"They can be retained without ankle bracelets."

That's the alternative to catch and release.

"I want those kids to be treated gently and comforted. I would like to see them clothed, fed, given good housing and put in school until they have their day in court."

I don't want them to have their day in court. Mexican kids don't get that, nor do Canadians. I'd much rather spend their "education funds" on food stamps for US kids, their "clothing" money on long-term unemployment benefits, and their room and board on 1-way tickets back home.

If you want to help a kid who is endangered by flying bullets, adopt somebody from Chicago.

" cannot spend a few billion helping some poor kids fleeing gang violence?"
Where have you been? We can't even spend a few B on food stamps on US citizen children.

If they were fleeing gang violence, they would stop once they cross into Mexico. They are coming here cuz they think we will give them all the free stuff you want to give them.
