They are children for goodness sakes.(adults are a different argument) Wouldn't it make more sense to take these children in and SHOW them why America is excellent? Take them an educate them so they could become thriving contributors to our society. Teach them to love this country as much as you or I do. Or.........send them back and to a country that doesn't want them, won't cloth or feed them, has no standard of living and will eventually teach them that we are evil?
They need their moms far more than they need a new experience in a new place no matter what an opportunity it presents. I think they should be treated kindly and returned to their parents.. Some say you don't know what you would do if your child lived in awful conditions. I know that no one would ever separate me from my dependent child. EVER. It isn't right and it isn't what mothers do. I feel their parents are using them. If they want to be here, then come and leave the little ones back there with their grandparents. Don't use them as pawns.

I am not alone. Over half of the U.S. population on both sides of the political aisle feel as I do.
