Do you think that will fix the problem?

Maybe instead of looking at this as a legal issue we should be asking ourselves why these people are coming here and make changes to that. They are leaving Mexico because it sucks and they have no opportunities there. Why now work with Mexico and try to help build their economy up so there is more opportunity for people in that country and they won't be as tempted to leave or as tempted to get into something illegal as a means of supporting themselves.

By throwing a parent in jail for two years and just handing their kids to someone to take care of, all you are doing is adding to the problem. A broken system now has another broken family in it.
