The one thing I know for certain, is that the only thing truly worth fighting for... is innocence. If we can not take care of these kids - and I don't care how many cross that border. If we can not find a way to take care of them, then we as a country have fallen.

You want the middle class back? Well they just showed up, and half of you want them to leave.
Immigration never worked out very well for the people that were already there, NEVER in HISTORY.

Well, heck, I want ALL parents to take responsibility for their kids not just the illegals. Doesn't mean it is going to happen.
Out of curiosity, what would you like to have happen to these kids realistically?

To be returned to their parents, as the parents are the sole responsible party for under-aged persons.
Are you for denying of reuniting children with their parents???

I think in a perfect world where all kids have Moms and Dads who love them... that's great. What makes you think they have parents to go home to?

These kids are primarily from Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador. Do you know what that area is like right now?

Especially for kids. Some of these kids came looking for a parent or relative because the parent responsible for them died and they have no where else to go. They came for help.

Don't you want to help kids in need?

As for their government assuming responsibility... they do not have a stable government in those areas that can take care of anything.
