I have always felt that a parent trying to give their kids a better life should be commended.

Ask anyone who has no problem with what is going on these two questions:

Think about if you were born into poverty and wanted a good life for your kids and what you would do to make their lives better. Take a moment to really think about that.

If when you were thinking about this you decided you would do the same as someone from Mexico or Central America for your kids but think these people should be in jail and worse yet, their tiny children taken from them then you are a racist or just too dense to understand you contradict your own moral compass.

If when you were thinking about this but you decided you would not try to do everything in your power to give your kids a better life than these "illegal" immigrants, then they are simply much better parents than you are and care about their kids a lot more.
