To the Editor:

The photos of the children who are incarcerated at our borders are heartbreaking. Whatever side you are on with the immigration issue, surely putting children in cages cannot be a part of a strategic immigration plan.

These people are seeking asylum, which is very different from crossing over illegally. Our laws permit people to come to this country in this way. When they enter, a court of law meets and a decision is rendered regarding whether they can enter the country.
