The USA is geographically closer to them than Canada where they would get a much better reception. It's still against the law to cross the border without applying first but they aren't turned away. They are arrested, processed case by case and given a chance depending on the results of their interviews.

By the way does anyone know where those kids in cages are now?
Yeah, I don't think so. Obviously you have not looked at this more than to process "heresay".

Arrested, detained and either tossed back or if additional crimes, locked up and separated from their children.

Many of them come here seeking asylum but their claims are bogus. We invite immigrants here legally not illegally. What part of that don't you get?

As for kids being separated from their parents that was done for good reasons and no, they aren't put in cages.
Poster obviously doesn't know about human trafficking at the border, and how many of those children are not even crossing with their families, and many earning their passage by being a drug mule. Ah, the liberals are so inconsiderate of others, including these children who are being used for profit.

Although that's still thousands of miles if they're travelling from northern South America.

Once they bypassed those aforesaid nations and continuing moving in a different direction then it's made almost evident what their intentions truly are.
Yep, we give the best deal when it comes to freebies. Illegals come for the freebies, while legal immigrants earn their way here in time and have to arrive with a plan and money in their pockets/jobs!

Every darn time a POTUS speaks of citizenship for illegals, the illegal border crossings increase by thousands! If they get citizenship, they won't have to work at all, so we'll still need illegals for those employers who refuse to follow our immigration laws.
