If we do not show compassion to these children who will? And how do we expect the Government to show compassion to us if we don't show compassion to our own kind? How are we any better than they are? How, us as children, did we contribute to the economy? Our parents did, but I didn't work till I was 18. I am nobody to judge, and while I am sure some of these children have frivolous asylum cases, I do not doubt for a second that most of these kids are escaping situations we can't even imagine. Sure, I want papers too, but if the law fails us, blame the politicians and people in Washington, not these kids. I for a second would not want to be in their shoes.
