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. 50 years

When a parent decides the threat to his or her family's life is worth a treacherous trip to a country where they may be separated, why can't more empathy and compassion be shown by us, the people with the much more fortunate life.
