When I was a kid on the farm there was one rule you obeyed or you butt would suffer the most horrible pain. Grand Pa's rule---always close the gate behind you. This week there has been many news reports about the invasion from Mexico. Clearly, the gate is open. In my city of McAllen, the Hispanics, much to their credit, have banded together and are furnishing water, food, clothes and money (and bus tickets). The invaders are sent on their way with a hug and a kiss and I am sitting here wondering when more then 50 thousand kids enroll in school in Sept. how the schools will handle the influx. I am wondering what will happen in the future when these invaders begin to think about making a living. Will they be competing against the children of the folks who are working hard to feed these invaders? What a dilemma. Before you call me a racist let me tell you that I have so many friends who are hispanics and in my immediate family we have two Daughters -in -laws that are hispanics. Cream of the crop. For 42 years I have taught hispanics in my chosen field of Music. You could not ask for better students. So, I think my problem is wondering why we are in this mess. Why is Mexico not taking care of its southern border? Why can't we secure our own border? Why can't the government send troops to the border to help with this problem? If these were German kids or Irish kids or Canadian kids, makes no difference as they are here illegally and unless I have been living in a cave---there are laws against this. No, its not much the displeasure with the kids but displeasure with our government permitting this to happen. I know how difficult it is to turn people away. They have to understand that we have the right to make our laws and we the right to see that they are enforced. Sorry for the rant but Grand Paw would be up set. The gate has been left open.

Grand Paw is sitting in the big white house on the hill. Go ask him about the gate.

Why is Mexico not taking care of it's own people?

Why should they when we will do it for them.............

we need to spend less money and time trying to take care of these kids and more money and time trying to work with their countries to get them back home with their own parents. I truly believe the best thing the US government can do for them is return them to their country. I'm sure it's not as easy as I may think but it has to be easier than trying to rear 100's of thousands of orphan children.

Connie, They could put these kids on air planes and send them back to their country. If we can fly politicos all over the place, why can't we do this with the kids. Might even borrow the Presidents plane. We need to put the bite back on each country and let them take care of the kids. But see, it takes guts to take action and we don't seem to have that anymore.

I think the only solution to this problem is for us to become a third world country.

Grand Obummer knows exactly what is going on and the big answer to WHY. It has been orchestrated directly from the White House and the WHY will reveal itself. Use your imagination or "common sense" what and why this is happening. Flooding the borders with "innocents" has an ulterior motive behind it, you think?

Is Obama on the other side pushing them in or on this side letting them in?
