All of these problems these people bring with them cannot be dealt with, we cannot afford it. It cost us billions of dollars every year to deal with these damn illegal aliens....
Northbound migrant group doubles in size, enters Guatemala
Give them legal entry, give them work papers. Give them Medicaid (its cheaper than ER) and nothing else. Invest in their educations and assimilation; welcome them to our nation. We need workers. Their children will be our next generation of trained, skilled workers so that we don't need to import our trained workers from Asia and Europe.
It's the only way to prosper. We will shrink and diminish if all we do is slam the door against the inevitable flood of people who need to leave their home countries.
No stinking way. We have a system for coming to this country legally, let them follow that system and then earn their way like the rest of us. You do not bring people here to give them a free ride. Doing what you suggest is just asking for 1000 more of these "caravans".
What I'm saying is, change the system to welcome them legally and get some value out of them instead of insisting they live in the shadows and not pay taxes, drive down the wages of legal workers, etc. We NEED workers and we NEED people. Trump may dream of letting in just northern Europeans, but they don't WANT to come here. That's not going to work. We have managed to successfully assimilate every other group that has come here, and we can assimilate these people, too. There is already a large group of them here. It's not like they're strange or unknown.
Instead of fighting the tsunami, which is impossible anyway, work with what is being gifted to us.
