. What they really want is a huge underemployed minority population that will swell the nation's social services budgets, and will vote Democrat.

Yes, Immigration Hurts American Workers

This is coming from the same poster that also just posted this

The mods will also observe the extreme, knee-jerk reactions by liberals and atheists that my threads usually get. No questions, just invective.

Just invective indeed.

Seasoned with sarcasm.

Did you have a question?

Kids are resilient. They'll do just fine.

I did.

Based upon the compassion and empathy you seem incapable of displaying I find that last claim doubtful.

If you want to express compassion and empathy in regard to this topic start your own thread.

If your first, automatic, reflexive response to children being put in concentration camps isn't compassion & empathy, you really have to stop and consider whether or not it's worth your while to go on pretending to be a Christian.

I don't believe compassion and empathy should be excluded from any venue. You appear to feel it should be excluded from all venues.

I suspect that it might have been more than just going without a toothbrush and some soap....

Yeah. It's unfortunate...but sometimes the people claiming to be family aren't even related to them.

Misrepresenting Themselves at the Border

"DHS also initiated a pilot DNA testing program in El Paso and McAllen, Texas, that ran from May 6 to May 10, 2019. DHS tested 84 family units during those four days — 16 turned out to be fake families. In other words, almost 20 percent of these supposed families were frauds.


Mr. Nevano also related that Border Patrol agents said other “families” who were not selected for testing “voluntarily came forward and admitted they were part of a fraudulent family, as they heard/witnessed that DNA testing was being conducted.”

In fact, DHS has evidence that aliens and human smugglers are “renting” (and even buying!) children to get into the country. DHS caught a 51-year old Honduran who admitted that the infant child he initially claimed was his son was actually purchased from the birth mother for the equivalent of $84."

Renting children! Thank goodness they're fixing this.

 

[Ana the Ist]

I suspect much of the cost of keeping them is not in basic needs and humanitarian aid, but in employing guards and security to keep them from escaping.

Well I'm sure there's that....

After all, without them, the next problem you'll hear about is homeless and dead children in the streets.

Christians must address the cold hard facts of life.

There is too much misdirected compassion and empathy that blinds us the hard facts of what is actually happening here.

Christians must address the cold hard facts of life.

Cold hard fact: There´s a child without a toothbrush.
It can be addressed, and it can easily be solved.
