Illegal immigration question

Somebody, anybody, tell me how from 20 to as many as 80,000 homeless children from thousands of miles away in Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama can go through Mexico (no other country touches our southern border), without a problem, but one American is caught immediately at our southern border and imprisoned for a wrong turn at maybe less than a mile. This doesn't even account for many more illegals coming from south of Panama, such as Columbia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru and Guyana.

This is a trek of many thousands of miles. We are going to provide transport, food, housing and medical care for these illegal immigrants, who are the offspring of illegal immigrants. Give me a politically incorrect response to this craziness. We don't have the means to care for everyone in the world. Pull your liberal head out and try to keep our country in our country's control.
