Yes, they are. Trafficking children across international borders illegally is smuggling.

Yes, and the sentiment that so proudly was once displayed, is now disavowed. What a bunch of humanitarians!

I'm all for that. They would probably stop thumbing their noses at the law. As it is, they just pay the fine, not a big deal.

People seem to have forgot.

How have we forgotten when we still allow in 1 million legal immigrants a year and allow in many refugees also? You fail to understand that a poem doesn't negate our immigration laws nor are we sparsely population in need of nation builders like we did hundreds of year ago. Times change and we have had to change our policies to reflect today not yesterday.

I looked, but do not see that part of a poem anywhere in US rules and regulations.

Do you think poems are policy?

A poem on a plaque doesn't equate to law and has nothing to do with our country and its resources today.

Bull. We're not even enforcing the laws we have on employers of illegals.



Again, if we are choosing to spend more money to do this-its on us.


Really in just the couple days since announced? Your number is bull poo.

We have seen a decrease in crossings due to a better economy south of us (heck they even have universal healthcare now). More people are leaving then are arriving-and that has been true since Obamas presidency!

Trying to justify the unjustifiable. Nice.

America-Our country is so cruel it traumatizes children to punish adults who have not been convicted of a crime, but hey look at this made up statistic to justify it!
