What about the internet robs people of their humanity. Practically, if you are actually thinking about cost, there is no reason to take on the task of ward for all of these children. Lol, I'm sure if they started shooting the kids people would still support it. There are a few things people need to realize: 1. People will NEVER stop trying to make a better life for themselves and their children. They come here because they need help. 2. People would not leave their homes with kids to cross into another freaking country without reason. They come here because they need help. 3. If we don't actually actively attack the real cause, it will never stop. This has more to do with Mexico than ourselves, but if we want it to stop this is what we need to do. When I was a young child I was homeless with my family. We needed help. Separating me from my mother would not have helped. We needed real help not your indignation. |
What you'll find though is the US asks why it should be forced to pick up the tab for what are essentially the internal problems of other countries. Your first point can't be disputed. If I lived in an area with excess gang violence or was very poor I myself would look to leave. But they all then head to the US which feels overwhelmed by the numbers. Plus you can't legitimately claim to be a refugee just because you are poor.
I also agree with your third point, but when a country with tries to enact any sort of chance, good or bad, in another country it can easily be given a negative spin and usually always is. Take the situation with Venezuela for instance.
