If central America wants us to take their kids, ok then, we'll have to make a deal...
We sterilize the entire population of central America in exchange for taking their kids.
Fair is fair.
There were enigmatic cults in European countries last century who started off with your perspective. One small step towards dehumanizing a population, right? How did that work out?

There is no excuse, no reason, no anything for deporting children from countries that are not from Mexico. USA has an agreement with Mexico for MEXICAN children who are not with parents, but how can anyone ever be OK with children from another country simply being dumped without any family or support system like this.

How has the USA become so callous, so depraved, so unemphatic that this is official government policy now?
Well, if their PARENTS had not sent them across, this wouldn't be a problem

Did you ask your canadian government to open their hearts by accepting children rejected by u.s. government?

I'll even chip in some money for the bus tickets to transport all the children from american southern border to canadian border

I really dont see the issuse.
1 st they can be taken care of much cheaper in mexico.
Next they have much more in common with the people in mexico which is better for the children.
Why is it better to dump them in the US.

People that think like you should just setup a go fund me page for them. Then anyone concerned can donate.

Compassion cannot replace practicality.
Practicality would be for the US to enforce the rules and not let illegals set up life for years. Better a little pain now, than a lot later.

In the current situation, of your country's own doing, compassion should be key in handling the situation. That doesn't mean some won't be sent back, but IMO there should be some sort of legal status given to those who have proven to set up lives...say 10 years.

However we are getting off track here. It's the children without their parents that we are talking about. Compassion should be the first concern.

Otherwise, what are you?

Funny how you bleeding hearts only care about illegal foreigners but nothing for your fellow Americans. And no they weren't "allowed" to work here they just hid their true identities and made the rich, richer by working on the cheap.
Evade or enabled?

Scary isn't it?

We are in a era where some are emboldened, usually hidden behind a keyboard, to express such extreme views.
