    What was wrong with the other countries they could have stopped at instead of proceeding to the US? Fleeing Honduras is understandable, but Mexico is not Honduras. People risk the trip all the way to the US because they want the benefits of living in the US, not because they are unsafe in Mexico.

    Do you actually believe the US is the only safe place for refugees fleeing Honduras? Or do you just think people should be allowed to move wherever they want with no checks or balances?

    At some point, surely you must agree that “looking for a better life” is not an excuse to go wherever you want and do whatever you please regardless of risks or consequences. Either that, or I hope you are volunteering your city/state to process all of these people. I hope you can at least appreciate how monumentally expensive and demanding it is to handle illegal immigration if no deterrents exist. That will come out of your taxes to deal with.
