You're brother in law is a racist and doesn't know what he is talking about. A brainwashed liberal.

What that should tell everyone is how desperate they are about getting out of the horrid treatment they endure in their own countries. They are not taking a plane from their city to America, they are walking 1000s of miles bringing their families to safety.

Besides America invites immigrants by broadcasting all over the world that there is an American dream. a land of opportunity, huddling masses and all that. No wonder people are fleeing into the USA but when they reach the border they find it was all false hope.

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?

They should not be treated any differently than murderers with young children or bank robbers with young children.

What horrid treatment are you speaking of? Most of those crashing our border illegally were not facing that. They are coming here for economic opportunity on the backs of the American taxpayer/worker. No one has a right to a better life by taking from others what doesn't belong to them and breaking laws to do so.

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.

Most who avoid this question will come back and say no they aren't for illegal immigration but they still want these illegals amnestied because they deserve it and that we need them. Barf.

Criminality is existent in every country on the planet. If desperation in the pursuit of safety was truly guiding their actions then they wouldn't be traversing thousands of miles to reach the United States. Instead they would be seeking the nearest safe country that would take them. If they're in Central America then that's Panama. If it's South America then Paraguay would be their best bet. 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.
