Thanks Billybob for your post clarifying and having a level-headed conversation about such a complex issue. It's NOT as clear-cut as many here try to make it, on either side of the ideological spectrum.
Sorry but its only a "complex issue" for those with an agenda. In reality it's not complex at all. They are breaking our laws! Yes it really is that simple. Sure some of the youngest don't know they are breaking our laws and shouldn't be punished but should be returned to their homes and there is no justification for taking more than a week to do so. But the rest do know and they chose to do so willingly and should be dealt with just as harshly as any other country in the world would. Anyone who thinks otherwise is just part of the problem.
