    Out of the frying pan into the fire springs to mind. From abject poverty to basic poverty, got to be a good move for the Syrians.

    I am disappointed that the opposition were so partisan over what is a humanitarian effort and probably the only good think “No Money Pepe” has done during all his tenure as El Presidente.

    I will be helping to pay for their welfare and money well spent too, unlike keeping 6000,000 government “workers” on the tit just to vote Broad Fraud.

    Pity he buckled under Obuma over the raghead scum.

    I, too, agree that taking in these Syrian children is the decent thing to do. I'm disappointed by Golfcronie's levity; perhaps he'd like to rethink and apologise.
    Many Uruguayan children are poor, and more must be done for them. The left has done nothing except give their parents handouts which in many cases seem not to be spent on the children. The government controls are a joke.

    The kids are already messed up physiologically sent off to live on the benefit off a foreign state away from their parents and relatives. Don’t make a habit of this like the Europeans did and look how bad and irreversible things turned out.

    Always these things start with a good intentions melodramatic idealism and political correctness instead of looking at the facts.
