Why are illegal immigrants all gathered up and thrown into camps where they are treated like animals?

Why not just take them to the appropriate location where they can actually become citizens?

Illegal immigrants usually arrive with no money, for starters. There are so many of them at the border we can't handle it, financially or in any other way. Illegals who arrive at the border have to be flown or bused to other locations in the country to live at free shelters, and those are all filled up now. Free shelters for families with children are few and far between. I know, because I used to work at one, and families would actually drive up here from places like North Carolina because they had heard about us.

There are literally SO many illegal immigrants the only other thing that can be done has already been done...bus them to city locations and abandon them with no food, no water, and no shelter. There was a huge uproar about that, so we now have to FLY them to places like Bangor, Maine, as we did with a large group of Nigerians who tried to get in illegally on the southern border, to live in the only shelters that have any room. Bangor, Maine is now screaming not to send them any more, because they have no more ROOM or city or state resources to pay for people to sit in the free shelters.

Just the transportation costs have used up all the money we have allocated for illegal immigrants. The recent monies that were given to DHS by Congress came too late...a LOT too late. Money was finally, reluctantly, given by Congress, but people like AOC held things up, screaming that she wants to get rid of DHS, get rid of ICE, and basically just open up all our borders to anyone, not matter who they are or what their intentions toward you or your family.

They caught 10 men from Iran just last week. They spoke Spanish like natives, and caught them by accident.

Among the hundreds of thousands of completely honest illegal immigrants who would never dream of breaking our country's laws, there are very real criminals who have been deported before and who sneak back in, and they need to be sent back to where they originated. They just keep coming.

We have to check, also, that the children who are arriving are actually genetically related to the people with whom they arrive. We can't send them on without checking, otherwise a little girl who was rented out by her real parents in Guatemala might be sex trafficked in Los Angeles.

As a nurse, I understand that you wish to stop the pain and you have a desire to make it ALL better. I wish you could go down to the countries where people are renting out their own children to criminals and make that stop, and I wish you could stop the coyotes who put people into trailers in the heat of summer and try to smuggle them in and then abandon them and leave the trailer locked. All of those people die.

I watched an ICE agent yesterday, bright red with anger, testifying before Congress, YELLING at them, because he SAW those dead people, and SMELLED them, and saw a five year old boy who died in his father's arms of heat stroke and dehydration.He said he can NEVER get that out of his mind. He YELLED at Congress at the top of his lungs to "FIX THIS!!!!DO YOUR DAMN JOB!!!!"

I wish you could stop the immigrants who put their own lives in danger by crossing stretches of desert with their coyotes in the summer and are abandoned before they reach safety. ICE keeps finding women and children, abandoned in the desert, with no food and no water, because they can't keep up with the coyotes they paid.

Congress are the only ones who can fix this, and they all have their heads up their A$$es, so worried about being re-elected they let this go on and on and on and on.
