Talk to me in English.

I'm all for easing the path to legal citizenship. I'm all for helping people make a better life for themselves - legally. What I am against is breaking the law. You break the law, bad stuff can happen to you and your family.

We have to know WHO IS IN OUR COUNTRY AND WHY. This can take some time. People do it legally all the time. Heck, my daughter in law is Korean and she went through all sorts of legal paperwork to be LEGALLY IN THE US - but she did it and here she is now. Other people need to do it too. We have the systems in place. Deal with the system.

THERE ARE A BUNCH OF PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT BREAK LAWS DAILY..AND THEY DO NOT SPEAK SPANISH,,THEY ARE JUST RACIST~~~~


We have to know WHO IS IN OUR COUNTRY AND WHY LOL STARTING WITH PEOPLE THAT ARE AMERICAN BORN TERRORIST......

AMERICANS ARE THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO HATE TO LEARN OTHER LANGUAGES I WONDER WHY ALL OVER THE WORLD THEY SPEAK MORE THAN ONE LANGUAGE ..I BET YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN IN EUROPE...OR ANYWHERE ASIDE FROM YOUR FRONT PORCH

Again, the alternative is putting them in jail with their parents. How can you support that?

The executive director for the Center for Immigration Studies said that despite the left's claims that migrant centers are in poor condition, most shelters allow better living conditions for immigrants there.
Mark Krikorian said on "Fox & Friends" that the centers for minors are not detention centers, and rather shelters.
"Nobody's detained from leaving. They can just leave. Sometimes they do," he said.
He said that an adult detention center he visited offered better living conditions for those held there.
Haters are talking out both sides of their mouths. They say the families are seeking "asylum" from torture, death, murder, and terror. When they get to the US the government gives the kids very nice living conditions and safety and the haters turn around and call Trump Hitler.

Nursing babies are pulled from their moms -- what kind of person thinks that is very nice living conditions.

I AGREE WITH THIS POSTER 100%%%%%%%%%%%
Child abuse? That abuse was dragging those poor children through how many countries just to get to the USA and seek asylum here. Why not Mexico? The left keeps telling us what a paradise Mexico is except for a few places. We here they have excellent medical care as well. Instead the parents risked their children's lives just to game the system.

Instead of locking up babies in cages in his concentration camps, trump should be locking up employers who hire illegals. That really IS a crime. It would also be far more effective at stemming the flow across the border.

How many miles of hardship did those children suffer so their parents could try to game the system?
If they are asking for asylum they aren't trying to break into the USA.

And they were so afraid for their lives that they risked the travel, the hardship.

They aren't gaming a system.

We don't know why the can't seek or won't seek asylum in Mexico.

But if the USA has a law that ALLOWS them to seek asylum here -- then we have to treat them as human beings, not just one step up from what they have been trying to get out of.
