Again...what about those who care for those kids so much that they don’t want them being given to rapist coyotes to be trafficked across 5 countries with a 50/50 shot of making it here? Why not dissuade that shit from happening to begin with?
Reynolds says border surge is 'not our problem

Oh, is that it? Ok, let’s get right on that. Of course that’s the ultimate problem/solution. No one is denying that. Jeebus. We are at the here and now phase of this shit show. It’s always easier to just kick the can down the road and blame the other party, but the focus right now should be helping those kids. You know, the reason this thread was started.
What about the ones who will continue to come (because they WILL continue to come)? Can’t turn them away, right? Either we let them all in, or set a limit. Which do you want?
We should probably stop sending money and troops to fight other wars until there is world peace.
The American taxpayer is on the hook for the costs! Does it really matter whether it comes from your Iowa taxes or your federal taxes?
You mean the one where they showed young men scaling?
Or the Berlin Wall?
You know the answer to your question, or least you should. Like most things Kimmy does, it doesn't stand the smell test.
Here's hoping you guys don't have another flood. Don't ask the rest of us for help it's 'not our problem."
Cause they're children and this isn't Greece circa 48 BCE?
And he dealt with the problem better than the asshole who took his place...No drama Obama
Some is offset by federal, but not all. Foolish to believe the states wouldn’t be burdened at all. And yes, it does matter if it’s the fed or state paying— not sure if that was a serious question.
There’s still a big difference. Would you rather your local taxes pay for it or state or federal. They aren’t all the same.
When they come out of my paycheck I don't feel better based on who is taking it.
I am “for” occasionally acting in aChristian manner. These are children!
If you aren’t for open borders, how many should we let in? 10,000? 100,000? 1,000,000? At what number should we stop acting in a Christian manner?
You do understand they will be showing up on our border EVERY DAY don’t you? Do we let every child in? Do you want America to become the dumping ground for children? Because that is exactly what will happen. All the unwanted Central American kids will be dropped on our doorstep. Is that what you want?
That is not the issue here. Iowa was asked if we would take in X number and Kim said “No, not our problem.’
50 years ago Bob Ray was asked about taking in “the boat people”...and he yes, “Yes we will and we will welcome them!”
Ray acted as a Christian...Reynolds acted as a Trump Republican. And....you are not even embarrassed!
You conveniently forget the Vietnamese had sponsors to take them. Not the same situation.
If you are really such a great Christian and care so much......take 3-4 of them into your home. Buy them food, clothes, and medical care. If you don’t, then you are a Trump Republican.
No they did not....not until Ray found them. The Tai Doc program was run thru the DOHS by Ray. Don’t be so goddamned obtuse here 83! Quit your bullshit and lies...fess up! You talk the talk...but like most Republican / Conservatives living today, you will not walk the walk.
You are some how hung up on keeping America a secret and white...a few hundred kids being temporarily “housed and cared for’ in Iowa wont hurt a damn thing, and you know it.
So how many are you going to offer to take in? Fess up!
Like most Democrat/Liberals you like to dictate what others should do.....but won’t do yourself. “Different rules for thee than me.”
Oh.....and I am on record saying I support controlled LEGAL immigration. Another lie you have been caught in.
Even at my age (72) my bride abd I just might take in one if the opportunity presents itself. It would be awkward..and we have been empty nesters for 20 years...but honestly, we have discussed the possibility. The truth is 83, if Iowa agreed to take in a few hundred of these immigrants, they would easily be accommodated..as most Iowans are a kinder, gentler, more Christian lot than out Governor. You wouldn’t even know they were here!
You should do some research on what your taxes ACTUALLY pay for.
This whole situation has as much to do with “asylum” as the spending bill does with “infrastructure”
