illegal entry, what should we do?
Since January, there's about 160,000 thousand apprehended unaccompanied children marching towards the United States.Unaccounted are probably even more.
We all know why they come here.
Problem, our system, is not equipped with a ready and easy answer to handle this situation.
The paper today presented a scenario which make it even worse. There are three groups with conflicting interest on addressing a possible solution. None of them is good for the country except for the children themselves.
Judge Susan Castro is confused as to what we should do.
Jessica Vaughan who has been assigned from the immigration office to help in the processing, personally feels that we should be returning them.
The children's activist and non profit organization is joining with the UN that we should give them protection.
QUESTION: Should we? And why?
I know we have so many pressing problems that needs our critical attention but I believe our decisions in handling this situation is very sensitive to our future immigration policies if not even right now.
Note: 1. This is beside the daily illegals (adults, families) entering the country from all over the world. Chinese and Asians by boat.
2. I believe it's time for UN to create patron of these abandoned children?
Thanks all for your reads and comments.

You need to be more consistent and focus on humanity inside our own borders first. We have thousands of our own children growing up with murders in their neighborhood. Let us heal them first.
I am in favor of banning a deliberate way of getting the Ebola which is far deadlier and annihilating than illegals.
Please don't put words in my mouth.
I am confused myself like the judge. Yet in laws, it should be applied and prevail.
Some months ago I was reading the Time about unaccompanied children coming into the US.
As anyone ask if there is not some kind of criminal minds behind this ?
Did you hear of the fact that for every 18 percent of every Mexicans are here? And 80 percent of that are illegals? They took the number of visa granted since the accounting of at least 12 million of them are illegals.
No country can keep on accepting illegal immigrants without her own citizens (taxpayers) suffering.
They should just be sent back where they come from.
Then the border is created and respected.
When the invaders took this land much like all the European during the period of acquisition, the world was pretty much open for invasion. Like the English for Australia, America and Africa. The Dutch and Spain for the east and etc.
Now after that borders are created and laws for immigration was established.
Anyways, this was before immigration laws were ever established.
Perhaps Mexico should address the problem...if there are too many illegals arriving in the US...there should be a discussion about it...although my heart goes out to the children, it seems to me that it is only a Band-Aid solution...fixing the problem may take some time but why is this not discussed?...
If that information is correct...what else can the US do to make things better and more just for Americans?...
Thanks my friend. We do need to obey the law. Period.
I am in favor of putting them back and apply legally. I agree with all your points.
