The US destabilized these countries that people are coming from now for our own purposes.  NOW you think we should mind our own business and no longer let people go through the legal process of applying for amnesty?

Typical GOP.  It all comes down to race, doesn't it.  [/quote]

ok . . .

So here's a response to your simplistic post.

I am not responsible for the sins of the father. But, I never rubber stamped any of those measures either.  So while this country interfered, at what point do we shut down the past and move on?

We have our own problems here.  We talk about gang warfare in El Salvador. What about our inner cities?  ever teach in an urban school, folks?  It's pretty ugly on many days . . .

But yeah - let's blame the GOP and keep enabling people to break laws.

You added exactly zero to the conversation.  We disrupted the countries. And we (through our massive outsized contributions to global warming) have disrupted and are continuing to disrupt other countries.  Global migration because of climate change is happening now and it will only get worse.  These sins are yours and mine. They aren't our parents'.  [/quote]

Np. I actually agree with you but I hesitate to equate contributing to global warming with genuine exploitation that was done years ago... But let's just say that it is the fault of the US that other countries are in such bad shape. We simply don't have the capability to save everyone. It's just the way the world works. It doesn't make it fair or make it morally right, and no, it doesn't mean you stop trying to do what you can, but when are we going to be able to have a realistic conversation? I'm a democrat but I get really frustrated that it seems like so many of these debates don't ever get anywhere because we want to pretend like we should stop at nothing to right our wrongs. We HAVE to stop somewhere, because we don't have unlimited resources to help the entire world. [/quote]

We have an amnesty program that was working that didn't involve separating families (and was LESS EXPENSIVE than the camps we have now).   We have DACA and dreamers who should get green cards. It isn't possible to "save the world" but these decisions to hurt these people are not because of anything to do with money or making the US safe or ANYTIHNG - they are about racism.  There is a white supremacist in the white house. There is a white nationalist crafting the policies the WH is putting out and choosing judges.  This is a mess and it all comes back to racism.
