I Would Expect Arizona To Lead The Way

I;m surprised that many show up to a known kangaroo court.  I wouldn;t.

Exactly. There's no lack of understanding in what's going on from the immigrant perspective.  They want to live in the US instead of some shithole country.  Illegally entering with a kid is the best option available.  Or was the best option available.  Probably still is, because plenty of people get in without being caught.

If I'm fleeing from Guatamala, I'd probably try the regular border. Then if I got rejected, try to come in illegally. Although, I'm curious what Mexico's immigration laws are. Because if my real goal is to avoid being murdered in Guatamala, Mexico seems like it could do the trick if the US said no.

Mexico! We're almost better than having your kids ripped from your arms and being thrown in jail!
