Most of us are good, charitable people who are utterly disgusted at the government's lack of ability to control our borders, and disturbed that illegal immigrants are typically able to get away with crimes scot-free. Would you rather us hand the Treasury over to people who just arrived? Or do LAWFUL CITIZENS not have any say in THEIR government any longer??
If you're disgusted at the government's inaction, take it out on the government. That's what elections are for. If, as a democratic principle, a majority want the borders closed, it'll happen. If not, then admit that you are on the losing side of the vote. Of course, you can keep trying to win a majority for that view. But, don't declare open season on other human beings. Jesus didn't do that with the prostitute. And, the Samaritan didn't ask for a green card first.
