Leaving the PLANNED, COORDINATED effort led by BOTH Parties, NGO's and .Gov contractors ASIDE:
I have a completely different perspective which may or may not be "popular". I live in a very ethnic town consisting of many nationalities; Italian, Greek, Syrian, Spanish, Oriental, etc. I can say from personal experience that for the most part they are very hard working and we all get along just fine. Over the past few years I have seen a slight influx of immigrants coming in, and they, too, are hard working. New restaurants, a new paving company, other local businesses, and recently a group of 3 young men who are originally from Mexico recently installed my wall-to-wall carpeting and did a fantastic job.
I see people as individuals and never blanket-label anybody. I embrace the Christian view, and the Bill of Rights which outline our Natural Rights, which are not only for Americans, but all human beings.
That said, as a white person myself, I can also say this: when I worked the '12 Ron Paul campaign, it was the ladies with dyed red hair and the men with the "Veteran" ball-caps at Republican Committees who insisted that Romney was the all-mighty sacred one, and completely dis'd Ron Paul. It was the 3 Iranian sisters, Mexican families, and a variety of other immigrants who lived here who were not able to vote, but helped me tremendously in getting all 3 of Ron Paul delegates to win hands-down.
This immigrant crisis is being coordinated. It is designed to cause Americans to sacrifice more liberty (just like 9-11) in order to implement more security. I simply am not falling for their tactics. The money going out as incentives, as much as I abhor it, is nothing compared to what it will cost in liberty AND money to build their walls, implement biometric-security, aerial-drones and cameras on every street corner, expansion of the Constitution-Free-Zone, not to mention the strain that it will put on AG/cattle-ranching, to empower the globalist corporations (synthetic meat and protein-bugs).
It is also designed so that government will have more of a strangle-hold on more small/medium businesses; who they can/can't hire, dictate salaries/minimum-wage, and other government conditions. The small/medium companies suffer, the globalist corporations will dominate. This will set up a permanent public/private system = Fascism at its finest.
If the politicians were actually serious about this "crisis", they would simply stop giving tax-payer money to the immigrants as incentives, and stop giving tax-payer money to the NGO's and contractors who are coordinating and profiting by these transports. And rather than the American people demanding more anti-liberty and astronomical costly measures, they would/should be all over the politicians that they put into office and demand stop-payment.
