If you choose to enforce your presence on a country that doesn't want you, you're in the wrong.
What the USA is doing is inhumane (news at 11) but I have very little sympathy for people who put their children at risk like that.
I'd turn into a criminal before putting my children at risk like that. Maybe this makes me a worse person. It certainly makes me a person whose children are not in involuntary semi-permanent detention.

I don't think you grasp the severity of the situation in Mexico. Perhaps you should go strut your tough stuff over the border. The state dept advise against it due to the high levels of violence and kidnapping.
That wouldn't matter to a would-be criminal though.
