How do you say 'pandering' in Spanish?

As nice and well-meaning as most illegal immigrants seem to be - and as much as most Americans want to help the less fortunate - no country can afford to allow itself to be overrun by all who want to take up residence there.

There are countless millions of poor people in the world, many living in more poverty-stricken areas than Mexico or other parts of Latin America. If we hope to help them while continuing to sustain our own nation's prosperity, we have no choice but to draw a line and enforce our policies.

Ultimately, our solution needs to be an instrument of tough love - neither Pollyannaish nor Draconian, humane but not personal. The ark, after all, is only so big, and even Noah couldn't save everybody.
