What is stopping the US from just going into those churches and arresting those illegals and deporting them like we should. A church is just a building.
I agree, if their nation is so bad, stay and fix it.

Why, only the same thing that is stopping the US from just going into your compound and arresting those illegals. A compound is just buildings. You cool with that too?

Or make 'em all scouts and let 'em live on cookies. Maybe we could put them in the zoos that are being emptied because we care more about animals than these kids.

You know that children don't have the same rights as adults. No, make their parents take care of them until they are 18, then if they want to come back, fine, we'll have a welcome back party.

In the real world, there are children who have one legal immigrant/citizen parent, and one who may face deportation, so the kids end up losing a parent whether they stay or go. Usually, when both parents are deported, they do take their children with them; other times they are left with relatives. Sometimes, they have to go into foster care if their parent(s) can't take them. Ten years ago, this wasn't an issue--parents could stay in the U.S. with their kids. Then some idiotic bill was passed that has resulted in families and communities being uprooted and torn apart.

I can't say I'm the biggest fan of churches, etc. for my own purposes, but I'm glad that these institutions are here to take a strong stand on this issue. To me, it speaks a lot for their core purpose in our society.
