We ever think why people want to come to the US? Do we even care that people who are born into circumstances beyond their control are powerless to change their circumstances in their country? Have we even stopped to think that the floodgates might not open if we help these folks?
Coming into the US is the last hope for some, most, of these people. The US represents an escape for these people from the dire circumstances of their lives that are beyond their control.
It seems heartless to just say, "turn around, we don't want you here", without much justification behind why we can't support them.
