[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Or, jut maybe, it shows how precarious their home country situation is, and how desperate they are to leave, you know, the way your grandparents or great grandparents where when they came to the US?[/quote]

And there's nothing anyone wants to do to help their home countries deal with the problems, so as to make them more safe and stable so that there would be less people fleeing.  The refugees showing up at our border are a symptom, but instead they are treated as the disease, and that approach will never solve anything, because people desperate to flee will continue to do so.  It's like there's broken glass on your kitchen floor and you're complaining about how many band-aids you've used and how you need shoes with thicker soles instead of even giving any consideration to sweeping the glass up.  Instead we should be looking to help those countries.  But we don't even want to, because they are "shitholes" not worthy of further consideration, per brilliant Trump foreign policy.[/quote]

Uhh did you 2 forget about mexico who wanted to give them residency? They also had the option to travel to closer countries which are just as safe. We have central americas gangs in the US too but then again we also have the almighthy dollar that attracts them. So its greed bringing them here plain and simple.[/quote]
Many are resettling in Mexico, but Mexico has even less ability to absorb immigrants than we do.

If we were going to be smart.about this, we'd help Central American police forces and their economies so people will want to stay.  It really is a mess there.  As long as things are awful there and they can get a job here, they will keep coming, wall or no wall.[/quote]

Our country has *trained* their police forces - and still they are unable to eradicate their gangs.  And this is our fault?  Nope.[/quote]
Agree. They have no motive to reduce their source of "dirty money" riches.

We can't change what's that ingrained.[/quote]
