You didn't say what I think you said...

I wish there was a website that had all the countries of Latin America on it, and you could just click on them and see a nice concise explanation for how the US hosed it up and why so many flee from there. I'm sure there are numerous books on the subject, but you can't really realistically expect people to read a bunch of books when you bring it up in a discussion. A simple sourced link would be amazing. I think a singular source like that going viral could really change the conversation on immigration, considering I pretty much never hear anyone bring up US involvement in Latin American politics when the topic brought up (outside of someone desperately trying to sum up huge amounts of info in a few sentences off the top of their heads).

That website would be so large and so absolutely convolutedly intermeshed that horrific screw-ups in code would result and it would automatically crash your browser, fry your motherboard and feces would spray from the headphones jack. People really have no idea how responsible the U.S. is for almost every conflict and problem in that part of the world. Literally the root of all evil.

My question is how in the holy hell is Fox News going to fit this into their 'Obama does everything wrong always' and 'we really, really hate immigrants' storylines? We're going to get a Scanners-llike implosion from the cognitive dissonance.

Easily, he's not taking all of them and he should have done it sooner.

Ah, there you go. I just really wanted to hear Fox actually say Obama was doing something good or see them take up the mantle of the poor, oppressed immigrants. Either would have been hilarious.

So, why can't we let them all stay? They're all running from something that's probably going to kill them and deserve shelter. Sometimes when that happens you have to get out and get out fast and documentation is impossible. We have the room, so why not the U.S.?

So, why can't we send them all back where they came from? They came here with no documentation or intention of doing so legally and for all we know the very people who are causing the situations down there are among the people running. So get them out of the U.S.?
