"invaders!"

Why not offer a meal, you racist? Make them your guests.[/quote]

I have hosted undocumented families and also been a guest. Have you?

The one time eh? So you can use it as PROOF on a dcum thread.[/quote]

No. We are family friends. They’ve only been in this area once. We’ve shared several meals together there though. They are very generous and hospitality hosts.

And you?

Which country do they have more in common with culturally, Mexico or the US?  If they are looking for asylum, in Mexico their children could immediately have school continuity in their L1 language, and they could most likely find work in the same field (unlike Uber drivers here who were doctors in home country). What's going to happen in America is the parents will work manual labor, the family will be susceptible to obesity from junk food and not matriculating from school (where it will take years for the kids to catch up in basic literacy and then English), the gangs and television will be waiting here to raise the kids while the parents work all day. The 2nd/3rd generation might do better, which is really an economic migration story--not asylum. If you really care about the well being of the families whose images you've shared you would support encouraging these families to stay in their own countries and contribute to a better future, or seek "asylum" in Mexico with cultural assimilation, or come here as legal seasonal workers, or have their families here legally sponsor them. If we need to work out new agreements and laws then Congress should get going. But that's the humane approach. Not you hosting one family for a meal in your house. BTW, my family were refugees and relocation took years and years and was devastating to the first generation. This type of migration has a dark side, and people should only undertake it with many supports and if in true and gripping danger--usually from a government agent.[/quote]
