I actually tried to edit, saw the "edit" option available, but took too long to type my edits that the period expired. I don't think that's ever happened to me before.

Anyhow, edit: Maybe another way to put this is that whatever crisis that immigration is presenting is only about to get more and more urgent pretty soon, and it just seems to me that, increasingly, our options are:

a)brutality
b)doing nothing that inevitably slides toward brutality

If it comes to what will happen first, that the United States will be able to help the victims of American imperialism in a humane way or that the United States will no longer be an institution that exists (at least in the way that it does now) then I imagine that the second comes first.

It doesn't seem like the kind of problem that we are interested in or capable of solving.
