No we don't. Send them back.
You can’t keep kids with their family
Sure we can, chuck the whole bunch of them back over the border!
Why NOT process amnesty applicants at the US embassy in their home country.
I agree. But I believe that they PROPER way for them to apply for asylum (which I think is what you really mean) under current law is for them to do it at the consulate in their own country. Not on our border.
Coming to our border, crossing it and asking for asylum is a criminal act and those who attack our borders should either be shot or suffer a lifetime ban (for them AND their children) on ever entering our country.
Beyond that though, I still don't see why you say the system is broken? When properly enforced it makes it difficult for people to enter our country and makes sure that only those with something to contribute can make it in. That is what an immigration policy is SUPPOSED to do!
(although we do need to end chain immigration and birthright citizenship. Only children of citizens who are born here should be counted as citizens)

OMG. Did I actually say “amnesty”? I meant asylum. And I thought I made it clear that they should do it in their own country, at the consulate or the embassy. If they show up at the border expecting sympathy for stupidly crossing a dessert and endangering themselves and their kids, stick them on a helicopter and fly them back home, or just tell them to get lost. If they want to apply for asylum in Mexico, they can go thataway.
