That was a very callous answer to someone that has suffered directly from serious crime. Someone in an earlier post asked the question "Has an illegal ever committed a crime against you personally" I think that post was in answer to that particular question. I think your answer was rude and insensitive and totally uncalled for.
Illegal aliens should not be here period. IF the US needs workers from another country we need to make sure we can legally get them. Any cost or crime caused by an illegal should not happen, because they should not be here to begin with. Comparing the cost or crime to legal US citizens or to others here legally is simply bogus to this topic and you know it.
I was the one who asked that question. If you took offense, I don't care. I don't subscribe to Political Correctness. I don't avoid asking tough questions because they might "offend" someone.
I am trying to find out why so many people get so personal, passionate, and ugly when it comes to immigration. If they have had bad personal experiences, I can understand and respond accordingly. For example, most immigrants, like most people generally, do not commit crimes when they are here. So that it isn't it. It's something else.
