So what exactly have you been waiting for? You could have done this any time this year. Let us hope your bill does not require children to be placed in questionable care by creating incentives for illegal immigrants, already in the U.S., to sponsor new arrivals for money.
1. Is Pelosi Solution Better Than The Problem It Aims to Solve

Maybe. Maybe not. In particular, I am quite concerned about what she might have in mind because of the highlighted sentence in Pelosi's statement.
2. While it's good that Democrats are finally engaging, after years of obstruction on the matter, it is not clear what exactly they have in mind. I assume 'sponsors' refers to people resident in the U.S. who the kids from the border detention centers will be handed over to.
3. Considering Pelosi is seeking protection for 'sponsors' from DHS immigration enforcement, it is reasonable to infer that those sponsors themselves are illegal immigrants.
4. So is the Pelosi solution to the problem of too many migrants entering the U.S. illegally to join the newer illegal entrants with the older illegal entrants to create ever larger families of illegal immigrants, thereby encouraging even more migrants to crash the border?
5. This is not a pure conjecture either. This is essentially what was happening, to a large extent, under Obama administration, and that is what resulted in the current spate of migrants pouring in.
6. Seriously, the solution to the problem cannot be putting on steroids what created the problem in the first place. I wouldn't put it past the Congressional Democrats to propose exactly something like that. Republicans need to air this fully if such is the case.
