Most of these kids are from Central America, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador 
which have been turned into libertarian hellholes by the neocons, the free 
marketers and their allies the Narcotraficantes (no law, no order, merely 
survival of the baddest and richest..the kind of Randian Paradise dickheads 
like Rand Paul want to bring to Amurrica(fuckyeah). 

Wrought by our own goddamn policies, our insatiable appetite for drugs and the 
long and glorious history of Amurrica (fuckyeah) deciding we know what's better 
for their countries than they do and installing tyrants to keep 'em down on the 
banana farms.

These aren't poor kids coming north to find jobs and a way out of poverty, 
these are middle class kids being sent north by their parents to escape the 
pervasive violence wrought by our insane WarOnDrugs.

Somehow the rumor got around that if the kids were in the US at some point in 
the near future they would be allowed to apply for residency. Probably from all 
the wastes of human skin like Rush Gasbag, Bill O'Liely and Sean 'too 
chickenshit to be waterboarded' Hannity screaming and wailing about 'amnesty'.

Scared parents + vulnerable kids + rumors of a better, safer life == border 
crisis.

Then the white supremacists of our Modern GOP got involved, like that complete 
and utter shit stain Sheriff Babeau who put out the "warning" that some of 
these kids were going here to be processed. 

This brought out the local Klan wannabees to bravely scream at scared kids, 
along with shambling morons like that congressional candidate.

Local Klan wannabees whose great grandparents probably passed this a certain 
statue in New York...

"Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Some restrictions apply, void where GOP holds sway, may not apply if skin is 
darker than a whiter shade of pale, plus she is a socialist French bitch 
anyway. :-(

(Lady Liberty, not Emma Lazarus, that is)

I liked it better when Bill Murray said it:

"Cut it out! Cut it out! Cut it out! The hell's the matter with you? Stupid! 
We're all very different people. We're not Watusi. We're not Spartans. We're 
Americans, with a capital 'A', huh? You know what that means? Do ya? That means 
that our forefathers were kicked out of every decent country in the world. We 
are the wretched refuse."

THIS is the America that I hold in my heart, the one that's 'exceptional', and 
great.

Not that Lee Greenwood-freedom fries-USA! USA! USA!-'support the troops' magnet 
because that's the LEAST they could do rabble that passes for Faux Patriotism 
these days.

These despicable crackers have long ago forgotten what it means to be an 
American. 

Fuck 'em. Fuck them and the horse they rode in on. Fuck 'em long and hard with 
a rusty pitchfork.

(and Jim said it 
better...<http://www.stonekettle.com/2014/07/mother-of-exiles.html>)
