I agree that we need to protect children who are here while they go through the process but disagree strongly that we have a responsibility to deal with the cesspool and problems that are Central and South America. We should certainly stop interventions that make things worse but fixing the world isn’t our problem and it’s beyond our abilities. We do not owe foreigners a safe place to flee or go. We cannot be responsible for all 8 billion people on the planet or the 422 million people in South America. The children who come here should be protected and safe while they are processed and then they should be sent right back where they came from. The same is true of anyone who crosses illegally, they should be treated with respect and dignity and then sent right back where they came from to wait their turn in line.
