Anyway, although he only bothered to comment on the title of the article, I imagine Timmay is tickled to death over this happening-- given how he thinks illegal immigration is great and lamented seeing that brief drop in illegal immigration a year or two ago.

I nominate that the name for a group of children be "An Annoyance"

A single child is an annoyance. I don't know that the word captures the implications of 50,000 unaccompanied kids.

Hell, the 6 kids at my house this weekend were bad enough.  One of them got the bright idea to "plant birdseed" in my front flower bed.  Not only did I end up with a gigantic hole in my flower bed, but also birdseed all over the floor of my garage.

That would be called "University of North Carolina"

The future lettuce pickers of America.

Their parents, but not the children.

That's right, the kids work on tobacco farms:

Were they expecting to start growing birds in your flower bed?

My mom grew up on a tobacco farm & she turned out okay.

I was too pissed to ask, but yeah, probably.

I suppose it's better than a tide of children breaking against America

See, how can you be overly upset at that.

We are talking about real problems here ok Shielbh!

Because the birdseed was all over the damned place.  And still is in the corners.

The good news is that all the mice in the neighborhood will eat it now.

Or whatever damned animal wanders in from the woods.  We have squirrels, raccoons, opossum, deer, rabbits, moles, groundhogs, and who knows what else.
