Wow. That was one concise, fact-packed post. Thanks, NWP.

And why are they making the bus turn around? If they are being processed, doesn't that mean they are being sent back to where ever they came from?

Actually, Scout, the majority were apparently kids being reunited with families already in the United States. As far as can be ascertained, none were staying in Murrieta.
A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.
Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich

But if the kids were sent here illegally, and they either don't have green card, weren't born in the USA, then wouldn't they have to be sent back? If the "families" they were being united with are not their parents, how could it be a reunification? I feel sorry for these kids, but I do not think it fair/ethical/moral to let them jump the line like it's Disneyland. There are plenty of immigrants who are doing things legally(also at great cost and hardship) to get into this country. To allow illegal immigrants in ahead of them is a slap in the face.

These children aren't just fleeing to the US, they are fleeing to other nearby countries as well. Some run north and some run south. I wish they could be treated as refugees. We give them temporary asylum while we figure out some way to help them relocate somewhere else. Since Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador are too dangerous, maybe we could help them settle in a South American country that is safer and less populated than we are. This is why we should elect smart people. Our elected officials should be able to figure this out. I just can't feel right about dumping them somewhere like a litter of unwanted kittens.

If the "families" they were being untied with are not their parents, how could it be a reunification? A 2008 law* signed by George W Bush and endorsed by Senate President Dick Cheney which stated that: "...children cannot be sent back.
Must be held humanely...
Must be released to parents or relatives living in the U.S."

This whole immigration issue can be solved very easily. Fine every employer $10,000 for each and every undocumented employee. But this will never happen.
Cheapass job creators love sucking on the cheap labor teat, while at the same time bitching and moaning about how bad it tastes!
