[QUOTE="BrownArmy, post: 3575224, member: 18225"] So, we're going to lock up thousands of border-crossers, hold them for weeks or months, just to charge them with a misdemeanor, at $600 a day per person? What a colossal waste of money. Build a wall? 4th century solution to a 21st century problem, insane waste of money. [URL="https://www.wola.org/analysis/five-facts-about-migration-from-central-americas-northern-triangle/"]Five Facts about Migration from Central America’s Northern Triangle - WOLA[/URL] The money would be better spent in aid to these three countries, to stop the problem in the first place. It's like our roof is leaking, and we want to build a gigantic tarp structure over our entire house so no water gets to our leaky roof. Just fix the roof, i.e. how about removing the motivations for these folks to flee their countries? That's hard, and won't happen overnight, but it would be a more realistic and long-lasting solution. [/QUOTE]
