62. How long do you think that will take ?

Let's agree that is the logical solution. We can't even solve poverty and homelessness here and have been trying for 50 years.

It would be one thing if it was isolated to a few countries, but people are coming from all over the world to go through the Southern border. Africa, Eastern Europe, South and Central America.

What should be done in the meantime?
