Unreal.

Via CNS News:

“Republicans want to indiscriminately return children to their deaths!” Rep. Tony Cardenas (D-Calif.) said in remarks on the House floor on Friday, as members of the House of Representatives were forced to delay their August recess to deal with a border appropriations bill.

Cardenas was one of many Democrats who blasted Republicans for wanting to stop the flow of illegal immigrants into the United States.

And in a bit of political theater, the Friday morning debate was interrupted by dozens of Democrats stepping forward in futile attempts to bring up the “comprehensive immigration reform bill” passed by the Senate. Each request to introduce the bill was blocked by Republicans.

In response to Cardenas, Rep. Tom Cole (R-Okla.) noted that President Obama himself has said that most of the children will be returned to Central America. And if they seek refugee status, they can do it at the U.S. Embassies in their home country, without making the dangerous journey from Central America across Mexico into Texas, Cole said.
