Meanwhile, at the border:

Should have kept their asses in Mexico.

Good point! I heard a lot of those little kids came on their own initiative.

Never trust anyone under six.

Interesting fact... they didn't. Their parents took them to the border and tried to smuggle them into a foreign country. Honest question... are these parents the kind of people you want emigrating to whatever country you live in? People who will put their children at risk and break the law?

I mean I'd be down with taking the children in, deporting their parents back to Mexico or wherever, and finding foster homes for the kids. Only problem with that is it provides incentive. Better would be to stop them getting through in the first place, and prioritise those who attempt to migrate lawfully.

Maybe they thought their kids were at less risk than they would be staying in their own country? Or do you think they just don't care about their families but are only looking for that great job they always dreamed of picking strawberries?

And, regardless of the virtues of the people showing up at your border, do you not think you have a responsibility to at least try to feed and wash them? Especially since, as coco pointed out, it's roughly the same number as have been showing up for years?

Incentive for desperate people to give up their kids so they don't have to face whatever horrors exist in their home country? Yeah, that's really opening yourselves up to be exploited.

Better would be to stop them getting through in the first place, and prioritise those who attempt to migrate lawfully.

Better yet would be to follow international law

Article 14(1) of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), which was adopted in 1948, guarantees the right to seek and enjoy asylum in other countries.

So let's take a hypothetical: France goes under in a civil war. A hundred thousand people show up at Dover over the course of several years. What should we do with them - put them in concentration camps so they're discouraged from running for their lives? Or hope they take the hint and try their luck somewhere else?

You better stop with all of that logic before you trigger some libtards.

The Obama administration tried something similar, but a non-trivial number of the kids ended up in human trafficking situations according to the New York Times (https://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/29/u...port-says.html).

I'm going to say "more than a dozen" is a trivial number. But still, do the fucking background check. I can't foster children, because I can't provide a suitable home. That would become very obvious very quickly if anyone did even the slightest bit of research into my circumstances. Each child should have a social worker who maintains regular contact. I had a social worker as a child, I lived in foster homes and children's homes. If anyone tried to force me to work on an egg farm, my social worker would have found out and reported it, and a new home would have been found for me.

poop, you said that people have a "right" to go to whichever country they choose, and then tell me I'm talking shit because I point out that's not true, while citing Canada. None of those Syrians had a "right" to go to Canada until Canada granted them that right. Canada chose to accept them. They didn't have to. So... learn to fucking read.

Oh and don't dodge this question please, it's quite important to the discussion...

Do you think people have the right to seek economic opportunities in whichever nation on the planet they choose?

[OngBonga]

You're still dodging this question...

I'm not actually interested in the question. That's your thing, immigration. My thing is human rights and the inhumane treatment of people; I don't care if they're immigrants or not.
