    And why don’t they just stop in Mexico? If they’re fleeing Honduras they’ve already achieved their goal.

      Because the U.S. has always taken in asylum seekers. Why are Hondurans any different from Somalis or Hmong?

        We can only take so many and crossing the border illegally should mean they are sent back. Do it right or go home. We have the right and the responsibility to protect our borders.

          How many exactly? Give me a number and explain why.

          And crossing the border and surrendering is legal. Which is what they do.

            Since when? They can do that at a legal border crossing they don’t need to risk their lives swimming across a river. If they’re crossing at a fence or at a river they’re not going to go with a legal route ever.

            Which part? The one that claims we don’t have infinite resources because that’s impossible? Or the claim that a sovereign nation has the right to defend its borders? Both of those things seem pretty fucking obvious to me.

              Big difference between infinite resources and enough room for more of these refugees, no? One is a finite number after all.
