What the Democrats want is to stop with the inhumane side of it. When the big bad caravan was coming few months ago, everyone was up in arms and the Republicans were shouting to stop them before they get to the border, while the Democrats were shouting "Isn't the first step of becoming a legal immigrant, literally coming to the border and applying?"
If you find an illegal immigrant in the country, they should be deported. Especially if they are criminals.
But a mother and her child fleeing a corrupt and cartel owned country for a better life in America where she and her child will work often terrible jobs for minimum wage or lower, to build herself a comfortable life should not be thrown into prisons and treated like they murdered everyone.
What bothers me the most about the right side's approach to this is that all of our illegal immigrant problems stem from the handful of MEXICANS who walk across the border illegally, and not the white billionaires and other above poverty illegal immigrants who come here on travel visas and overstay their visit.

Good comment
You sound like someone who one could actually debate with.
However, it gets complicated. A mother and a child, would bring very little to the table and may end up being a financial burden where as able bodied men, who are persecuted by folks on the right for not staying in their country to fix things there, would be worth more to the very people who would want to employ them here.
I actually agree with republicans that requesting asylum is abused by most of those seeking it. Only around 4% of those seeking asylum actually get it and the others are turned away. I believe that process is working, and all the people who cry foul at the migrants are actually getting what they want on that particular issue.
