We all need to realize that this country is slowly running out of resources, especially when it comes to any kind of public assistance programs-we are stretched very thin. Healthcare is becoming stretched very thin. I could go on. While I have no doubt that every single person on here would love to help, including me, everything has a limit. An example: If you have 1 meal a day , and 20 people to feed, what would you do? Feed 1 or 2 people who will probably be at least able to survive for a while, or try to share it between the 20 people, and no one would survive. We cannot afford to feed, clothe, educate, and care for the millions of children who live in the same situation the immigrants live in. I agree with whoever said that you could find children living in filth, very little food and clothes, fearing every day of their lives because of guns and drugs and killers living in their neighborhoods or even buildings. Current American children/ citizens living in EQUALLY horrific situations as those that these children came from. This has been going on for years and years in this United States. We have not been able to help these kids. If we cannot fix the horrific situations that are currently here, why would anyone suppose we are accomplishing anything by bringing any more children here. We may be changing their location, but not their problems. We are just bringing their problems here. we are only taking away resources from current American citizens. If these kids stay here, they will either be in the same or worse situations------or, they will be placed on all sorts of public assistance, and live much better than millions of current American citizens/children-not to mention better than our military families, many of whom are living below the poverty level now. As much as we all would love to be everything to everybody, and to cure all ills----we can't. We can't feed our own children, we can't pay our own debts, we are a country so divided. We have got to fix ourselves before we try to fix everyone, or we will not be helping anyone.
