Is Glenn Beck helping or hurting, sending food and supplies to the border . . . we [briefly] debate the issue, here.

  3. I believe Beck is doing a disservice in taking aid to the border. How could he not be seen as supporting de facto amnesty? It is sad, but necessary that we hold a hard line when it comes to border enforcement, and giving this kind of aid is not that. I don't know that kids in Honduras are talking about the freebees coming from Glenn Beck, but I do know they are well aware of the benefits they will receive in coming to America. We simply cannot feed the world or any of its populations.
  4. Keep in mind that Beck is responding to requests of fellow Americans, living at the border, who are stuck or forced, if you will, into housing and feeding these immigrants. They - the immigrants - are at the border for only a few days, but the flow of immigrants is constant and our fellow Americans need our help. Helping our "brothers" and comprehensive immigration policy should never be thought of as being related. I am not a big fan of Beck, but he has done a lot for the conservative movement, and in his partnership with Border Americans who have no choice in all this, I do think he is right, if not righteous.
