Billions and billions? That's attracting flies too. Illegal immigration is bad and money, effort and lives are wasted on dealing with it. The individuals who do it are not hardened criminals with a plan to extort money from us, however. They're by and large decent people and hard workers. If anyone sees a real windfall from all the expenditures that can be linked to illegal immigration, it's the tomato farmers and contractors.

I have a question....

If conditions in these countries south of the boarder are so terrible and parents are so desperate to get their children out that they resort to putting them in the hands of drug smugglers and coyotes, why do they continue to have children?

But I'm sure those same people would not like people trespassing into their own property and or homes. But hey, in their minds it's ok to disobey our laws and trespass into our country. Bizarre mindsets.

Why do poor people anywhere ever have kids? The economics where they come from, high infant mortality and the lack of access to contraceptives are some reasons. They're very religious people from Catholic countries and the Church encourages lots of kids. And the drive to procreate is a strong one.

More kids=more working hands. The more well off the less kids one has.

So you want to throw kids in jail, just so they can stay with their parents, brilliant.

The american prison system, already full, is now a babysitter for illegal immigrants.

I try to be reasonable and I get this obtuse nonsense (from some other jackwagon too). Illegal immigration is a misdemeanor. It doesn't come with a jail sentence. They're in detention camps, same as the kids, and they should be in the same ones.

LOL, think about it. An American breaks our laws and goes to jail, do their children live with them so they aren't separated, of course not. Liberals only parrot what the liberal media tells them without thinking. They are seriously confused.

The American that breaks the law doesn't go to jail. They just wait for the illegal to return or hire other ones.
