Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee On Border Crisis: We Ask Jordan, Turkey To Take Syrian Refugees

[BREITBART] Many of the unaccompanied minors flooding across the border are refugees fleeing violence in their Central American home countries and should be treated as such, according to Texas Republican Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee.
...U.S. Representative-for-life for Texas's 18th congressional district, serving since 1995. The district includes most of inner-city Houston. She noted for her lack of tact and intellect. She is a member of the Democratic Party, and almost its epitome...
"Yes, in some instances these are refugees. And this report indicated that these children are not coming for immigration issues; they're being forcibly displaced. We ask Jordan to take the Syrian refugees, we ask Turkey to take the Syrian refugees, and all over the world there are refugees," she said at a presser Thursday, referring to a report from the United Nations
...an idea whose time has gone...
High Commission for Refugees.

The Texas Democrat argued that much of the influx is due to violence in the unaccompanied minors' Central American home countries and human smugglers who lie about America's policies to get parents to pay for transport northward.

"Under the United Nations agency for refugees it is clear that a part of the analysis is whether or not persons can be returned to these places. It is well documented that there is much violence in Central America [from] where these parents were sending these children," Jackson Lee said, adding that she does not want children returned to those conditions but does want to abide by the law and have the cases adjudicated.

#1 She has a point. If we take all those Christians and give them to the UN to be placed in Jordan and Turkey, ya, what could go wrong. The influx would certainly stop. I'm with ya girl, next is to move all the welfare folks to Israel...

#5 Central American violence? Move them on to appropriate neighborhoods in Chicago and LA, they won't notice the difference.

#6 Send them back to Guatemala, Honduras and Mexico. This is a politician-manufactured crisis. In the meantime send them to Washington D.C. (WH lawn), San Francisco bay area (Nancy Pelosi's home), Illinois Congressman Luis Gutierrez's front yard, and Harry Reid's front yard, should be under consideration as destinations during the interim, until Operation Return-the-Children to Their-Rightful-Homes can be organized. Other people who should be considered to house them also. From the article: "All three want to use Latino immigrants to create a socialist America
Raul Grijalva is, like the President himself, a disciple of Chicago radical Saul Alinsky."

#9 Yes, send them to the Tenderloin District in San Francisco. The place is amok in sympathy and resources and a great place to raise children.
