Do you know what the conditions are some of these families are leaving? There's a good chance that trying to cross the US border was a responsible decision given what they were escaping.

I do understand it, yes, but they're still breaking the law. Knowingly. There was a time in my life I could either go hungry or steal food to eat. I had a choice to make and if I stole food then I had to be prepared to face the consequences of being caught. It's not that I don't care about the plight of these folks, they lead a much harder life than I do and I feel for them, but you can't break the law and expect to be "rewarded" with sanctuary. You do it legally the way you should and you don't have to worry about this crap.
