So.... We catch these illegal children at/near the border. We process them, and send them (at tax payer expense) to their "sponsor" who may or may not also themselves be illegal????

Is it just me or is this insane?

It sounds like a report you would hear on April 1st...

It should go like this... Catch them at/near the border. Process them. Take detailed finger prints. Deport them home. Send papers with them saying if they want to immigrate.... THESE are the steps. Paper also states that if they are ever caught in the US illegally, they will be banned from even visiting for life!
