Let's not pretend they have any clue what they're talking about though. It is interesting that their opinion is ascribed more gravitas than that of Steve Scalise. While the fact that you're eighteen does not render anything you have to say invalid, does anyone really look to eighteen year old's for smart well reasoned policy?
I think my biggest issue with the conversations about these children is that were they saying something different, then the right would be carrying them on their shoulders and the left would be saying they don't know anything. I just think they should be allowed to speak. I personally don't give anyone's opinion much gravitas unless it is backed up with evidence, but I'm a bit different of a person than most in that regard.
