They could build a tent city on the white house grounds, hell they already have a fence to cage them in.
Nancy Pelosi owns a vineyard or two and I am sure they can take in a few hundred there .
I am going to share a true story. I moved from Florida in NC in 2006. My youngest was 5. That summer he was snorkeling in the Florida Keys. He was playing in ankle deep water in a small creek at a local park here in the mountains. Somebody called child protective services on my wife. This triggered an investigation and my wife was charged with child endangerment. They wanted home visits , parenting classes and such. I went round and round with the head of the agency over this . I said my son learned how to swim when he was 3 and 4 weeks before playing in a creek in the mountains he was snorkeling in 25 feet of water in the fricken ocean with sharks at Molasses Reef. His risk of drowning or being endangered playing in that creek while his mother watched from 49 feet away was practically zero. I had to hire an attorney and threaten to sue their ass and I refused to participate in their tyranny of parenting classes and home visits.
Why did I share this? My beef with our immigration policy is our government wants to hold the citizen accountable to the law to the nth degree. I must comply . I must obey all the rules , yet illegal immigrants can send their 6 year old across the Rio Grande River either alone or with drug cartel coyotes and their are zero consequences for anyone. The noncitizen gets a welcome mat ,gets what ever they want. This situation at the border is on the Democrats . They invite this reckless behavior and risk taking with their open border policy. Don't get me wrong, be compassionste for these unaccompanied minors. Feed them. give them medical care and we should pay to fly them back to the country of their origin. We need to take away the incentive of illegal trafficking of kids. We already send these countries hundreds of millions of dollars for schools and such. When are we going to hold those countries accountable for the foreign aid they are getting ?
I feel for those kids . They are pawns in a political game. Oh, the state of NC dropped all their charges after they took the time to investigate it all.

Feed them a meal and then ship them back to wherever they belong and if they don’t know then just ship them out of here. At least I think that’s what is written at the base of the Statue of Liberty. They were unfortunate enough to emerge from a vagina in the wrong geographical location. Tough shit. We should have annexed less of Mexico anyway after the Mexican American war. Now if they were the progeny of Eastern Europeans giving birth here during a “vacation”, i.e. birth tourism, no harm no foul. Thems the rules.
Keep the kids here and place them with families that wouldn't have them travel 1000 miles with people that profit in drug and human trafficking, which then tell them to swim across a dangerous river with the hopes of being arrested and put in a cage. A parent that would do that to their child should never be allowed to see that child again. Period.
The winner of a contest to raise funds for a pedestal wrote a nice sonnet that nonetheless did not speak for all of America then nor does it now. She wrote that poem as a check on American exceptionalism and as a commentary on any immigration policy. As high-minded as it is, it is not realistic. Americans fought and died over a deliberate set of collected values. It wasn’t luck but blood, sweat, and tears for generations. Those people taught their children the same values and their children sacrificed for those values. Those people also earned the right for them and their legacies to be able to maintain those structures by requiring of people that want to come here from other value systems to embrace those of America.
The first being that we are a nation of laws and breaking the law to come here is wrong. But more than that, sovereignty means that not everyone can come here and instantly start changing the country to something else. That is the opposite of sovereignty and was nothing like what was meant for this country.
Which is not to say we are anti-immigrant. To the contrary, this country has embraced and been enriched by immigrants for centuries. All that is asked is that the immigration be controlled and monitored and that no rush to bring people into the country to serve political or emotion whims puts in jeopardy current citizens’ rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
The Sinaloa Cartel is making billions smuggling people into this country. Most of these people cannot afford these fees upfront and end up indentured servants to the cartels.
