After watching the news for the last 50 years, I can see that most of the world's problems are caused by over population, yet no-one seems to be addressing the issue, something I find incomprehensible.
Migrants go to the US because they come from countries where there are more people than jobs to support their numbers.
The Catholic church must take a great deal of the blame for this in the central Americas. The Bible said to "go forth and fill the world", but maybe not like sardines in a can right?
Are the people of these countries entirely innocent victims? Are they brainwashed to marry and pro-create, even though they do not have the means to support their offspring?
You would all be better off debating fundamental causes, rather than arguing endless "who said what issues " which lead to dead ends, I see this happen all the time on the Brewery.
If the children are not separated then they end up in prison with their parents which would cause an even greater outcry.
If the illegals are simply returned without penalty they will just come back again, this happens in Europe.
The reality is that there are very many people who want open borders in many countries, but they want others to pay for the consequences. The rise of right wing parties around the world is an indication of the frustration of the"others" at the liberal governments failure to act on these difficult issues.
There needs to be a concerted effort to advertise to poor countries that the streets of the US and EU are not paved with gold, they are in fact heading for cold damp tents or in the EU case, a watery grave.
Humanity is fast over filling a finite world, The consequences are much greater than separated children, they are depleted and plastic polluted oceans, logging of rain forests for cattle farming and palm oil production, global warming from more and more CO2 production as developing countries still use 19th century technology, loss of bio diversity and endangered species.
Trump is the only politician I can remember who is actually enacting his campaign promises, no surprise then, that the half of the country who did not vote for him, hate his guts. He may get the Nobel peace prize for ending the Korean war, whereas Obama got one just for being elected, its a funny old world, you couldn't make it up ???
@Andratte you have my admiration.
