It's totally a fake crisis Jim, border apprehensions are down more than 5 times what they were in 2000, the US based population of undocumented immigrants is estimated to have declined in the last decade. We still need comprehensive reform but this is exactly the wrong way to go about it.

the democrats want future voters, that’s what this is. If Mexican immigrants ever start voting republican, watch how fast the liberals change their tune, they’d ship every last one of these people to the southern tip of Tierra

This is perhaps one of the dumbest talking points out there. To apply for citizenship you have to have a green card for 5 years, which you're not going to get if you can't demonstrate you entered the US legally.
Even for those granted permanent asylum you still have to wait years to have your case heard, then if it's approved wait another year to get a green card and then 5 more before you can apply for citizenship.
Nobody is doing this to gain a handful of voters.

Spence whats ‘bigoted’ exactly, about insisting that immigrants follow the rules? Do you tell your kids to cut lines when it’s convenient for them?

The Honduran refugees aren't trying to cut in line, they're seeking asylum which is perfectly legal. Many of them likely won't get it. If you can't understand the bigotry in the whole thing I'm not going to be able to help you.
