Ask Malia and Sasha.

Remember when Jimmy Carter discussed nuclear proliferation with 13-year-old Amy? Remember when Obama changed his mind on same-sex marriage? He said that Malia and Sacha were responsible for it, because they don't understand why same-sex parents should be treated differently.

"It doesn't make sense to them and frankly, that's the kind of thing that prompts a change in perspective," Mr. Obama said.

Asking kids who don't have a clue seems to run in liberal families. When something doesn't make sense to your child, you don't change your perspective -- you teach your child why it does make sense. I'm sure a lot of children would tell their parents they don't see any sense in going to school. Does that mean the parents should change their perspectives and let them stay home and watch cartoons?

At any rate, Mary Jo Beebe seems to take her child rearing (or should we say parent rearing) cues from the two worst Presidents in this century. She asked her 8-year-old granddaughter for advice on what the country should do about all the illegal kids. Her granddaughter says the adults in our country should help them.

And Mary Jo seems to have ended the conversation there. Perhaps she should have asked the child specifically how the adults should help them. Perhaps she should have asked the child where the money would come from. Perhaps she should have asked the child where we're going to house all these children and who's going to feed them and educate them.

Mary Jo says we must help these children instead of being brutish and uncaring. It is evil, she says, to think that we need to deport them. Will you be home around 10 o'clock in the morning, Mary Jo? We'll be dropping off your dozen between then and noon.

By the way, I did a little Google search on Mary Jo. She's apparently some sort of religious nut akin to a Christian Scientist. That tells you how logical her thinking is.
