"FEDS RETREAT AFTER MARYLAND RESIDENTS FIGHT PLAN TO DUMP ILLEGALS

Protests from local elected officials in Maryland this weekend forced the Health and Human Services Department (HHS) to cancel its plans to send illegal immigrant children to an Army Reserve center in Westminster, which is about 35 miles from Baltimore.

Maryland Democrat Gov. Martin O'Malley said illegal immigrant children flooding across the border should be considered "refugees" and all be given asylum status, but after Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD) publicized the federal government's last-minute plans to sneak illegal immigrant children into Maryland, there was considerable blowback. HHS backed off, citing things like insufficient access to drinking water at the facility.

In a Monday appearance on WBAL radio in Baltimore, Harris said he found out late Thursday evening about the Obama administration's plans and "hit the ground running on Friday morning" to stop it from happening.

"We have to send a very clear message to HHS that this is crazy," Harris said.

Harris also acknowledged that until the message gets sent clearly that illegal immigrant children will not be given amnesty or be allowed to remain in the country for years, billions of dollars in more government spending will not solve what he called an "emergency" at the border.

Protestors in Murrieta, California have been turning back bus after bus of illegal immigrant children, some of whom had scabies. And protesters will organize Tuesday in Oracle, Arizona to try to prevent the federal government from dumping illegal immigrants in their blue-collar community.

“These unaccompanied minors who have entered our nation illegally must not be brought to Carroll County, Maryland. Flying them to Maryland only to turn around and fly them back home is nonsensical," Harris said last week. "Should this Administration attempt to put them in Carroll County, I will use every tool at my disposal though the appropriations process to stop this.”

He said "Obama should immediately return them to their nation of origin" and fix the problem he created....."

So deportation is one part of the process but we also need to play hardball with these governments (and we CAN because they are the beneficiaries of millions in aid and other largesse)

As liberals like to say-

this is a nuanced situation

Not to mention that pesky 2008 law.


We've help make a mess in CA, and simply saying NO won't do. We have a shared responsibility for this - we've been meddling/controlling/overthrowing governments down there for almost 200 years.

We haven't been enforcing immigration law for the past 14 years, why start now?

BTW, I guess all the foreign infrastructure we've built, financial aid, food, education and durable goods the U.S. has globally distributed the past 200 years must have slipped your mind, Dback.

You seem to forget that deportations are up, way up.

You seem to have this pathological problem, like many on the right that not being 100% rah-rah means that I hate America - I love it more than most, and definitely more than most right-wingers, who fail to understand why America was founded (by liberals, over the opposition of conservatives, I might add).


You fail to understand as well, or simply choose to ignore, what we have done to Central America - you wet dream Reagan did a lot of damage down there.

Again, why aren't we enforcing our laws? Send these kids back to their countries. I know, those countries wouldn't accept them and/or would be pissed that they have to. Well fuck that. They've sucked from the teets of the American taxpayers long enough. It's time for some ROI. Take back your kids. If you want to come to America, go through the legal channels.

Wrong. Deportations are down. Way down. Obama changed the definition to included "returns", not included by past presidents.

Can we get a breakdown of deportation and returns? Omalley did the same thing with murders when he was mayor of Baltimore. At Towson one of my geography books was titled How to Lie with Maps. Same applies to statistics.
