@CharmianNeary@MarshallProj Sad but true, and number has been abt same for years. National figure is 1.2 million, hard to believe. -
@ricfouad@MarshallProj It doesn't seem fair to extend such an effort to teenagers from other countries when our own children go without. -
@CharmianNeary@MarshallProj 1/3 Complex, but start w/ figure: $1.8M=not much when US budget=almost $4T. Real waste figure=$1T on Iraq. -
@ricfouad OK the war costs too much (of course) Corporations evade taxes(of course) but today, right now, should we take in more poor? -
@CharmianNeary Legally req'd by treaty/USlaw in asylum cases.Morally too:never want to return kids to actual danger.WW II:barred kids, died -
@ricfouad how could we ever shelter every kid in the world in actual danger? The world is such a dangerous place. -
@CharmianNeary Vast majority getting nothing from us:infinitesimal number reach US/fleeing danger.That's group getting attys.Very, very few. - 2 more replies
