No one knows just how many tens of thousands of Central American nationals -- most of them desperate, unescorted children and teens -- are streaming across America's southern border. Yet this phenomenon offers us a proverbial teachable moment about the paradoxes and hypocrisies of Latin American immigration to the U.S. For all the pop romance in Latin America associated with Venezuela, Nicaragua and Cuba, few Latinos prefer to immigrate to such communist utopias or to socialist spins-offs like Argentina, Bolivia, Ecuador or Peru. Instead, hundreds of thousands of poor people continue to risk danger to enter democratic, free-market America, which...

No point was made. The reason those children are leaving and coming here is because the crime situations from where they came from are so bad.

I'm sure you believe that is true...

So you mutts think there is no point to the article?

I am not an admirer of the big I's factless if I believe it to be true it must be true style but he has a point here.

The article nicely points out that pretty much every group from the koch bothers to the catholic church plays the immigration card for self interest while actually encouraging illegal immigration and actively working against immigration reform that would be effective. Simply put anyone caught hiring an illegal in jail and give them a big fine there would be no illegals in a very short time.

Bob was closer in his reading comprehension but the point was how hypocritical the liberals are regarding the children amassing on the border. No where in the article were the Koch brothers or the Catholic church mentioned.

"Although liberal families' incomes average 6 percent higher than those of conservative families, conservative-headed households give, on average, 30 percent more to charity than the average liberal-headed household ($1,600 per year vs. $1,227).

-- Conservatives also donate more time and give more blood."

Where VDH states:

"Instead, hundreds of thousands of poor people continue to risk danger to enter democratic, free-market America, which they have often been taught back home is the source of their misery. They either believe that America's supposedly inadequate social safety net is far better than the one back home, or that its purportedly cruel free market gives them more opportunities than anywhere in Latin America -- or both."

He further indicates the hypocrisy of the libs. An illustration of don't listen to what they say but look at what they do.

Also he made the point in the title.

Hypocrites Take a Selfish Stance on Border Crisis

Never said it was in the article. So with your superior reading comprehension how did you miss the paragraphs about corporate hypocrisy or this part.

What a strange, selfish and callous alliance of rich corporate grandees, cynical left-wing politicians and ethnic chauvinists who have conspired to erode U.S. law for their own narrow interests, all the while smearing those who object as xenophobes, racists and nativists.

I wonder who those CEOs of Silicon Valley and Wall Street who want cheap labor rich corporate grandees the article talks about (the part you missed) are? Must be liberals, there has never been a conservative ceo. Everyone knows that.

When the only tool you own is a hammer everything looks like a nail. But thanks for playing, everyone always appreciates you as a source of amusement.

I'm sorry, were does it say liberal hypocrites take a selfish stance on the boarder crises?

CEOs of Silicon Valley and Wall Street

Generally the CEO's of Silicon Valley are Libs, Wall st CEO's receive more corporate welfare than anyone.

In the title. Also where he talks about Pelosi and liberal protesters using bigotry and special interests and agencies deciding not to enforce the immigration laws also liberals who talk about immigration reform yet do not offer to help these children.

As opposed to this story on Glenn Beck and what he is doing:

"We're going to fill some tractor-trailers with food, with water," he said. "The churches have asked us if we could bring teddy bears and soccer balls, so we've loaded up a whole tractor-trailer of nothing but teddy bears and soccer balls. And then I'm going to go serve breakfast and lunch; and I'm going to help unload these trucks, hot meals for 3,000. That's what we're doing," he added before encouraging people make donations at MercuryOne.org.

Good point, I didn't realize I had done that, the two words are so similiar.
