Enjoyed the local ABC affiliates' twist in their report last night about all these "child refugees" ... the spin is in, folks.

I was just picking at you, I understand your point. Everyone in the state may complain, while Lawton welcomes the money. Back in the 70s Lawton was a nasty stripmall military town, pawnshops, stripclubs, prostitution, anything you wanted on second street, and bars everywhere. We are finally improving as a city, Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission (BRAC) looks at everything a community has to offer. We do not need fast money that may hurt the city, down the road.

I agree, 100 percent with you. Why does it seem like everytime I turn on my TV I have to see 2 guys kissing? I really think our nation has jumped the shark.

Not defending Ltown ,youRe probably right on that , but that statement could pretty well describe our whole entire ...Government...Ehh

This may not be a popular opinion, but I kinda feel bad for these kids. From their homes, to their local government, to our borders, and our own government, these kids are dealing with failed leadership. Minors rarely make decisions to move internationally on their own, and usually don't even have a clue how to do it. Now are leaders don't have a clue what to do with them, since we have so much bureaucratic red tape binding our hands. Yes, the simple answer is to send them back home, but because we've overgrown our government, it's not that simple.

I feel for the kids. I'm thinking about them putting 600+ kids "in an undisclosed three-story, 200,000 square foot building with a history of housing soldiers". Hmmm, 600+ kids 13-17 years old, coming from multiple countries and regions, with minimal supervision other than keeping them in one place. Nah, surely there won't be any violence or sexual assault! What could possibly go wrong?

Another great point. Just takes one bad seed to put together a gang of kids who bully the rest. This is a bad situation all around.

We have done this sort of thing before with Indian children. The outcome was a group of people without a culture. We destroyed Africans culture, and now complain about the gangs, crimes, and drugs in their society.
These kids would be better off to send them back home; their countries have systems for orphans.
Just because they may all speak spanish and have brown skin does not mean they share a common culture, does our government really have any business raising kids?

 

[Raoul Duke]

Maybe the Oklahoma Militia or the Minutemen are available to patrol around the base to secure our civilian borders and to capture/detain any escaped(released?) illegal aliens from trespassing into our communities?

This could get interesting quick.

I feel bad for the kids too as they are just pawns in the immigration issue. I don't have the exact numbers, as its late and I don't have the gumption to look them up,but its like two to three times the kids coming across the border this year before the last.

Its a plant to make sure their parents get a pass to get them and disappear?

Would love to adopt a couple of these unwanted kids at our own expense, but am sure the Gov. won't let that happen...
