re: First grader in TX asks for a ball, food and a blanket from Santa

In this country, if a kid is fo u s to be cold or hungry, the adult in charge should be dealt with. There are plenty of government programs, private charities and churches to provide for the needs of our poor.

If the parent is not capable of seeking help then the parent is not capable of raising a kid.

Edinburgh, TX. Is this child even an American citizen to be attending our schools? Not to be a hard arse, but if you sneak across the boarder, or blindly sent your kids to fend for themselves, without a plan, than I don’t feel so bad. The parents should be disciplined for not providing. Sure, the child did not ask for this life, but many have succeeded when put in the same scenario.

Given the fact that Edinburgh is close to the Mexican border and like 80% Hispanic, there is a chance that this kids parents are undocumented.

However, whatever “mistakes” this kid’s parents have made, no kid on American soil should go hungry or sleep in the cold regardless of how they got here.

Tighten up border protection. Build Trump’s wall 50 feet high. Put barbed wire on that sucker if you want. But we really can take care on the kids that are here right now and give them a freaking chance.
