I know it's hard being human, in that many of us have compassion for lots of different people. But seriously..........where does it stop, letting so many people come here?
Even though I feel this way, I do think Trump is an ass and I don't like wanting things he wants.....At least not in the way he carries them out.
Life can suck for many Rob. But at what point does a country decide to save everyone, while already neglecting the citizens who have been here a long time? (Poverty, health, education, etc., etc.)
If we let everyone in who wants in, what's in store for all of us in the future?
I feel it's pretty unrealistic for people to think we can endlesslessly let in everyone. Yes, it's all very sad. But we need to consider all those who are already here and have been here a long time. It's not an elitist notion. If you were in charge of the border and let everyone in, then trying to work everything out all over the country as to who gets what care, and what is fair and isn't, you might develop a different perspective.
I feel that it is very rational and reasonable to limit who comes in. Sad, yes. Tragic, yes. But life isn't always fair.
