Taxpayers Cover Cost of Flying Immigrant Children to Hawaii

HONOLULU—Although 2,500 miles from the continental United States, Hawaii has joined the list of states temporarily housing unaccompanied minors from Central America who have illegally crossed into America through the U.S.-Mexico border.

Who’s paying to transport the minors to Hawaii? You, the taxpayer.

The children found sponsers, it is doubtful older wanderers will, thus deportation is the only option. And tough enforcement of employment law, penalize those who benefit from working illegal immigrants harshly.

Why not send the kids to Israel...learn how not to whine.
