The people down in Central America are listening to the activists - many who are from USA. They pass out all this propaganda stuff.
Parents send their OWN Children by trains - cars to American border by themselves. What kind of parent does this? America has always had borders and I am sorry I do not want total globalization like the elite want. Mexico is keeping their culture and I do not blame them. I was born and raised in the USA as were my parents and their parents. All US Citizens - deceased now but all born in the USA. I am tired of these politicians and I hope people rise up and say NO.
I just read an article about Californians will be fined in 2020 for using too much water so what sense does it make to keep bringing in all these people?
This is also what I have been reading. Many of the kids that are here are here by themselves. No parent or guardian crossed the border with them.
Gah! I hear you on the water crap. Because of lawsuits the city we live in had with one person, our base rates for water/sewer and all that is 108/month. This does not include the price of the actual water itself.

Can you imagine a 2 year old crying for her parents and her "caregivers" cannot touch her, hug her....this is NOT America.
Serious question. In our public schools, school personnel are not suppose to touch or hug kids either. Would you rather a worker in one of those centers get a lawsuit put against them because they didn't hug or touch the kid right? Think about this here.

It's obvious you don't care, uphold the law at all costs, I just thought I'd let you know.
Ok. lol! This is not the case for all of them. Mexico has always been savage. I care, but I respect the law. There is a big difference. If it is THAT bad for them, there are proper channels they can go through. Crossing illegally is not one of them.
Once again, what about the homeless kids here in the states? Where is their free healthcare, free food, and free roof over their heads?

That's how it seems to me also.

I've been asking this and no one can even answer it or they refuse to.
Well, who will work the fields? And, who will work as servants and in low-skilled jobs? We can't use blacks anymore and whites won't do it.
AI is taking the jobs in the fields and many menial low paying jobs. The only jobs the new illegal immigrants are creating are the teaching, social work and prison guards. They are creating jobs that do not produce a product and raise the cost of living - more government jobs.
That is not a solution. It could also lead to other problems, such as putting the kids in the same facilities that may house possible rapists, murderers, etc. Why would anyone want to willingly place a child in that kind of danger?
An asylum seeker does not have to stay in this country while the paperwork for asylum is being processed. Yes, they do run the risk of losing their spot in line if they do not stay. But, if they file for, and receive, Advance Parole then they would not lose their place in line. Perhaps a better solution would be to fast track Advance Parole paperwork. Then let the asylum seekers stay in Mexico while their asylum request is being processed, and not ding them in any way for not being in this country while the asylum request is being processed.
None of this deals with what to do with the kids of those who were caught sneaking into this country illegally. Many of those kids are probably here because of that very reason. What do we do with those kids? Send them to a childrens center in Mexico while their parents are being dealt with here, since you did not seem to like my suggestion of sending them all back as a family?
I have no idea what you are talking about. Regarding your last sentence - I already said keep the families intact and if they are denied asylum deport the entire family so why are you claiming that I said otherwise?
And I am not talking about unaccompanied minors, if you want to talk about that then please start a new thread.
Good on these protestors for using their First Amendment rights to stand up to this un-American government tyranny. This is the real spirit of America.
Why didn't they stand up to this un-American government tyranny when 0bama did it?
Why don't we start 5 more threads on this same topic?
Yes. So this guy below can copy and paste the same exact response a few more times that didn't make much sense the first time he posted it since no one is forcing him to hire illegals.

Thank God the Democrats keep the steady flow of cheap labor coming in.
Yes, I quiver every time I hear Nancy Pelosi and Mad Maxine speak, but this is the cost of democracy. We encourage our citizens to speak their minds, share their beliefs and vote for candidates that best represent their values, beliefs, interests, etc. I still think this system is far better than present day alternatives.
