I somehow sense that you posted this with the huge influx of people coming here illegally being prevented from entering, being turned away and apprehended when found in the country.
What is your position? Would you have no laws or regulations for people entering our country? Would you not regulate who is a citizen? How exactly would you handle immigration?

If only I had the wisdom of Solomon.!!
I believe that we need well though out immigration laws that are enforced while leaving room for merciful judgement. If I were living in a crime ridden hell hole with my children suffering from poverty and/or gang activity, I would try to enter America by any method short of violence. The US would have a right to enforce it's reasonable laws to stop me from entering.
We do have laws allowing for refugee status and I would support review of at least the juvinile cases and accept those who met the refugee criteria.
Overpopulation in the US, according to demographers does not present a problem whereas the reduced birth rate does.We will not have enough young workers to support medicare and ss in the coming decades. It does not seem that the "too many people" argument works.
Glib, pat answers will not help . Reasoned legislation, enforcement and a bit of tolerance and mercy will. JMveryHO.
No, I do not think that the thoughts in the Lazarus poem have been revoked- just tested.
