I don't disagree, but it doesn't lessen the desperation that they feel. I admire those that will risk it all, even for bad reasons. It's what brought my family here. If they roll the dice they accept the consequences. Some win, some lose. It's called life (and death). Darwin has his place. I don't regret that.

I do admire those who win through, despite the odds, even if I might question their reasoning as to just how desperate they really are.

Well ---like I said ---I have some sympathy for those men who come over, work hard a few years sending money back --- and planning on going back themselves once they get ahead. They aren't asking for a taxpayer dime, they love their own country and actually might do something to improve it ---at least they're trying by keeping their families there. I don't believe that situation is overall good --- because Mexico needs to become a little self-reliant ---but I can understand a desperation that makes them do that.

And I do think people who would risk their kids' lives ----it's obviously not necessary, it's not even like Cuba where that government won't let them legally leave are really just child abusers. What kind of parent would bring their child through 100+ heat with all the known dangers. It's like that 5 year old who died in the semi-trailer ---there was no need in that, the parents can risk their own lives but they're willing to sacrifice their childrens'.
