RETURN TO SENDER/ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION

[Blindgreed1]

You left out the part where the coyotes get them here and keep them in a 3 bedroom home with up to 200 other illegals and hold them hostage until they get every last dime out of their surviving families in Mexico. ICE raids at least one of these houses a month down here. The living conditions are as bad as you can imagine and of course there are children packed in with everyone else. When those kids arrive in the detention centers, it's difficult to connect them with anyone in the home because they are scared, often in shock, and as they are children don't communicate effectively. Sometimes they can reunite, sometimes they can't and other times they may not have any family in THAT home or even any family here. Needless to say, they are much better off in a government detention center than they are in their coyote hostage houses. There is so much more in play here than what the media shows the public and as Fry mentioned, the moral heartbeat of the masses is to get those poor children out of those detention centers. I have two kids and 4 grand kids. I wouldn't want to see any of them detained but the fact is that if they broke the law they would be separated from their families, citizen or non. There is a proper way to go about seeking asylum, but they just don't do it. Be it because many have been able to get here illegally for decades, or just because they don't know any better the vast majority don't attempt that route until they are caught crossing illegally and at that point the authorities are left to decipher which are truly seeking asylum and which are just trying to create some sort of plea bargain for the lack of a better term.
