It's obvious you don't care, uphold the law at all costs, I just thought I'd let you know.
I'm sure many will say just about anything to get their golden ticket punched to board the Great American Welfare Express.

Then I think of American children who are homeless and wondering where their next meal is going to come from now that school is out or is getting out for the summer. Where is the outrage for them?

The more I read, the more torn I get.

I hear you there! Idk if this is REALLY the case, But It appears that the left and SJW care MORE about refugees and illegals than they do legal immigrants and actual American citizens.

Default Trump administration adopts a border policy previously spurned as inhumane

This isn't zero-intolerance it is zero-inhumanity policy.

I don't like that the US gets stuck footing the bill for every migrant that thinks they should be allowed in ths country. If they come from a violent squalid country, that's too bad, but it's not enough to grant asylum to every person south of the border.

Most of these migrants have no skills and speak no English. California can only use so many fruit pickers and the majority of them will just become a burden on society.

"Deplorable" is too mild a description.
So what should America do? What have YOU done to help those wonderful people?

I am opposed to all immigration controls, but I don't go out and show it - I have too many business interests from all sides. Instead, I just quietly sit back and watch both sides hash it out, but I know it will never change and I thank Pelosi and the rest for keeping my cheap supply of labor coming and will therefore continue to vote Democrat year in and year out.

If I had to pay my employees a so called living wage or pay American workers, I'd quickly have to cut my own personal spending and cut back on my houses, vacations, etc. I also have the extra, added benefit of not having to participate in unemployment and workers' compensation schemes as well as providing other benefits like insurance or 401k. You would not believe how much money I save by hiring undocumented workers and they are great workers, never complaining and not even requiring breaks, since they aren't on the books, OSHA has no idea what's going on.

Don't want your family to be separated? Follow the laws and come here legally, or don't come here at all. Problem solved.

Americans are committed working hard to making America great. Maybe others around the world should take note and work to make their own countries great? Nah, it's too easy to break into someone elses home and steal their wealth!

No sympathy for criminals and parasites.
