[b]Most illegals immigrants come through visa overstays.[/b] Not sure they ever crossed dangerous borders and it seems they could afford travels and visas. The stereotype of desperate hard working immigrants fighting for life is incorrect (and very annoying to me as it does not apply at all). I am sure it describes some people but whether that is even a majority of highly questionable.[/quote]
[b]How do you know this? [/b]

Regardless, for those who are willing to risk life/limb, their lives must've been pretty dire.

And we all know that stereotypes don't apply to all, but I presume to know everyone's situation.[/quote]

"mostly true".

40% is not "most".  Based on math, "most" illegal immigrants cross the border illegally, not overstay their visas.[/quote]

right....must be fun to be so pedantic.

when you subtract those who calmly file and pay for their visas and those who go casually cross the border the number of those who fight for their lives climbing fences diminishes significantly.[/quote]
40% over stay their visas.

60% came by other means, ie, cross the border illegally. "Calmly" cross the border?  You realize walking miles in the hot desert is not a cake walk?

Many have died trying to "calmly" walk across the border via dehydration or drowning in the river.  For those who don't "calmly" walk across the border, they are usually packed into trucks with little water and ventilation.

The only illegal immigrants who probably "calmly" walk across the border are those from the north of us.[/quote]

Wait, are we supposed to feel bad about those that break federal law?  Who cares how they got here.  Boat, crawled, swam, walked, skipped, etc...  They broke the law.

You should like a grandfather.  I walked 2 miles to school everyday in 4 feet of snow..... [/quote]
If I saw a person who was starving steal a piece of bread old bread that most people didn't want, I'd have some compassion for that person even if that person broke the law.  And no, it's not the same thing as murdering someone.  There are different degrees to offenses, and a criminal act is not all equal.

Did your parents never teach you any compassion for people?  What happened to this great "Christian" nation?

I'd like to remind people about the upcoming holiday - Thanksgiving - and how Native Americans shared their food with the near starving European "illegal immigrants".[/quote]

Oh good grief.  Yes, the Native Americans sharing food with the Europeans was such a similar situation to the one we have today.  You can't be serious.[/quote]

You're right. The Europeans posed a much greater threat to the Native Americans than any immigrant today poses to you.[/quote]
