The conservative columnist George Will on Sunday said the more than 57,000 migrant children who have crossed the border illegally should be welcomed to America with open arms.

“My view is that we have to say to these children, ‘Welcome to America. You're going to go to school and get a job and become Americans,’ ” Will said during a panel discussion on “Fox News Sunday.”

Will said the country has more than enough space to accommodate the children, many of whom have made dangerous journeys from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador.

“We have 3,141 counties in this country. That would be 20 per county. The idea that we can't assimilate these 8-year-old criminals with their teddy bears is preposterous,” Will said.
