Potential for Great Tragedy

It has been made known that a rather large group of Hispanic refugees are currently on their way to the Texas/Mexico border in search of asylum; estimated walking speed puts their arrival time in mid-December. While many politicians have had differing views on the situation Trump has made clear his intentions by sending US troops the border to stop the caravan by any means necessary. However, the fourteenth amendment clearly states that these people seeking asylum from their dangerous homeland should be met with appropriate aid and support by the US government. While I do believe that taking in several thousand refugees from Central America all at once without appropriate screening is downright foolish, executing them on the spot without provocation seems like something that would be considered a war crime. Granted the fear is well deserved because, like it or not, there are several dangerous groups that wish to do harm to our country who could be hidden within the caravan. What this ultimately boils down to is a lazy approach to a slow-moving problem. Resources can be put in place at the border to properly handle screening massive amounts of people in an expedited fashion, but the government is flat-out terrible at executing these solutions due to under spending. Hopefully we do not see a mass execution event come December but instead an example of human kindness and decency.
