Cloward-Piven Strategy on the Border?

++Glenn Beck is at it again. House Republicans and the rightblogs are going ape shit over the influx of Central American kids--yes, grade school kids or younger--flooding out borders. Darryl Issa wants all the Dream eligible children deported by President Obama. The kids, of course, were encouraged by President Obama and the immigration services knew these thousands were on the way. This would be a way to force immigration reform. Another plot by President Obama against America. Did I mention that President Obama is unAmerican, the first such President in our history. He's also black.

++Unfortunately,the latest humanitarian crisis on the border seems to be the death knell for immigration reform until after President Obama leaves office. In saner times, it would lead to emergency actions by the Congress to alleviate this issue. What is the difference between this situation and any of the other world refugee situations? What is it about Americans not being able to deal with humanitarian crises on our borders?

++From a strictly political view,why would anyone who is Hispanic even consider voting for a Republican? While it may be good politics in 2014, even though the majority of Americans want immigration reform,it is disastrous for 2016.

++Unfortunately, it is very unlikely to happen even in 2017. You would have to start from scratch. The Senate bill would no longer be operative and the alignment would be different.
