The real evil are the mexican dirtbag parents abandoning their kids at the border or illegally crossing the border with their kids. Why is no one covering that story?

I've never been to Mexico, but I hear bad things. I wouldn't even want to live too close to the border. If I thought my children would have a better opportunity in another country I wouldn't really care about that other country's laws over my family's well being.

In fact, I'm not sure my great grandmother was a legal immigrant. Whenever we'd go to Canada she'd have to pretend to be sleeping during the border crossing in case they asked for her papers. That worked out for everyone, she spanned a massive family, a number of them very talented and odds are you use something every day they pioneered.

We want high potential immigrants like that.

Now, abandoning your children... That's hard to understand, guess they're really desperate.

This is why we need a punitive system to keep the costs high for crossing the border illegally, otherwise more will come. I'm not sure what the solution is, but maybe imprisonment with hard labor for offenders and Israeli levels of border security. Also sanctions on Mexico to pay for each offender. They really should be doing more to prevent their citizens from border jumping.
