GOOD. because they don’t belong here. Unless documented.

OK, this one makes no sense.

No, Edward wants the president to start violating the law and sending all immigrants back home to whatever fate awaits them. Just as the conservative bigots in the day HIS ancestors came here wanted HIS ancestors sent home. Because America. (And no, there is no legal pathway that these kids could have taken. Our immigration system is completely broken and one party refuses to even consider any fixes that would actually solve the problem.)

Actually, an internal government report indicates that lax immigration enforcement, not violence, is the primary driver of this surge in illegal immigration:“In late May, the U.S. Border Patrol interviewed unaccompanied children (UAC) and migrant families apprehended in the Rio Grande Valley. Of the 230 total migrants interviewed, 219 cited the primary reason for migrating to the United States was the perception of U.S. immigration laws granting free passes or permisos to UAC and adult female OTMs traveling with minors. Migrants indicated that knowledge of permisos was widespread across Central America due to word of mouth, local, and international media messaging—prompting many to depart for the United States within 30 days of becoming aware of these perceived benefits, according to the same reporting.”http://www.breitbart.com/Breitbart-Texas/2014/07/14/Leaked-Intel-Report-Violence-in-Central-America-Likely-Not-Primary-Factor-in-Border-Crisis

I take from the fact that neither of you address the actual facts set out in the article I linked that you cannot dispute them. Neither did Newsweek, which has also discussed the leaked intelligence report.
