Like most of the posters here, this doesn't concern me too much.  I do believe they should be considered prisoners of war and treated as such.  I believe we should provide food, shelter, and any necessary medical attention and that is the end of our responsibility for their care.  These are hard people accustomed to a harsh life, and my heart certainly doesn't bleed for them in the present circumstances.  In my opinion, this is one of the things that has gotten the U.S. into its current situation - a bleeding heart.  Before 9/11, people would not want to be too harsh with, for instance, someone in the country illegally.  It's good to be known as the kind and benevolent one, but your first priority has to be protecting yourself.
