How about those children? I love children but sometimes, they don't have the right parents to care for them.
I was not even born here. My father and uncles were born here. Father married somewhere a good woman but he died when I was 3 years old. I came here 15 years old, adopted by my uncle who had no children of their own. My DNA is Catholic Irish, Italian, and 40% Asian. I am a Catholic that you dislike. Before,you suspected me as a Russian bot or i*****l a***n. That did not diminish me. Ye, I am 60% white, but I like the blending of my color, and my brain. I grew up a Catholic Christian. I am loyal and patriotic to this country. My uncles fought in WW2, and my husband served the war, now gone. Now you know me.
Not all people born here came out the best. There are problems not of their making but environment contributed to that. Like the drug dealers that poison them. See those drug addicts in San Francisco? That is why we need to seal the walls.
Have a good day, and Happy New Year!

Many Happy Returns.
I thought of this hymn you might appreciate. While you are aware I don't share the god delusion, the principle of generativity v. stagnation remains.
1 There is a sea which day by day
Receives the rippling rills;
And streams that spring from wells of God,
Or fall from cedared hills.
But what it thus receives, it gives
With glad, unsparing hand;
A stream more wide, with deeper tide,
Flows on to lower land.
2 There is a sea which day by day
Receives a fuller tide;
But all its store it keeps, nor gives
To shore nor sea beside.
It’s Jordan’s stream, now turned to brine,
Like heavy, molten lead;
Its dreadful name doth e’er proclaim,
That sea is waste and dead.
3 Which shall it be for you and me
Who God’s good gifts obtain?
Shall we accept for self alone,
Or take, to give again?
For He who once was rich indeed
Laid all His glory down;
That by His grace our ransomed race
Should share His wealth and crown.
