But typical FOX- the actual story is kids fleeing from nations so torn by poverty and violence that their parents are trying to save their children's lives by sending them away, but for FOX it's EWWW SCABIES!

I think your "Jesus wept" comment is pretty absurd. There is no evidence that any of these kids were in any type of life and death danger back in their countries. Sure those countries are far more dangerous than the US but so are hundreds of other countries across the world. Do you think the US should take in all the children of the world who live in fairly dangerous countries?
When I hear there is genocide going on somewhere, I'm in favor of us helping any way we can. And when we hear children in Africa are dying of diseases that can be cured with medication, I am in favor of sending medication there. I don't mind paying for it.
But I don't think the US should take in any child who wants to come here that lives in a fairly dangerous country. By the way, there are far more dangerous countries in the world than most of the countries in Central America. Countries like Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, Sudan, etc are far more dangerous. Some of the countries in Central America were really dangerous back in the 1970s and 1980s when they were having civil wars there, but they're not that bad now, not compared to other places.
