Would you adopt a "an unaccompanied illegal child"?

Somebody should. If a few years younger, I would.

Children become who they are in large part based upon how they are "socialized". Although I don't agree with the attack on our borders by illegals, I do feel the children should be properly cared for and if allowed to stay, properly socialized.

These children will become the type of American that the people raising them are. Many people seek to adopt. Why not adopt these children? Change their environment and you will change the child.

I don't see the Sky Screamers proposing the mass adoption of these "children". If they care so deeply, why not?

At my age, frick no... But as much as I pay in taxes, I probably have adopted a few...

Send their asses back with their parents...

I couldn’t even fathom the legal bullshite that would accompany doing such a thing. For the rest of your life.

No.

I'm not the one inviting them to come here.

I'd rather adopt a baby/child that is from here first.

Be a good foot rest. Teach it basic house cleaning skills.

Could be worth it.

No. They've already got parents. I'd buy one a bus ticket to send them back home.

No, it perpetuates the problem. They need to be sent back to their families wherever they came from and those people need to be discouraged from trying this in the future.

There are plenty of American orphans that are looking for homes too.

shite no...not without verification that the kid isn't some gang rat wannabe.

Anything over 5-6 years old is a crap shoot.

Is the cage included or do I have to buy one separately?

Let me translate this for your.

Someone should. Not me of course, but someone. The gov't should make people do it. Not me of course, but someone.

There are tons of actual american children looking for homes/families to adopt them, and you’d adopt an illegal kid first?

With the exception of La, who now limits the cost of adoptions to $7500 and the cost of adoptions still on the high side of $40,000 (closed adoption/via an agency) if they want to traffick these children for adoption...all they have to do is offer them to prospective adoptive parents at a reduced rate.

Yes, I said trafficked. Adoption costs and the process is merely legalized human trafficking. Trying to go thru it myself with my wife and the costs will astound you. But that being said...those kids have parents who want them. We need to find homes for those who are without homes first.

Me personally? No, because I'm not in the market for a new kid.

If others wanted to and found a path using proper legal channels, that would be their choice.

People who attempt to smuggle kids should be deported. People who continuously have to be deported should be sentenced to hard labor.
