Let me try to break this down for the European crowd. This will most likely be my only serious/non-trolling post on any of this since I don't like playing Internet debate footsies:

I agree that all of that with kids at the border is a problem. It's a problem with a lot of the same causes as us having African immigrants at the southern border trying to get in.

It's also a problem that such a high percentage of women and girls are raped when trying to cross the border.

There are a lot of problems with immigration at our southern border.

The long-term solution is to create incentives to immigrate legally while having a functional system to allow people to do so. Accepting people hand-over-fist for "asylum" is not the way to do that. Letting people in just to leave them in concentration camps (not that concentration camps are inherently bad) is not the way to do that either.

Having a functional system to allow people to immigrate legally does not mean speeding things up for every Tom, Dick and Harry who wants to come to the United States. There's no reason to let people in who are going to simply sap resources and be a net loss for the country as a whole. Some people don't like that notion, but it's the truth.

As it stands now, there needs to be a very serious physical barrier (ie: "the wall") since all evidence points to that being a measure that's both effective and cost-effective over the long run for decreasing the overall amount of illegal crossings at our southern border.

Aside from that, there are also the issues of sanctuary cities, illegals being able to get driver's licenses, rounding up the millions of illegals we have in the US and sending them home, illegals being able to vote in various elections (local and otherwise) and so on and so forth that are very seriously tied to the southern border situation.

However, all of those are small potatoes compared to the influx of illegal immigrants that come through the southern border right now. It's like trying to decorate a ship instead of paying attention to the massive hole in the bottom of it that's taking on water.
