Your point is well taken, but I would ask you to consider our options.
At this point I would ask you what should be done.
What is your understanding of due process of law?
Are not any of these immigrants/refugees entitled to refugee status?
To me, this is a major test of whether or not the US can continue calling itself exceptional.
MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."
So people living on the streets and in tent cities living in the 'richest' Nation in the world are getting what kind of help? Children going to bed hungry in the richest Nation in the world....how rich are they? How rich are the elderly choosing between food and medicine? How 'rich' can we be when we are trillions of dollars in debt?????
As for discrimination, ask the millions of unemployed why jobs are held by illegals instead of them. Ask a citizen why in some cases are they required to speak spanish in their own Country to get a job that has nothing to do with international business or being a translator.
Those that enter illegally are not eligible to process of the law and should be sent back
Also, once again the topic is the recent surge in unaccompanied minors, why are you intent on conflating the issue? Are these children going to "take" some more of those awesome super-low paying jobs?

You mean these kids?
Obama has already said that most will be returned. Are you outraged that it is not soon enough?

It seems that you are just repeating yourself. How many of these recent immigrants/refugees have even had court hearings to miss? I expect a lot more from you. This is pathetic.

Again, you're attempting to conflate two completely distinct issues to inject doubt that these children EVEN EXIST. We're talking about children and you keep showing the same two unsourced pictures of adult males at border control stations. What is this the third time you've posted these?
First time
Second time
If you just keep pretending that we're talking about grown men instead of children, then you don't have to acknowledge your complete lack of compassion?

The "outrage" comes when they don't show up for the court date.
90% of illegals skip immigration court appearances; 135,000 will go missing
4,380 Americans murdered annually by illegal aliens
It seems the "bail" system is broken.
THE FACTS: King claimed he had "extrapolated" his numbers from a study by the General Accounting Office, Congress' nonpartisan investigative arm, that he said showed 28% of inmates in local jails and state and federal prisons were "criminal aliens." What the GAO study actually showed was that 28% of all federal prisoners (federal prisoners make up 12%-17% of the total incarcerated population in the U.S.) were either legal or illegal immigrants. The study did not distinguish between legal and illegal immigrants. It also stated that about 50% of those immigrants were only charged with being in the country illegally, a federal misdemeanor. Just 12% of the total in federal custody were there for murder, rape, robbery or other violent crimes. Regarding the claim of 45,000 Americans murdered by illegal immigrants, FBI statistics show some 85,000 murders from 9/11 to the end of 2006. If the claim by Boyles and others were true, that would mean undocumented immigrants, who make up under 4% of the U.S. population, were responsible for 53% of all murders.
King, a staunch opponent of immigration reform, had said that 'for everyone who is a valedictorian, there’s another hundred out there, they weigh 130 pounds and with calves the size of cantaloupes because they’re hauling 75 pounds of marijuana across the desert.' He refused Sunday to back down from the remark.
Are these children expected to murder many people this year?
