Good thread, I wish I could offer a solution...The point of this thread is to demonstrate the selective outrage shown over thisSo, what should we have done? I am getting tired of my cynicism on this issue, but it seemed like a reasonable path to follow.Literally Hitler

LAREDO, Tex. — Last spring, as Central American children flooded into Texas in a way he had never seen in his three-decade career, Border Patrol agent Robert Harris decided to experiment.
His intelligence analysts estimated that 78 percent of the guides smuggling other migrants were Mexicans younger than 18 — teenagers often hired or conscripted by drug cartels that knew they would not be prosecuted if caught — and he wanted to attack this loophole.
“Why don’t we remove these juveniles from the smuggling cycle?” Harris, the outgoing commander of the Laredo sector of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, recalled thinking.
Now, as a result of that decision, young Mexicans are being held for months without charge in shelters across the United States, sometimes without their parents’ knowledge.
I am very anxious to see what congress comes up with, what we are seeing today is not inhumane, except in the case of parents that are handing their kids over to smugglers
I want kids to be with their parents and I also want border integrity
From what I have seen lately, I do not believe the modern Democrat party will support anything that offers real border control
Thanks for your comment and question
