All people caught crossing our southern border illegally should be loaded onto buses, taken to the nearest airport, handed a sack lunch, and flown back to the country they came from. This would be much cheaper than the way they're being handled now. There is no reasonable explanation as to why we must "process" them and ship them to other cities within our country.
There is talk about how so many of them are in danger due to gangs and drugs. We have kids in Chicago, Detroit, New York, LA, and other American cities who live under the same threats. Maybe we ought to be shipping ours to Mexico, Nicaragua, and Honduras, or maybe Russia, England and France. We could set up a kids' exchange, yours for ours.
It's hogwash politics, is what it is. We need to take care of our own first. Spend our money on our own kids before others.
Speaking of money, let's cut off the foreign aid that we send these countries, and start charging them for the trouble of handling their kids.
Lord help us!!

OK, so we bill them. How will they pay? By sending us cheap labor?

In 2008, George Bush signed a law giving special rights to unaccompanied minors coming across the border. This was done due to the sex trafficking we were facing. No one anticipated the crisis we are facing now but the law says that every minor is entitled to an immigration hearing. We do not have the number of immigration lawyers/judges we need to handle this crisis. Meanwhile, refugees of age and accompanied minors are being sent back. It still leaves us with a humanitarian crisis the likes of which we haven't faced since Ellis Island closed.

In 2008, George Bush signed a law giving special rights to unaccompanied minors coming across the border. Laws can be repealed, and this one should be. Why should these kids have any kind of hearing at all? They're here ILLEGALLY!!
As for how to get the other countries to pay, deduct their payment from what we give them in foreign aid. And stop giving them foreign aid until they figure out how to solve their own violence and emigration problems. What we don't need here in America is more violent people!!
Yes, it is a humanitarian crisis, but why should Americans be held accountable for people who are coming here ILLEGALLY?
EDIT: This is how it ought to be handled...without the return threats... www.teaparty.org/sheriff-sends-mexico-bill-jailed-illegals-49225/

I dont believe illegals should get special treatment. I do think children trying to get to their parents that are legally here should. This touches close to my heart because Jamie's girlfriend is from Honduras and was separated from her parents who came here legally to try to better their lives. They couldn't afford to bring their children at first so they were left with family until the parent got situated and were able to afford to bring the children here. It was a long tough expensive road for her family to be reunited. To this day her mother sends money monthly back to Honduras to help her family there.

I have no problems with legal immigrants. Heck, they are who built our country.
Perhaps I should restate my stance...I want our southern border guarded and manned and set so that only legals get through. If parents came here without their kids, and are now legal citizens, then absolutely allow their kids to join them...and become citizens.
I just can't understand why the politicians don't understand the word "Illegal". It's illegal to kill someone, and our govt is all over murderers. They go after car thieves, and bank robbers, and sometimes even crooked politicians...but that's striking pretty close to home. Yet, when it comes to people illegally entering and settling down here and using OUR benefits, they argue till the cows come home about how to handle it.
It's pretty simple to me: Put troops on the border and authorize them to enforce OUR laws. Change the law that allows children born here of illegal parents to be naturalized. Meanwhile, round up those who are known to be here illegally and ship them back to their own countries. And stop giving them OUR money and driver licenses and social security and food stamps, because they are here ILLEGALLY!!
