LOL you are pathetically trying to spin this and FAILING. If your argument is welfare of children, why ship them somewhere where there is no future? Just leave them here and make their parents legal residents by giving them green cards. Win win win, parents, children and US economy.

Did you just say that places outside the US have no future? Are you assuming that they have no future because you're a racist who assumes that they're non-white and therefore somehow their country is a shithole? You racist son of a bitch!
How,exactly, does the US economy benefit by giving green cards to people who have no future? Will they automagically grow a future as the green card is placed in their hands? Or are you making the racist assumption that they'll develop a future only if they're allowed into a white country, but will have no future if they stay in a non-white country? Is that the assumption you're making??!!

Example: the caravan of refugees that came from central america... their countries are unlivable and dangerous directly due to US installing corrupt government officials. They have a bright future here in America, but no future in their own country. US colonialism is finally catching up to bite us in the ass after all these years. Id rather it not be the case, but the right thing to do is take care of them. Do you know how much all these immigrants help our economy? Big Agriculture cant exist without them...
