GOP's proposal to oppose the President's request of 3.7 billion dollars and come up with their own is even more a shame and a sham.. The GOP  seems determined to continue adding to the perception they are anti Latino and begging political trouble. Now they are quibbling over the amount and  proposing   changing  or violating current laws by  advocating putting  refugees  on the next plane back home . . It would  deprive these children  of a process that sorts out who is worthy of asylum,  subjecting some to dangerous conditions at home again,   opening up once again the ability of human traffickers to get away without scrutiny by  destroying any  ability to determine who is a victim .Making any appropriations conditioned  solely on “first securing the borders” does not address the current crisis   where apprehension is not the problem since the crossers just turn themselves in to the border officials.   

This is an update on the prior posting," Border Crisis is a shame."

A version of this appeared  in the www.skyhidailynews.com July 18, 2014.  The impact of GOP policy on their ability to win the Senate is dimming...in part because of the Hispanic vote in Colorado...as the recent NBC/Marist poll shows. http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/first-read/poll-democrats-hang-slight-leads-key-senate-races-n155531
