[quote name="blackwater"]There will always be a bunch of political idiots screeching at each other on the internet. There will always be some media story about children, designed to advance the interests of the people who control the media. Big business likes cheap labor. Importing Mexicans is a great way to get cheap labor. Democrats like Mexicans because they vote Democratic. So, we get a bunch of stories about how ICE is separating children from their parents. If the people in power wanted a different narrative, the journalists could easily write one about how irresponsible the parents are for putting the kids in this situation in the first place. A nice long-form piece that talked about all the ways kids can get killed or trafficked before even getting to the US border. Why don't they? Cui bono? Incidentally, the government could end the illegal immigration problem in a much easier and more humane way by targetting the employers who hire illegals. It would be pretty easy to do. There aren't that many big farms or construction projects, and it would be easy for ICE to find them. Why don't they? Cui bono? Stop barking at each other like rabid dogs. Start analyzing the situation like you belong here.[/quote]
