Not that it makes illegals right (far from it) but consider they come from places where their being killed is a high probility. Add most have no education . Most live by staying out of the spotlight in their home country. They come here for a new start , they know its better and less dangerous than home. They cross a river or fence after crossing hundreds of miles with people trying to kill them . If we don't close the border better it will never stop .
now we fight wars around the world for less than the cruelty our neighbors are facing but do little to protect them , oh yea they have little oil .
Politics !
Didn't a famous general go into Mexico for less than the crime that our people along our border are dealing with ? Were signs up 80 miles from the border telling Americans they would not be safe back in the day ?
When did Americans turn away people running for their lives and not put a boot up the azz of those chasing them or comming across harming Americans ?
Why should their problems, and the effects of their problems hurt us.
I understand that in Mexico there is a drug war. But again the illegals comming here to get away from it are helping them bring drugs here. The Mexican drug war is about money and taking and keeping as much as possible. The illegals comming here are fueling the drug war in their efforts to excape it.
What if we did not let them in, could they clean up their own county?
Why do we have to fix their problems?
Why is it up to us to educate them? What does it do to our enducation system? Why should we allow them to bring our system down? Shouldn't they look at what works here and try to repeat it in their country? Instead all but 2 Illegal I have interacted with, one Mexican and one Canadian, wants to take as much as they can from us, and leave. They do not care about our laws, our coulture, our language, they think we are rich and can afford to give them.
A sucking chest would kills so does a thousand pin pricks. and definatly 4 to 5 million will easily kill our society.
It is easy to feel sorry for them. It would do us and them more good to say NO! Go home and do what we do there.
Rome had the barbarians from the North come in and steal everything that was not nailed down, we have the same problem only from our Southern boarder.
