What is your view on this immigration crisis on the border?

Deportation should be categorically ruled out right now. That's an unacceptable option for the current situation. Our country has more than enough capability to bring them in. As some have noted above, I don't support blanket amnesty, although it should be issued on a case-by-case basis. For the future, we do need better border security and should turn away future arrivals. We can certainly deal with what we have right now, but I don't think we can realistically deal with a persistent flood of refugees moving into this country. I'm very sympathetic to their ordeal and we should be working to prevent this from happening altogether, which should especially include working with those specific Central American countries to prevent the causes that are effecting this crisis. If we can guarantee safety to those that are currently in this country, only then should we consider sending some back to their families.
