> They were brought there by their parents that purposely broke immigration laws. Yes, they crossed the border illegally, in order to apply for asylum, because they would have been automatically rejected otherwise. Think though, for a moment, how desperate someone must be, to give up their home, travel thousands of miles (not in an airplane) and put their lives in danger, just for the chance for asylum in the USA. > They possibly even did it with the idea of appealing to emotion of US citizens to get away with it. Yes, because parents of children often sacrifice their children's health and livelihood just to make a point. Or as a media stunt. If you don't care about these people, if you feel no sympathy at all, that's fine (well... it's not fine, but it is besides the point). But such cynicism as to their own motives is not accurate.
