The politics of this will be interesting. It is shaping up to be THE issue in the 2018 elections. I'm okay with that. Trump didn't create this problem, and the American people do not want open borders, which is the solution that the left is doubling down on. Trump has taken a beating for weeks in the press over this, and it has barely moved any numbers. Obama created this problem, and Trump is trying to fix it. You can't leave perverse incentives in place for people to drag their kids into this kind of dangerous trip. Separating kids from parents is awful, but the way to fix it is not to cave into the pressure, but remove the incentives. They are bringing them for a reason. There are really only 2 solutions being proposed right now. Open borders and chaos, or border control and the rule of law. We'll see which one the people want. My money is on the later. All in all, you guys are making a pretty good argument for a wall.
And we need to exert maximum pressure on Mexico to quit allowing Central Americans free passage to our border. I'm sure Canada wouldn't appreciate it if we were just dumping every illegal at their border, and inviting them to go on in.
