I am not the only one who found Sarah Palin's use of the unaccompanied migrant children to attack President Obama impossible to stomach.

So yesterday I posted a portion of Palin's mocking Facebook post in which she used those poor children being held in Texas and other border states to attack the President and call for his impeachment.

Many of you also expressed your revulsion at her attitude and lack of compassion.

Well you are by no means alone in that.

The Business Insider covered her screed, and the comments ranged from dismissive to downright enraged.

Politicususa also had something to say about her callousness:

As her sanity becomes a fuzzy speck in the rear-view mirror of time, it is frightening that this woman was nominated by a major political party to be vice president. If Sarah Palin leaves the Republican Party, her first stop should be the nearest mental health clinic.

However my favorite take of all came from News Corpse: 

Sadly, Palin’s solution begins with denouncing the President’s allocation of funds to improve conditions for the children. She apparently prefers to let them languish in 90+ degree heat and sleep on concrete floors. She does, however, offer own advice for allocating relief funds saying that 

“The primary expenditure we need to supply in this humanitarian crisis is jet fuel to fly these children back home.” 

This is what Palin regards as a serious response to a humanitarian crisis. Who does she think will greet these kids at the airport in whatever country they came from? And there are thousands of kids from many different countries, so we’d need a fleet of jets with different itineraries. Then, according to Palin’s plan, they would be shoved out of the plane onto the tarmac. Maybe we could save even more money by throwing them out midair with parachutes.

I think that captures Palin's utter lack of humanity quite nicely.

Meanwhile, in the real world, the Obama Administration is mobilizing to do something to ease the suffering of these children and find a place where they can be well cared for while attempts are made to come up with a long term solution.

This according to Buzzfeed: 

The Obama administration plans to move as many as 1,000 unaccompanied minor migrants from Border Patrol facilities in Texas to facilities in Baltimore, Md., and Richmond, Va., in an effort to ease overcrowding and address the growing humanitarian crisis along the border. 

Tens of thousands of Central American children, many under the age of 10, have begun flooding across the border and into cramped, overcrowded holding facilities. The White House has directed FEMA to begin working with the Departments of Homeland Security and Health and Human Services to relocate the children. 

DHS has already begun moving children to facilities in Texas and California, and starting Saturday will move them to Ft. Sill in Oklahoma. 

According to a “transportation flow chart” obtained by BuzzFeed, the administration will now begin resettling the children to an Office of Refugee Resettlement facility in Baltimore and to St. Paul’s College in Richmond. Both facilities can accommodate up to 500 beds, according to the document. According to the chart, DHS buses and planes, as well as commercial planes, will be used to transport the children to all facilities.

 Yes this is somewhat more pricey than simply flying over Mexico, or Guatemala, and dropping children like anti-immigration leaflets, but  it is also more in line with how this country treats those that come to this country seeking a better life.

Perhaps there needs to be an addendum added to the bottom of the Statue of Liberty to help Palin, and her Right Wing cohorts, to understand America's attitude toward immigrants.

Give me your tired, your poor, (your children)

Your huddled masses, yearning to breathe free, 

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore, 

 Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, 

I lift my lamp beside the golden door.

There, is that easier to understand you horrible, horrible woman?
