Political Quotes

On the recordJuly 8, 2014
Last week, the Spartanburg Herald-Journal published an editorial from the Colorado Springs Gazette titled: ``Immigration Crisis: Securing Border is Key to Stemming Flow of Children.'' Extraordinary points are made in the editorial: Failure to secure the southern border, combined with careless messaging by President Barack Obama, has made the United States an attractive nuisance. The fiasco at the southern border is far more than a political dilemma. Obama needs to get this under control, letting Latin Americans know in no uncertain terms that the United States cannot and will not host unattended children who illegally cross the border. We cannot continue putting these youths in danger, and we can't afford to resolve their collective plight. The lives of helpless children rest in the balance. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism. ____________________
