What will get me is

What will get me is when it comes out that this thing will cost us (I'm guessing) $75,000 - $100,000 per kid to house and process them.
I can see the need for compassion, but that seems to be how the guv'mint does things.
As for these kids fleeing violence and applying for asylum: why now? Has there been a flare-up of violence throughout CA just this month? And if so, why hasn't that been in the news? If it's the same violence that's been there all along for years, why weren't these kids coming last year? Something about that storyline doesn't smell right.
Where is the message coming from?

All of these kids and other aspirants are being told that the gates are open to immigration if you make it across border.
This seems new. Cynic that I am, I wouldn't doubt right wing conspiracy driving this to undermine Obama.
(And I could see a similar thing happening from the left to undermine a Republican prez, so spare me the partisan nonsense!)
i admit I haven't followed this issue deeply. Where's this message coming from?

"Nortenos" used a young mother as a human shield after kidnapping her. The border states are turning into Mad Max with gang members importing social ills from Central America.This is like taking your little kid's toys and clothes and giving them all away to the poor. Well intentioned perhaps but really stupid, naive and unproductive.
So the "right-wing conspiracy

So the "right-wing conspiracy" has obviously taken hold of Patrick and forced him to make the offer to take these people in to undermine Obama as well?
