We don't greet those kids with open arms because it is a scam. Most of the ones showing up unaccompanied are coming to join their parents. Not because the parents miss them, or their home countries are becoming too violent. They are bringing their kids her based on the premise that the children will get deferred status and by default the parents won't be deported. That is it.

Anybody that can't see that is completely uninformed or completely naive.

“People come here because we have the rule of law”
We used to. This invasion ultimately changes that.

Rant on:
A strong society is only sustained by warranted trust. When the excesses of power and corruption gain too much traction, people lose faith in conservative values of self sufficiency and responsibility. We slowly...and then quickly, morph into a world of complete corruption where anyone who would live by honesty and responsibility are considered the fool. We all know that corruption is not ultimately sustainable and what we have now is an unchecked progress toward absolute tyranny driven by personal greed for power. I see no way this can be stopped from meeting its ultimate end. Those who would lead us to a survivable path are destroyed by politics or worse. We understand why there is such a backlash from conservatives. They know they are being played for the fool and will be left with the bill. Sure, many of us want to see our country survive as well, but we also know where WE will be left in this. So many want to concentrate only on the dollars, which are important, but what I think is far more important is how these dollars are changing behaviors and expectations. This is what actually defines who we are.
Rant off.
