I agree with Greg. The immigration problem has been politicized for too long. We go around preaching to the world about human rights but sometimes we ignore them at home. As for Cara Cromwell, there are Democrats and there are Democrats. It has become fashionable to blame Obama among some Democrats. While they are not on the "right" they play into the right's agenda of blaming the President for everything.

Fixing immigration requires courage and unfortunately there is a shortage of courage in Washington not to mention among some of our own politicians. (you know who you are). There is a political agenda of the worse kind which is to scapegoat people who have no power. The most reprehensible kind of scapegoating to mistreat innocent children. I can't tell how disgusted I felt seeing those people surrounding a bus full of kids in order to "send them back." And just to prove the point of how moronic they were it was not even the right bus as it was just local kids going to camp.

We need leadership to solve this question and not more political posturing. I was very proud of George George Will for stepping up to the plate and decry the actions of his own Party. That's leadership and we need more of it.
