or if their parents didnt march a thousand miles with them into a country illegally (ie where they knew they were breaking the law & knew families were being separated).
Considering what many were running from.
They are not actually breaking the law. Claiming legal refugee status is legal.
The same reasoning applies to people within western countries too. Everyone is so quick to make a plea to the government instead of fixing their own problems.
That’s true, but why can’t these issues be dealt with locally? Caravans of people marching through Mexico & setting up camp in tijuana looks more like people shopping than just
