Doing whatever it takes within reason. It's not ambigous Sam. If you don't help solve the problems over there then they will continue to come over here. Thats obvious. hence their problem is your problem.
>>We need to rise above "us vs. them" and start thinking about "all of us". How to do so is a question for people who are far more expert in these matters than me.

>Again to me it's not "us against them". So whatever the "experts" decide is fine with you even if you think what they decide is crual and inhuman?
Is that what you read in what I write? Isn't cruel and inhuman behavour a given no-go? Do we really need to discuss it?
There are economists and social scientists and experts in a variety of fields that can advise and guide how a country, it's government, it's people, it's society can be used to help uplift and improve the lot of those countries that neighbour ours and are less well off then us. Why is this so hard to grasp? If life is bad there and good here what do you think is going to happen? Those words do not imply that cruel and inhuman behaviour is fine!
The message is simple - if you do not help fix their problems then they will continue to be your problem. This applies to every country that has an illegal immigration problem, not just the US.
In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends - Martin Luther King, Jr.
