No, ideally they should go back to their own lands and their own people and make their own countries great again. If they are utterly determined to immigrate here and become American they gotta get in line like everyone else and do it legally.

Well of course we should did not jesus say that those who opress the poor shows contempt for their maker. So the way i see it we deny these people that need our help then all we are doing is going against gods words

May President Trump be strengthened to do his job and stop the barbarian hordes, praise God!

To start with the term Asylum Seeker is being misused by the west. The original definition was someone who was fleeing from persecution in their own country. Many of those being labelled with the term are not under persecution. Another catagory are refugees who are victims of war or natural disasters. The people subject to this thread are illegal economic migrants' My view is that they should not be allowed entry but to apply through the legal channels. The same applies everywhere else including the UK

If people can wait up to 10 years or more to legally enter the US but these losers can say "asylum seeker" and get in....there is something major screwed up .....last I checked most of theses people are not from war torn syria or other war afflicted areas but mostly from africa, other middle east countries, pakistan, and mexico....and just use the excuse of asylum seeker to take advantage of a situational loophole to get in a western country illegally......

the politicians who make these rules to allow illegal immigration should be given asylum.....in a mental asylum hahaha.....

America is not oppressing them. Your comment is ridiculously nonsensical.

I never said that we were opressing them but it is our duty as followers of christ to help the poor and those is need. We need to be like the good samaritan your thinkinh is just like the person im yhe story og the good samaritan who walks on the other side of the road avoiding those who need help

Seems to me these folks are like the kids who kill their parents and then want pity when in court because they are orphans.

I do not understand you guys are christians but you do not believe in the teachings of jesus? Are you really christians then because it seems like your faith is lacking!

First point: Why can they not seek 'asylum" in Mexico if they are "oppressed in their country? They are already there!

Second: If they are so gung ho to come and be American, why are they waving the flags of the Countries they are being "oppressed" by?

Third: How ridiculous to say we aren't being Christian by allowing every person on Earth to break our laws and come here illegally. Not too mention the incredible generosity America, and American Christians have shown through ALL sorts of relief efforts.

This caravan is a scam orchestrated by those who hate America's freedom and capitalistic economy. They are using these people to achieve their evil ends of borderless countries and global socialism.

Why not use all resources to transform THEIR countries into a capitalistic society governed by an American style Constitution?

Last point: You who say let them all in, do you have locks on your doors? Any fences around YOUR property? Why do YOU not let anyone and everyone roam through YOUR house?

No, I don't believe that the US should. Maybe Canada would be willing to take them in as it is a huge geographical area that is sparely populated. Perhaps Quebec.

There is a vast difference between helping and enabling.

If you build it they will come. That was from Field of Dreams that was based in Iowa. Perhaps it was referring to a wall.
