I understand perfectly well. And I have never apologized for a criminal. But this is exactly why I usually blow off most of these immigration threads, because anyone who doesn't fall in line with the most ridiculous and extreme interpretations is accused of being a lackey who wants open borders. And it is the same reason why it has taken far longer than it should have for the issue to take hold in the general public, because the loudest voices against illegal immigration are often liars and rabid cranks foaming at the mouth. Whether you like it or not, most people understand that the majority of these illegal aliens are coming here just to improve their life, not as some sinister Atzlan plot. So when you call me a criminal apologist just for pointing that out, you are calling them that, too. Not a good way to win people over to the merits of your arguments.
That is not what the mexican illegal alien support groups say. They say that this is their land.
What part of criminal is not clear??
So you agree that for what ever reason they come here they are committing a crime and criminals should be punished?
I don't care if someone is stealing out of my yard so they can feed their family or better their life. If the criteria for the use of lethal force is met then they are dead.
