Maine governor bemoans move of eight child immigrants to his state
BOSTON Tue Jul 22, 2014 5:54pm EDT
(Reuters) - Maine Governor Paul LePage blasted the White House on Tuesday for placing in his state eight children who tried to cross the border illegally.
The administration of U.S. President Barack Obama has been struggling to find shelter for the wave of unaccompanied child immigrants from Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras that have been arriving at the Mexican border, which is expected to reach 90,000 people by September.
"It is wrong for the federal government to force a higher burden on the people of Maine to pay for those who come to our country illegally," the Republican governor said in a statement. "We cannot become a state that encourages illegal immigration. We simply cannot afford it."
LePage, known for his combative tone and strained relations with state Democrats, said he had not been informed of the plan to house the children ahead of time. He joins a wave of Republican governors pushing back against the Democratic president on immigration. On Monday, Texas Governor Rick Perry said he would send 1,000 National Guard troops to the border to boost security.
Some Democratic governors, notably Deval Patrick of Massachusetts, have offered to host children at facilities in their states.
and the solution?

Using his verified Twitter account, horror novelist Stephen King singled out the Tea Party for a lecture about Christianity as it pertains to the ongoing crisis at the Mexican border. "Revised Tea Party Gospel," King wrote in one tweet, "'Suffer the little children come unto me. Unless they're undocumented kids from Central America.'"
As of now, though, despite his vast wealth and land holdings, there are no reports of King offering to personally care for or allow any Central American border kids to take refuge in or on his property.

Much easier to be a Christian when the little children aren't in your back yard, isn't it?

Maybe send them back w/o screaming at them, for a start? Or is that too much to ask?

According to Celebrity Detective, King owns a $9 million home in Florida with plenty of adjoining land. As of now there are no reports of King offering any of his 6,817 square foot home or the land as a refuge for Central American border children:
King also owns a sizable home in Maine. As of now there are no reports that King has offered this home as a refuge for Central American border children.
Apparently King's faith centers around the idea that he's somehow superior to those unwilling to do what he's unwilling to do.
Time for Steve to put up or shut up. Tweet, tweet, tweet. Stephen King #put up or shut up. Bet he could house a few dozen more on his Florida hacienda too. So Steve, how many you taking?? Don't let your double barrel mouth overload your single action ass[clown]! :rotf:

That ratio is about to change for Mikey Moore: His soon to be ex-wife is about to leave the senseless Moore with about 1/2 as much cents as he had before. :thatsright:
Not usually a fan of messy, gold-digging divorces, but in this case it couldn't happen to a more deserving sonuvabitch. 'Bout time somebody re-distributed the bastard's wealth for him.

And how many miles, supposedly, are these "children" traveling? Alone? Not buying it.
