What we/I were commenting on was doing the right thing...the right thing is always what works in the long run (ie. results measured a few or more years down the road). The right thing in many circumstances is also not the easiest thing to do, at least in this context, emotionally.
Helping those whom want to help themselves is the right thing to do, so is making sure bad guys can't hurt our country or our family, while still being realistic and unemotional.
You can bring a mule (horse) to water...but sometimes you end up having mule steaks for dinner...not the best result for transport nor the mule, but realistic based on the circumstances.
