RAW STORY
A Republican official in Iowa urged Americans not to compare child
migrants to their own children but to instead consider them dangerous
threats.
Tamara Scott, a Republican National Committeewoman and state director of Concerned Women for America, made the comments Thursday on her weekly radio show, reported Right Wing Watch.
“When we see these kids, you and I think young kids, we think maybe
12-year-olds, maybe homeschoolers — excuse me, middle-schoolers,” Scott
said.
“But we know back in our revolution, we had 12-year-olds
fighting in our revolution, and for many of these kids, depending on
where they’re coming from, they could be coming from other countries and
be highly trained as warriors who will meet up with their group here
and actually rise up against us as Americans,” she continued.
Scott, who is also a lobbyist for The Family Leader conservative
group, said enticing children to cross the border into the U.S. violated
biblical principles, because doing so encouraged them to break the law.
She didn’t specify any Bible verses that outlined those principles, but Leviticus 19:34
directly contradicts her assertion: “The foreigner residing among you
must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself.”
Her guest, Mary Huls, president of the Clear Lake, Texas, Tea Party,
agreed, saying children – who she could not bring herself to describe as
people – were trained as terrorists in their countries of origin.
“We do know that Hamas and Hezbollah run several training camps in
Venezuela and other South American countries, and they are training
these young – these youths – beginning as early as 8 or 9 years old
through the MS13 gangs,” Huls said. “They are being trained as warriors,
you’re absolutely right.”..............
