According to news reports, right wing militias are descending on the border with Mexico in an attempt to keep out the migrant caravan. What could go wrong? There are reports of the barbarians stealing equipment from the National Guard. Lovely.
I'm not exactly thrilled to have a caravan of people heading here. I suspect there are some bad guys among those fleeing violence. But I suspect most of them are actually fleeing violence. I'd prefer to err on the side of offering asylum, after a thorough vetting.
I'm really unsure how to handle citizenship for those here on asylum. If someone is here illegally, I don't think their kids should be citizens automatically. There should be a path to citizenship. If someone is here on a work visa and has a kid, they should have the option of giving the kid citizenship. But asylum seekers would ideally go home at some point. We don't want a repeat of the disastrous situation with Somali refugees, most of whom never take on American values, and who's children very often become troublemakers who support islamic ideology.
