This is an orchestrated event in the fantasy world of politics.
But….It’s for the children…
And… If you do not agree with us, you are a racist
Yawn….
Once again…..narrow minded, mean spirited drivel. Your family migrated here too.
Keep bolstering the inane “US v. THEM” mentality, and watch where it gets you. I’m sure Jesus is very proud of you.
I’m going through this with my family…you reach a certain age, get confused, mix the meds and forget the facts.
FACT: All unaccompanied children coming across must be escorted to be processed according to GEORGE BUSH’S law signed before he left office. That must’ve been his compassionate conservatist side…good for him. That is fact, your opinion is not.
FACT: Obama already has expressed the fact (again, a fact) that most children will have to be sent back home.
FACT: The money Obama requested is to beef up security and for extra processing help. The borders would have more security if congress would have passed a bill Obama put forth many months ago but we all know the FACT is congress doesn’t want anything done about that or anything else. Keep Obamas’ hands tied is what it’s all about.
Finally the most important FACT: Don’t make any cutesy jokes about diaper changing because at a certain age….
Bill,
Your first FACT #1: Did you not read the origination of the law you refer to as “GEORGE BUSH’S law as researched and explained above?
Your FACT #2: While there is fact in that Obama has stated that most(?) will be sent home, history of Obama’s term continually demonstrates that what he states and what actually occurs are polar opposites.
Your FACT #3: Is lacking in detail. How much of the 3.7B is for extra border security? I do not know myself but I am willing to bet that it is mostly for “processing” and little else. Besides, Obama and his employment of executive order has hardly let little ol’ Congress stand in his way. Let alone, tie his hands.
Your FACT #4: Well, really isn’t a fact at all.
All should be sent back!
Where does your family originate?
Here at least some of them I’m part Indian not sure how much
like it matters! calling someone illegal on stolen land is as ridiculous as someone whom claims that they are “part” Indian and tells their brothers and sisters that they need to go back. If only part of you is Indian, then everything else that you are mixed with should also go back to where it came from. Not sure how much, but only the Indian side can stay. HOW RIDICULOUS DOES THAT SOUND. Now here is a ax and a knife. GET BUSY!!
Suzi and Jared said it all.
I’m glad Bill bothered to do his research to find the truth.
Who???
Great the unviable man is now proud of me!!!! The world of make believe yippie,
Obama worshipers can not defend this horrible crisis at the border! Who says they are under 18? Who says the children they bring are there’s ? Who says there aren’t terrorists hiding among them? Who can prove where they are really from? This is a political ploy gone nuts directed by a nut!
Knock it off with the “worshippers”…nobody is worshipping anybody. There’s plenty of video and they’re being processed, unless they’re all midgets, they’re kids. The only nut sounds like you with more hatespeach. Get a grip lady.
Ugh, The “reporters” or “writers” on this site have no journalistic ethics or honor! Unfollowing!!
So why would you take it out on the reporters and writers on this site? It’s clearly labeled “commentary” and says quite plainly that it is an opinion piece by a member of the general public and does not necessarily reflect the opinions of SCVTV or anyone other than the person who wrote it. Same with ALL things marked “commentary.” You’re familiar with newspaper opinion pages, right? Same thing.
Why does every piece written lean to the right and is anti-administration?
Perhaps it would be refreshing to hear opinions that reflected both sides of the coin. It would likely help readers make claims that are well-rounded.
Agreed! We publish everything that’s submitted, regardless of what it says, so if there’s a “side” to an issue you’re not seeing, it’s because nobody has written it.
Ms Betty, you don’t look American Indian to me!! Your an immigrant too
Lisa,
What does an American Indian look like? Can you possibly answer that without coming off as rascist yourself? Besides, most of our and ancestors arrived LEGALLY. How do people like you not understand the difference?
Join Americans for Sergeant Andrew Tahmooressi Day on Friday, July 18, 2014
Every Member of the US Congress, the President and the US Secretary of State have failed to obtain the release of US Marine Sergeant Andrew Tahmooressi from a Mexican prison when his only crime was making a wrong turn at the US/Mexican border over 100 days ago. American Citizens can join together on behalf of Sgt. Tahmooressi on July 18, 2014 by taking these steps:
1. Observe Sergeant Tahmooressi Day on July 18, 2014. Circulate this letter to every American Citizen you know – – relatives, friends, neighbors, coworkers, classmates, everyone. Spread the word now so 300 million Americans will be holding our government employees accountable for Sgt. Tahmooressi’s safe return to USA on Friday, July 18, 2014. Ask them to join all Americans to support the immediate release of Sgt. Tahmooressi from the Mexican prison. Americans can show our incompetent politicians and a corrupt Mexican government that we will fight and win when cowards we have in Washington won’t fight for a US Marine who fought for our Country. Show Mexico that We, the American People, are united in demanding the immediate release of Sgt. Tahmooressi so he is safely returned to the US before sunset on Friday, July 18, 2014.
2. Take the Pledge: I am an American who demands that the Mexican Government immediately returns Sergeant Tahmooressi to the USA. If he is not returned before sunset on July 18, 2014, I will join 300 million American Citizens in boycotting all commerce, products and services of Mexico at the rate of one day for every minute his return is delayed* to the United States. When I shop in food markets, hardware and furniture stores, clothing outlets and the internet, I will check to be sure that no item I purchase came from Mexico. I will not vacation or visit Mexico. I will not employ Mexican workers or enable Mexicans to send American dollars to Mexico. I will not support American companies with factories in Mexico. I will write or call my Congressional Representative and Senators to demand they halt all US foreign aid and assistance to Mexico.
3. Vote for Action: The attached roster of US Senators, Congressmen and Congresswomen have failed to take swift, justified action against Mexico for the imprisonment of SGT Tahmooressi, but they are sending Mexico our American tax dollars in foreign aid. As an American Voter, I pledge that I will vote AGAINST every incumbent US Senator in my State, and AGAINST my current Congressman because they have failed at even the simplest of duties. They work for me, they have failed, and it’s time for them to leave. I will join millions of American voters to send all 535 Members of Congress packing their bags in November for their failure to take action. I will vote for candidates who pledge to immediately halt all foreign aid and assistance to Mexico because Mexico wrongfully imprisons our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines.
*Do the math: If Sgt. Tahmooressi is released 24 hours (1440 minutes) after July 18, that’s nearly 4 years of a united American boycott of all Mexican commerce. The entire, pathetic and corrupt nation of Mexico will be bankrupt when Americans stop buying Mexican products and services.
And ask yourself this: In how many wars did the Mexican Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines join with the US Armed Forces to fight those who attacked the United States? Mexico has no right to accost, imprison and torture any American Serviceman or Servicewomen – – ever!
Please pass this message to everyone you know; leave a stack of copies on your subway, bus or cafeteria; email this message to your friends and relatives. United Americans will free Andrew!
@truth teller (I am only left to believe that the name is ironic) As you have stated “Korean” cars I will make an assumption that you mean Hyundai. If that is the case then how do you know that the cars were not built right here in the good ol’ US of A? http://hyundaiamerica.us/an-american-success-story/u-s-operations/ I owned a Chevrolet Suburban that was assembled in Canada with a transmission from Italy along with many other various parts from outside the country. Buying American isn’t as simple as it used to be. A real “Truth Teller” would know that though, hence why I am left to assume that your moniker is ironic.
You’re misdirected ire comes of with the appearance of you owing her money or that you are repeatedly abused by your spouse. In either, or both cases, I hope you find the help that you need so desperately and in regards to you leaving the republican party, your demeanor and ignorance seem much better suited for the party of liberals. I wish you well on your journey!!!
Good Post Martin! The hatred and stupidity of some people is amazing! Although truth teller does not state that they own “American” cars, let alone always purchase American products, he (she) certainly represents that in his (her) post. I bet they do not have “American” cars either.
Really “truth” teller? Yawn…
what a complete dolt…..are you trying to tell me that all the money made by “american” companies stays in America and that all foreign company profits leave America? Wow…your bitterness and false moniker is only exceeded by your depth of ignorance. You should really save yourself the embarrassment of commenting further. That’s my PSA for the day.
“truth” (hahahaha) teller, for your family and what few friends you may have, if any at all, I am embarrassed that they are associated with you. I feel so sorry for them. I bet that you are a person of constant conflict and rarely a light to those with the misfortune of crossing your path. You choose to use a moniker instead of your real name which is a sure indication of your self-realized cowardice and insecurity. You lash out at others as a result and fail to truly look within as the real root cause of your never ending conflict. I would wager that you drive a foreign car(s), that your neighbors regret living in your close proximity and that you too attended public school but with no continuing education. You are an angry, bitter person with little to no joy in your life. That is sad. My heart breaks for you as you have chosen this path. You don’t have to continue being a small person and traveling a path to self-destruction and loneliness. The first step is admitting the above. Once you have done this then you can begin the healing process. I will be happy to research individual and/or institutions that can provide you the help you are in such dire need of. Just let me know when you are ready.
Not ready yet I see.
:-( Still so far from being ready.
Bore you enough that you took the time to research who I was? You and your comments are very small. It takes courage to post under your real name. It takes even more courage and effort to do what my mom does. I am very proud to call her my mother and she certainly does not need me to defend her. I have no idea who you are or what your name is and I am confident that you don’t have the character or integrity to reveal that. You may know who my mother is but now everybody knows who your daddy is. I wish you future wellness.
You are obviously embarrassed to reveal your true self as the author of the very small, mean spirited comments above. I would be if I were you too. Until next time!
Join 300 Million Americans for Sergeant Andrew Tahmooressi Day on Friday, July 18, 2014
If you’re reading this, you obviously care about US Marine Sergeant Andrew Tahmooressi, and YOU can help Andy return to the USA. The US Congress, the President and the Secretary of State have failed to obtain the release of US Marine Sergeant Andrew Tahmooressi from a Mexican prison when his only crime was to make a wrong turn at the US/Mexican border over 100 days ago. Join us on behalf of Sgt. Tahmooressi on July 18, 2014 by taking these steps:
1. Observe Sergeant Tahmooressi Day on July 18, 2014. Circulate this letter to every American Citizen you know – – relatives, friends, neighbors, coworkers, classmates, everyone – – use your email, phone and social media to spread the word NOW so 300 million Americans will directly hold Mexico accountable for Sgt. Tahmooressi’s safe return to USA on Friday, July 18, 2014.
2. Take the Pledge: I am an American who demands that the Mexican Government immediately returns Sergeant Tahmooressi to the USA. If he is not returned before sunset on July 18, 2014, I will join 300 million American Citizens in boycotting all commerce, products and services of Mexico.

I will not vacation in or visit Mexico. I will not employ Mexican workers, which will prevent them from sending my dollars to Mexico. I will not support American companies with factories in Mexico.
3. Vote for Action: Because US Senators, Congressmen and Congresswomen have failed to take swift, justified action against Mexico for the imprisonment of SGT Tahmooressi, I pledge that I will VOTE AGAINST every incompetent incumbent US politician in my State, and AGAINST my current Congressman this November because they have failed at even the simplest of duties to have Sgt. Tahmooressi released (they could have halted aid to Mexico the day it happened!).
Politicians are sending Mexico our American tax dollars in foreign aid. They work for us, they have failed, and it’s time for them to leave. I will join millions of American voters to send all 535 Members of Congress packing their bags in November for their failure to take action. I will vote for candidates who pledge to immediately halt all foreign aid and assistance to Mexico because Mexico wrongfully imprisons our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines.
4. I will write or call my Congressional Representative and Senators today to demand they halt all US foreign aid and assistance to Mexico because of Sgt. Tahmooressi’s imprisonment.
Please pass this message to everyone you know; leave a stack of copies on your subway, bus or cafeteria; email this message to your friends and relatives. United Americans will free Andrew!
For those on social media, here’s a <140 character message to help get the word out today: Boycott all Mexican products and services beginning Friday, July 18 until US Marine Sgt Andy Tahmooressi is returned to USA!
Ask everyone to join all Americans for an immediate release of Sgt. Tahmooressi from Mexican prison. Show our incompetent political employees and the corrupt Mexican government that we will fight and win when the cowards we have in DC won't fight for a US Marine who fought for our Country. Tell Mexico that We – the American People – are united in demanding release of Sgt. Tahmooressi so he is safely returned to the US before sunset on Friday, July 18, 2014; we will break your entire miserable country for imprisoning an American hero, Andy Tahmooressi!
