No offense, but you are making excuses. America is being used as Mexico’s release valve, thereby propping up the corrupt regime down there. All on the American taxpayer’s nickel.

I feel for these folks, I really do, but there are legal ways for them to get here if that is truly their desire. Coming across the border illegally is not their only option. Or, they can stay and try to change the change the corrupt system that plagues their country, just as our patriots did.

The one lesson to be learned from this administration is that America can’t be expected to save everyone, everywhere. It’s not a fair or reasonable expectation, and some people, frankly, don’t want a hand-up, they want a hand-out.

It’s not being mean, or racist, or anything else to say why I should I allow the law to be broken when it will ultimately hurt me, my family, and my children? Charity and sympathy does not require suicide.

As for a Chavez-like dictator, well, we have ways of handling that if the situation presents itself.
