(151,656 posts)I'm sorry, but we have to deal with these kids in the most humane way we can manage. We don't know where to ship them, in the first place. We have no way to ship them there, in the second place. We can't just dump them back across the border with Mexico. They don't come from Mexico.
We don't treat people that way here. Instead, we're trying to find some sort of way to house them, feed them, and figure out how to handle them in a way that keeps them safe during the process.
This is an unanticipated influx of underaged kids. We don't have a system or any infrastructure designed to deal with these numbers.
Your solution, and your additional answers in this thread are cold-hearted and inhumane. Please think for a moment before making such statements. Thanks.
