I am sorry, but I see all kinds of problems with your approach. However, am I to understand that you are not one of those who believes we should just let illegals into America because they brought their children with them for photo ops ?
I think, correct me it I am wrong, that we cannot just stop them while they are within Mexico because, well we have no border wall ? Most of these illegal aliens and their children are not arrested until they have crossed over. A lot if not most of the border is wide open. We catch them here. So what if you just spin em around and shove em back across the Mexican Border ? Well you got two problems. First as soon as they cross back into Mexico and you leave, they will just turn around and come back into the US. Second, you fling them back across the border and they die of thirst or hunger, because much of the border is wilderness, they blame the US. Wait until pictures of dead bodies appear on American TV, if you think videos of separated and incarcerated children are inflammatory.
I thank you for the civilized discussion which is rare on OPP.

The problem is the adults are jailed so the children are housed in decent housing. Both are a long way from the border. Documentation is not good tying the children with the adults. Big mess. All done according to the law passed under Clinton!
