Stop the hypocrisy. If you truly care about these kids, stop encouraging them to come to the United States illegally. They are crossing the border. Most of them are being harmed, many of them are being abused, and a few of them are dying…

As I sit here and I listen to the other side talk about this issue, I wonder if they even understand what is happening at the border. In 2011, there were only 6,500 children coming to the border. In 2012, the President acted through DACA…
