He has to balance the misery of a huge number of poor and blameless people vs US national interests. I don't envy him this choice.

There is no way to put off the guilt of dealing with it on someone else either. That is a cop out. He has the power, it is his choice, it is his guilt.

This is the kind of thing that prematurely ages people.

"He has to balance the misery of a huge number of poor and blameless people vs US national interests."

If he balances anything vs U.S. national interests he does not deserve to be President. That's the problem. He was elected as President of the United States of America not head of the UN.

I voted for George Bush to be the President of the United States, not the President of Mexico. The problems of the Mexicans are the problems of the Mexicans. Not mine, not ours. If they have a screwed up dysfunctional incompetent culture that keeps them miserable and poor amid a country full of riches it is their problem not ours. I frankly don't care how poor the Mexicans are. Let them stay in their country and deal with their problems not criminally trespass on mine and proceed to steal and carpetbag my country. If the man who is the President of the United States can't see that and has such an excess of sympathy for the plight of those south of the Rio Grande that he puts their interest on the par or superior to your family and mine then he ought resign and pursue some sort of charitable work because he is violating his oath of office in a profound and truly insulting manner.
