I'm going to ask everyone to refrain from name calling whether it be the name of a flower or a fruit. There's no need. Feel free to continue this debate, but keep it civil.

No one said immigration was without controversy. I decided to pursue this story for two reasons. First, I don't think most people know about T. Don Hutto. Second, I want people talking about it. I think both goals were accomplished. And Rage is overrated ... for the record.

Send 'em back quick and build a bigger wall. Thousands of Americans came to this country LEGALLY from all over the world so what makes Mexico so special? These people are here illegally! They're NOT paying taxes and the money they do earn is sent home to Mexico. Yet they take/scam American benefits, collect government money and send their kids to public school while never paying any taxes. SEND THEM BACK!!

[Docubloggers]

For the record, many of the families and children being held at this facility are not from Mexico. We shouldn't forget that "immigration" doesn't mean "Mexican". Additionally, and this is only for your edification, if you receive a paycheck in America, then you are paying taxes.

People you are not remembering that America has no jobs like 25 years ago...

I wanted to go up to the border patrol guys and tell them that I can see what governments have done to us all. The hatred and the fear & their false sense of power in their authority to deal with the people as they do. It is the governing & religious leaders & all controlled sciences & your graphs presented that belong behind those bars. False. Deceptions. Liars protecting their lies! Halliburton gets $7,000.00 per month pr child? Can you add that up for me please? Open blank checkbook=clues

Yeah, i totally agree with you, hardworking american citizens who were the best paid and producing the best products,...no more...because greedy companies decide to outsource to thirdworld countries, preferring to pay slave wages than to pay an earnest pay

[jimj122680]

Liberals who support illegal immigrants are actually (unknowingly) siding with greedy U.S. corporations. Why? Because they (ie. liberals) are protecting corporate America's cheap labor workers.

WHO WINS? Greedy companies AND illegal workers (earning FAR more than in Mexico).

WHO LOSES? The U.S. labor class (U.S. proletariat) via job losses to illegal workers & depressed wages.

Thus 122 years of U.S. labor struggle (carried out since the Haymarket Rebellion of 1886) is being undermined.

Mexico is just as much to blame as the U.S., if the ideals of the so called mexican revolution at the turn of the 20th.century were really set in place, these families would not have had to endure all types of hardships and pain to go North, lookin' for a better way of life. 5 stars Docubloggers and thanx for sharin'!
