Take heart, the POTUS is on your side: ...according to the The Atlantic, President Obama expressed little sympathy for the young people fleeing for their lives. As The Atlantic characterized his position on deporting the youth, it was unsympathetic, even cruel: Obama, according to those present, would have none of it. Kids all over the world have it tough, he said. Even children in America who live in dangerous neighborhoods would like to live somewhere else, but he cant solve everyones problems. He told the groups he had to enforce the law—even if that meant deporting hard cases with minors involved. Sometimes, there is an inherent injustice in where you are born, and no president can solve that, Obama said. But presidents must send the message that you cant just show up on the border, plead for asylum or refugee status, and hope to get it. Then anyone can come in, and it means that, effectively, we dont have any kind of system, Obama said. We are a nation with borders that must be enforced. yay
