I guess I'm missing something. I was never under the illusion that America's legal immigration policy was to help the impoverished. People immigrating here legally had to either have a needed skill, someone here willing to support them or be in extreme jeopardy in their country. Yes, we're housing some illegal immigrants but the vast majority are sent back when caught even after being housed for awhile.

The problem is illegal immigration and the willingness to help these people, whether man, woman or child. If a child can find a family willing to take them in and support them sans foster care and government aid, let them stay. Ditto adults who can show a means of financial support. Let those who can prove extreme political danger if returned to their country stay. Otherwise, send them home. And, yes, I still say I'm a liberal but common sense has to prevail.
