Then maybe the House should pass the Bill providing the Funding to do so.

By this time in the thread you should already have all the information you need to know the real situation, but yet seem to not have any better answer to the problem than our Reps in Washington and their answer is to sort them out and to deport the vast majority back to their home countries, you have an issue with that?
IMO......they all should be put back across our southern border.

Let it become Mexico's problem.....not Mexico making money from them.

In time Mexico will seal their southern border.....problem solved.

Some will make it home.....and tell others not to try.

Ah, so the excuse for why they are accepting of these things, is because they are accepting of these things?

And yet people throughout the world have conducted citizen revolutions, to overthrow despots in there countries. The US, India and others fought the king of England, the people of Poland took on the Soviet Union.

But then I already described this very issue in the post you responded to:

"Do people ever stop to think that the cultures and societies, which form the public mindset, of the people in Central America and the Mid East and Africa may be the reason that their people are so excepting of the corrupt and despotic governments they live under. Year after year, decade after decade, century after century, they continue to live under one despotic government after another. Why?"

That is the question isn't it? Why are these people so accepting of the corrupt and despotic circumstances of their lives? Why aren't the people in Mexico and Central American countries not rising up and protesting against them? Why are they so accepting of the way things are? Is it their culture and society that causes them to adopt this sheep-like mindset? To allow corruption and crime all around them, and meekly eek out an existence?

My intelligent response was in answer to your idiotic statement that the poster take them in to test his morals.

Here it is
"I think it would be best if we send them to your home, we can see if you are a good and moral person by your actions, that should be very interesting indeed."

Your memory is either selective or just plain bad.**

I get it now. As long as there is paperwork involved its moral. Thanks for setting me straight.

btw I never said to send them to a country where they didn't come from. I'd like to see proof of that. But keep making things up if it helps you sleep at night.

**It's bad in this case. It was another poster who said that.

You can't take children from another country and leave them in Mexico. It's hypocritical. There are other ways to get Mexico to plug their borders which would help stop the influx of illegals here.

Why not???

Put them back to the place they broke OUR law.

Leaving their Central American countries was not a crime against the USA......crossing our border is.

America is often directly responsible for most of Mexico's and Central America's problems, so in a way yes it is your problem.

The question is, why aren't the people of Mexico, and other countries south of the border, not protesting in a citizen uprising against the crime and political corruption? Why do Mexicans cross our borders illegally, and then boldly protest against our government to conform to their needs, wants and desires, but don't protest back home?

Maybe if the people in these countries grew a pair, they could take their countries back and make a life for themselves. Then there would be no reason to immigrate to another country.

Why should it be our problem when they refuse to solve their own domestic situation?
