It's been said (Mr Agenda said it many pages back) that people coming across the border should be fingerprinted and photographed and let in. It really is a simple solution, and I agree with it. It's known that the vast majority just want a better place to live and a job (that most USians are above doing, btw). 
It's a shit-ton easier on everyone. No kids in cages, the malcontents who do eventually commit crimes will be apprehended and deported, the rest will integrate into society and become lazy shits like the rest of the US, after which more immigrants will be necessary. Win-win! Only part of this is tongue-in-cheek humor. I'm certain that those with the appropriate level of reading comprehension will know what part. 
And it is also true that if the people in the US would just stop sucking their spare change up their noses and down into their lungs, the strife in the countries "those people" come from would be reduced by orders of magnitude. I'd bet good money that if the US population stopped using opiates, the war in Afghanistan would be done in as long as it takes for an orderly troop withdrawal. The Taliban would go broke! Fuxxakes, we make most of our own trouble.

If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
