North to Alaska
There seems to be a furor over the surge of some 5,000 Hondurans fleeing “intolerable” conditions in Honduras to claim political asylum in the United States. Since they have declined asylum in Mexico, they are also expecting to be bused through Mexico to the U.S. border. Apparently, this is being worked out for them.
How is it that the refugees have a choice in the matter? If they are truly fleeing for their lives and well-being, how do they get to be picky about which country takes them in?
Consider this solution.
When these buses arrive at a legal point of entry at our border, then let’s immediately load them on our buses and transport them to a legal point of entry on the Canadian border. If Mexico can drop them at our door, then we ought to be able to drop them at Canada’s.

If Canada chooses not to accept them, then they could similarly bus them to a legal point of entry with Alaska, where they might actually be welcome. Alaska could probably find room for 5,000 or so more people, and the refugees would now be in the country of their choice.
What could more possibly be more “win-win?”

Whitaker a partisan jerk
Just so we’re clear, Peter Strzok, a decorated FBI agent who dedicated his life and his career to FBI service and who for years was the head of the counterintelligence division of the FBI, who has caught many and some of the most devious Russian spies in our country, privately expressed his opinion about the election. And he was fired from his post.
Matthew Whitaker, a hyper-partisan jerk whose media firm was sued by the FTC for fraud and whose political organization was a contributing architect of the private server email scandal of Hillary Clinton’s, as well as a feeder of talking points to right-wing media — and who has many times publicly echoed Trump’s words, “no collusion” — and who has advised ways to dismantle the Mueller investigation in a way to get around obstruction of justice, has now been illegally promoted to acting attorney general overseeing said investigation.
