Nah....I am one anti-illegal that surely won't be staying home on election day. I'll be voting for the candidate that will deport your greedy, selfish, line-jumping illegal friend...pond scum that he is. How would you like it if I said that about one of your freinds?
Can't you argue your point without making meanspirited personal attacks against people you don't even know?
My friend came here legally, overstayed his work visa when he found out he had a terminal disease.
You call him greedy...but he is barely making it.
He actually spent a few years sleeping in parks while working at day labor jobs making just enough money to eat.
Sounds real greedy and selfish doesn't he?
He came to this country hoping to make a new life for himself. He knows there is nothing back in Belize for him. He is a hard worker. He isn't asking for handouts from anyone. He at least has some friends here who are willing to help him make the best of whatever he has left of his life.
Maybe your friend has a sad story --- but what about this one friend of mine -- not really a friend but an aquaintance and a very good person. She went to university in the USA, she lives in Mexico, has no relatives here to sponsor her but she'd like to work here instead of over there because it pays a lot more ---however there isn't a great need that can be shown in her type of employment for workers --- but she's doing everything the legal way so coming over will probably take a long time --- if it ever works out for her --- why should someone who chose to ignore the immigration laws be moved ahead of someone who is trying very hard to follow them?
Why should a lawbreaker be given cuts in the line? Why should they be allowed to take a job that someone who is patiently and carefully following the rules is waiting to take?
