But the constitution says people who can prove they are fleeing danger can ask for asylum.
These people are fleeing CRIME AND POVERTY created by narco thugs in charge of their country.. There is very little discretion as to who suffers down there. THEY ALL DO... And in a lot of the kids coming with moms are already entangled in that crime and drug racket.. THAT's NOT ASYLUM issue... THAT'S REFUGEE issue. And REFUGEE crises need to be handled differently and NO ONE in Washington is even TALKING about refugee camps...
This is why only 15% or so of those that APPLY for Asylum make it as far as a hearing.. And only 60% of that 15% EVER SHOW for their asylum hearing once they're roaming free in interior USA...

Numbers of illegal aliens in the U.S. by Fred Elbel - THE AMERICAN RESISTANCE FOUNDATION - Information on illegal immigration numbers
I spent an hour explaining the exorbitant price of education against this nation and why it's twice as expensive to teach and train children from two countries. Most of us have no idea the lengths teachers must now go to ensure that border crosser children receive equal education to our own. This requires hiring bilingual specialists, social workers, and teachers in grade schools with master's and phd degrees in multiple language arts and sciences. Teachers HAVE TO TREAT EVERYBODY EQUALLY. Meals must be provided for hungry children now. Some smaller towns just can't afford more teachers, so some schools have to have teachers with grit to double their load of responsibility for keeping laws passed in favor for children of all backgrounds. The social behaviors counsellors to integrate the border crossing kids to American schools contributes to the smooth running of schools with many problems. Then, I accidently hit the "refresh" button on my computer that erased all that two hours I spent researching. So I'll just post the link hope you can figure it out for yourself.
My conclusion is that we cannot afford the four million illegals crossing the border each year (sometimes many more). Please know I love people, but Mexico is using our country to bolster its economy without giving their "pisanos" as they call them assistance. That's why the flood is pushing here. The Mexicans get paid when the people send money back home. Figure out how that works.
Here's just a little bit from the above link, but trust me, everyone here needs to read it and half of the ones who've posted might not come back, so it's too bad people do not understand our fiscal responsibilities to our nations newest children:
Below are several approaches used to converge on the number of illegals entering on a yearly basis:
- Official Border Patrol statistics stated that in 2001 there were 1,676,438 total U.S. border apprehensions.6 If one out of four were apprehended as the Border Patrol officially states, that would mean that in the year 2001, 5 million illegals entered and evaded apprehension (1,676,438 x 3). Table I summarizes illegal entries at various apprehension rates.
- Official Border Patrol statistics stated that in 2002 there were 955,310 total U.S. border apprehensions6 (this is significantly lower than apprehensions in 2000 and 2001). With a one out of four apprehension rate, then in the year 2002, 2.9 million illegals would have entered and evaded apprehension (955,310 x 3).
- Official Border Patrol statistics stated that there were 888,480 total U.S. border apprehensions from January 1, 2004 to June 30, 2004.6 If one out of four were apprehended, then in the year 2004, 2.7 million illegals entered and evaded apprehension in that six month period (888,480 x 3). Assuming that a similar number of illegals enter in each six month period, this works out to 5.3 million per year. Table I summarizes calculations used by these three approaches.

(millions of illegal aliens per year)
Apprehension rate 2001 2002 2004
1 out of 4 (official Border Patrol rate) 5.0 2.9 5.3
1 out of 7 10.1 5.7 10.7
We seem to be getting 4,000,000 per year now, according to the link here:
