There is a group of Guadamalans and Hondurans that is headed through Mexico heading for the US border.

What should be done?


( note - only the Libertarian Party has an open borders plank in it' s platform).

Take their valuables and then send them home.

Send them home?  What about the slave value?
There's fruits and vegetables to be picked, you know.

Oh wait... I forgot ... Americans are falling all over each other to do those jobs.
Sorry... my bad.

So how are we going to split up 27 Centavos and a 1/2 loaf of moldy bread?

First, you kidnap their children.  Then, you lock the kids in Quonset huts, deport their parents, and call it 'border protection'.

Carefully.

Kidding aside - let them in - or turn them back?


There' s upsides and down to both options.

I can't see letting them in - en mass. It would set a dangerous precidence - of " mob rule".

I also can't see turning them all back - human decency says you have to help those who will face death returning.

I don't give a fuck WHO is in charge. There' s gonna be a whole bunch of pissed off people griping, regardless of outcome, regardless of who is POTUS

It's why no sensible person would want the job.

Sorry, what does letting them in have to do with mob rule?

If you make an exception - letting in a large group - simply because it' s a large group.

But that's not mob rule. Keeping them out or letting them in based on the majority opinions of USians, irrespective of the relevant laws, would be mob rule.
