Here’s a Idea.  A ILLEGAL is Caught, with or without family.

Their DNA, and Photo is taken, all of them.

They are put on a Buss, and dropped off at the border, with a piece of paper,  telling them, if they are caught again, they ALL  will go to JAIL. Their will be, NO  Second chances, no Second attempts.  (That info also given verbally).  Because the DNA & Photo will confirm this is the 2nd time.

Result, the, ‘word’ will get out, ’not a good idea’.

If they are caught, and this IS, their second time, they go to Jail. And that Jail time shall be doing something that benefits.

The caveat to that. Is a, Jail in the US, is probably 1,000 times Better than one in Mexico, or like, and their will be a number who will, ‘want’, to get caught.

Just like several here in the US, (specially in cold country) where they commit minor crimes, and, ‘want’ to get caught, because for 6 months or so, when the snow flies, they will get 3 a day, showers, books, TV, etc, etc, etc,. Which is ALL so much better than living under a bridge in the summer.

 So the "problem" is people being upset with Trump and not Obama?

 What are you asking for a solution to?  I thought you meant overcrowding of children in detention centers.

Trump has to do this. He has to take actions that prevent others from making the trip up through Mexico. These are not refugees in the historical sense of the word. And the US has no obligation to accept immigrants who arrive on our doorstep.

I was raised by my mothers older sisters, my two older Aunts. They were raised during the depression in southern Missouri. I didn't realize it until I was older and was able to notice this, but they always ate the worst of the food and gave my sister the same. For example, we ate a lot of chicken and they always turned it over the ate the back meat and thighs.  My two older brothers and I got the pick of the bird, legs, breast and wings. When asked, they didn't necessarily realize they were doing this, but explained that as kids, the men always got the best food (aka most calories) because the rest of the household depending upon their strength to do the farm work and keep the house under repair.

Maybe a weak analogy but maybe not. The poor need a strong and free America to give them the best chance at achieving the same. Instead of importing immigrants, we should be exporting capitalism. Instead of importing illegals, we should be exporting law & order. What good does it do poor, corrupt South and Central American nations to lose those most able to travel north to escape?

Where is the conversation about reforming these nations instead of weakening ours? Where is that being talked about because I'm not hearing it.

Well, gosh..
I'm more aware of the screaming about how awful it is to remove children,,

 Perhaps an article that addresses that as its primary intent would make it easier for people to understand what exactly you want a solution presented for.

Gee, where did your parents, grandparents come from?  Population migration is real, and has and always will be.  Change in climate (lets not get into possible whys it is changing) may force a depopulation of the Indian subcontinent within our life time.  
The never ending wars in the middle east has uprooted millions, and Middle and South America have hot spots of brutality which is forcing people to leave their homelands.
The Great China Wall didn't stop the Mongol hordes, Hadrian's wall didn't stop them wild kilted ones from visiting.  
Perhaps another plague will hit soon (and HIV/AIDS as a man made designer plague according to some) heck, we have the child destroying disease spreading in Florida.  If we arm the insurgents with tactical nukes, then whole cities might vaporize and the whole war refugee problem will go up in smoke.
Tick tock.
Actually, Web makes a good point with his question, but helping the poor and excluding "illegal" aliens are not mutually exclusive.  The real issue there is that many blue collar jobs have been lost to automation, with many more to come (or go?).  What to do with vicious national leaders is apparently a never ending question, one we may have to grapple with soon here in the USA.
