I don't know what to title this post about Child Immigrants

First, watch this video.

Second, let's take a look at all the nonsense O'Reilly mentions in his . . . commentary.

We can't absorb all the world's children.
Why O'Reilly had to bring up Haiti's and Brazil's children is beyond me. The issue here isn't those children, who are not coming in droves. So, there's no need to absorb them. His verb, absorb, is weird. Why he would think that someone wants to be absorbed baffles me. No one wants to be absorbed--they want to survive. Either way, if children are in trouble, wouldn't it be a good thing to take them in and help them? Wouldn't we rather protect them here?

Every child in Sub-Saharan Africa...
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

It would be cheaper to activate the National Guard
For the record, Rick Perry did activate the National Guard. O'Reilly's assessment couldn't be further from the truth. To wit, in an article published July 21 on the Texas Tribune, the cost of the 1,000 National Guard troops along with other security is estimated at $17 million a week. Yikes.

The US and Mexico closing their borders will solve the problem of the children being put in danger
No, they're running away from danger. Sending them back will actually put them in danger.

What Jorge Ramos proved by crossing the river himself was how dangerous it was crossing the river . . . not detailing that several countries have to be crossed too, the river being the last hurdle to jump. At that point, a river or a fence isn't going to discourage anyone.

The point is this. The danger the children are fleeing is so large that they would rather cross several countries, borders, gang wars and rivers and fences. The journey's danger is seemed as a risk worth taking.

Closing the border or sending troops won't stop anyone, especially because children actually seek out those in uniform once they're across.

I know I'm only hammering away at an already-dead turkey here. You can Youtube search O'Reilly and what you'll find is clueless posts backing him and hilarious satires, especially from Colbert and Jon Stewart.

What I want to get at is the fact that someone kept silent all this hullabaloo when it first started. The GOP only started to point fingers when there were already over 50,000 children across the border. Deporting children is not only immoral, but a direct violation of articles 1, 2, 3, 9, 13, 14, 25 and 30 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
