People want to make this a racial issue, it isn't.  People wants to be compassionate to others, understandable.  I fail to see how any nation can justify letting in poor migrants when they have millions of people living on the streets.  

Actually, there are ways to see the costs as this is how it has been done in the past 30 years. And compared with the masses that came 20 or 30 years ago, this little "mob" is a flea compared to an elephant (i.e. border control was a far greater problem 20-30 years ago, one that was ignored by some of the same people who are screaming bloody murder about it today).

We detain people at the border, as we have always done. We just don't have to do new "punishment" type detainment such as separating parents from their kids in order to prove to the world that we are just as unfeeling as the dictators and tyrants of the world. The fact that we were different in that regard was one of the things that actually did make America great, rather than a lip service slogan.

I agree about releasing them: It doesn't work. We shouldn't do it.

The courts are intentionally backed up because one party decided to stop approving appointments from the other party for 6 years so that they could wait and "stack" the judicial system. Well, the 6 years ended. That party has now had 2 years to "rush" through their partisan appointments. Why weren't they able to get that done (or anything else constructive, for that matter)? This appears to be a problem that the GOP manufactured purely for the reason of justifying inhumane treatment to others. When does that cycle stop? When we start machine gunning people on the border? When we set landmines? Is that what will make America great?

Letting immigrants in and letting them become citizens are two very different things, just as letting immigrants in and detaining them is different than letting them in and releasing them into the population. Detention is viable, we just don't have to be sadistic asshats in how we do it.
