Lol... yeah. I remember all those doors flying wide open for me all right! Ah, yes. You have it all figured out!

And for the record I knew exactly what you meant, just wanted you to prove that YOU were the real bigot here.

As far as the Hondurans are concerned maybe 40% can't read or write and have little work ethic. I wish you well Estados Unidos.

The Pope lives in opulence in a sovereign walled city patrolled by armed guards with automatic weapons. Try breaking in there with your kids and see what happens.

Surely they must have room for a few more hypocrites.

How many illegal kids are shacked up in your house right now?

Oh btw, haven't heard of the Vatican taking in any of the Syrians or Palestinian masses illegally entering Italy.

I have no problem with deporting families. Separating very young children from their parents is unusually cruel

The report below contradicts your figure. I’ve overnighted in Tegucigalpa and San Pedro Sula... Of course is was many years ago before they blew the top of the mountain in Tegucigalpa for the faint of heart. Anyway... as I recall... great people... friendly. But like I wrote... my last flight to Honduras was 14 years ago.

I voted for Hillary. And Obama (twice). I don't watch Faux News.

So, you know what "side" I'm coming from.

But our lefties are getting crazy. Seriously. I am pro-immigration but not pro-just-show-up-immigration. It's impossible to cry about 2000 kids when tens of thousands are killed every year in abortions. Yes, I'm pro-abortion, but dude you seriously can't see the hypocrisy here from our side and the media that represents them?

The parents or those crossing with them committed a crime. There is no middle ground here. This is just the next stupid thing the left is trying to rally their base with.

Don't fall for it. Do your own reading and unbiased research.

I would be completely open to reverting the "birthright" clause in the constitution. It's causing a lot of what is happening.

Personally, I love immigrants. IMO the vast majority are better people than our regular citizens. They work harder, they treat people better, they respect others more. My wife and her family came to this country legally.

But first gen immigrants have an issue assimilating in our culture. Too many of them, especially from just a few countries, will change the landscape forever, as they have in many cities already.

I agree. Their parents are the ones that broke the law, the kids haven’t. Keep them together until the parents are prosecuted, then send them all back. SECURE THE EFFING BORDER, and make LEGAL immigration much easier, but still selective.

Parents willfully putting their children into a situation that can cause them to be separated is unusually cruel.

And the truth comes out. Escaping poverty is not cause for refugee status or asylum.
