#3 simply doesn't work. People disappear all over the country, and too many resources would be exhausted in trying to find them. #2 is expensive, and we have much higher priorities to address. #1 flies in the face of everything that we have stood for as a country (read the inscription on the Statue of Liberty), but it may be the only feasible alternative.

One thing that has been suggested is aid to the countries where the asylum seekers come from, to make those countries more desirable as places to live. It's an indirect approach, but it would seem that it would pay dividends down the road and reduce the need to make decisions like this.

They have shitty and corrupt governments. I don’t feel that’s the US’s place to change them. I thought the consensus here was that we need to get out of nation building?

Yet we feel the need to remove regimes that we don't agree with.
