I'm normally a booster for Peggy Noonan's Wall Street Journal columns, she is often incisive and eloquent. "Often," yes, always, no. Today is one of her loser columns.
Peggy writes about the crisis represented by children coming to the U.S. from Central America hoping to get us to care for them. She points out that the President is doing nothing, and avoiding the issue as much as he can. We already knew that.
What she doesn't have, indeed nobody seems to, is a reasonable solution that a nation like ours can lawfully and humanely undertake. If it were up to me, I'd charter planes, fly them back to the capital of whatever Central American country they came from, and turn them over to their governments to care for.
Except that isn't a possible solution in our 50-50 system, where the Democratic party believes it stands to gain from illegal aliens remaining here. So ... we do very little, stand and wring our hands.
Watching U.S. impotence unfold, it isn't clear our dysfunctional country deserves to continue. This thought I'm sure has occurred to the Chinese, Vlad Putin, and various jihadis.
