If you lived in New York and illegally owned a handgun and shot a robber entering your house, would it bug you that you had illegally owned a handgun even though it saved your families life?

They did what they had to do to survive. We as a nation need to take our heads out of the PC sand and fix this problem. Those people in the desert didn't deserve to die. Their deaths were avoidable and we shouldn't have their deaths mean nothing. We need to secure our borders and put pressure on Mexico to relieve the pressure exerted on these people to risk their lives.

You seem determined to make me a supporter of illegal immigration. It's not going to happen. But you have shown your disdain for people who want to live in Freedom so much they are willing to die for the chance.

No, not in the least. The difference is that I wouldn't have a choice. These illegals do. Do it legally or expect the consequences.

Their deaths were avoidable

Yes, that is correct. They could have entered legally, and they would still be alive. Rather simple, no?

No, all I'm trying to accomplish is to point out that these people chose to enter our country illegal, when they could have done so legally. Is it hard to get in legally? Yes. Does it take a long time? Yes. Do you risk the chance of dying coming in legally? No. They chose to take the quick, illegal route and got bitten.

But you have shown your disdain for people who want to live in Freedom so much they are willing to die for the chance.

No, actually they are not. If they truly wanted freedom, they would have the cajones to stay in their own country and make it free.
