None.

Lots of savings. It currently costs $750/day to keep a child in a concentration camp. Almost all of these children have family members, including parents, in the United States, who are able to and want to take care of their children. All we need to do is to get these children to their families, and we know that almost all of them will be well cared for, and it will cost the U.S. taxpayer no money to care for these children, because they will be cared for by their parents. After processing fees and airfare, maybe put all those savings towards M4A.

They get jobs and find places to live like everyone else. By the second generation, most immigrant families are middle class and paying taxes that more than make up for the costs of the first generation. If an asylum seeker breaks the law they should face at least the same consequences as a third generation immigrant sitting president who breaks the law.

Because they don't want to live in Mexico.

Again, not sure who this boarder is, but those waiting lists will clear up pretty quickly once the borders are opened.

No, all are equally welcome.

394. Fewer, but most of them are probably old so they'll be retiring soon enough.
