The world is made up of the descendants of refugees from wars and from poverty. There are few, if any, living people on this planet who cannot trace their ancestry to some country which their ancestors fled to avoid war, starvation or disease.
If you lived in a hell hole and believed the only way to provide for your family was to bring them to America, and you refused to do that because there was some law in America that nobody enforced which said you ought not to come here unless you have bribed the government officials in your home country to grant you an exit visa, you would be worse than an infidel to refuse to escape.
Right, let your family die of war, famine, disease or starvation because you are too honorable to break some unenforced law in another country.
If your wife or children were dying and you had to get to the hospital which was 5 miles away within 5 minutes to save them, would you obey all the traffic laws on your way to the hospital? Are you so honorable that you would not break a few traffic laws to save your children?
Cry me a river, lets take care of our own first, and that means Americans and legal immigrants. We cannot take care of the world, and if you want to do so why don’t we just open our borders and ports to anyone not just those favored by geography?
What limit would you place on illegal immigration for those fleeing their terrible homelands? Letting them come here is taking the pressure off their own countries to provide for them and we are getting their problems dumped on us.
Every dollar spent on an illegal is a dollar taken that should be properly used for an American or legal immigrant. Where are your tears for them? Try visiting LA and tell me what is the difference between there and Mexico. Mexicans do not care to assimilate unlike previous immigrants legal or otherwise.
Thanks for proving to all and sundry that integrity is meaningless to you and that you use false and misleading analogies to defend foreign criminality in the United States.
The fact is poor is a relative term, and any fool can justify his plight and criminal by saying he is poor. This is how liberals justify their criminal behavior.
Should I go rob your house because I am poor? Should I stick up a bank because I a poor?
Maybe you should reflect on what separates humans from the animals, the civilized from the uncivilized, or are you one of these people who thinks anybody can do whatever he wants just because he feels like it and justifies his criminal and immoral behavior because of rough circumstances?
The Japanese just had a Tsunami and nuclear meltdown in their country and how many countries did the Japanese refugees invade?
That’s right, none.
People all over the globe suffer from a host of life’s miseries every single day and most people don’t chuck their honor and integrity out the door or blame their misfortune on others.
Only liberals in America and illegals seem to have the entitlement mentality that if things are tough abroad, make Americans responsible and make them pay.
By the way, Mexico is the 11th richest country in the world, has a rapidly growing economy, and is at full employment.
According to your logic, it should be opening its doors to America’s poor instead of dumping our social problems on our already strained economy and social system.
