[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The stories are truly heartbreaking, and I want everyone portrayed in the series to be able to stay. However, the series really points out how flawed the immigration system is when reading about what happened afterwards.

While watching the story about Luis, Kenia, and Noah I kept thinking about Noah's biological father and if he had any say in his son being taken out of Honduras. He has what I would assume to be a stable job in Honduras in the military. Then, while Kenia and Noah are deported they immediately return and claim asulym. [b]Kenia has her baby in the US, so her medical bills were covered and the baby is now a US citizen.[/b] This is why so many people are upset and vote for Trump. She had her day in court and was deported. Yet she easily came back, entered the country, and had a baby here. [/quote]

I don't buy the "medical bills were covered (by US citizens)" argument. How many billions of dollars are spent to operate the processing and deporting of many harmless people? What about those expensive costs, that could be used for many other beneficial needs?

And those children are no less worthy citizens than you and I, just by our good fortune of being born here. You didn't do anything special - and neither did I.

I am aware that we as a country cannot house every person wanting to come - it's unsustainable and unrealistic. But don't pretend to be concerned under the BS guise of a financial burden to citizens. The fact is, we citizens benefit tremendously by cheap (illegal/undocumented) labor. It saves us a lot of money.

If you (and Trump voters) were really truly concerned, they'd be going after the wealthy businessmen who employ cheap undocumented labor, and prosecuting/fining them in a very big way - which would include Trump himself.

It's a lot like going after women who prostitute, but not the pimps or the men who drive the business. Going after the desperate is just illogical. [/quote]
