[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every single person living here had a distant relative immigrate here to get away from some hellish situation back home.  Where is your compassion for humanity?  I am horrified by the responses and hope you are but a few trolls and not what most of the county thinks/believes.[/quote]

Oh, that’s not true at all.

I live in Silver Spring and my kids go to a Title 1 School, so we are friendly with several undocumented families and they are our neighbors.

They are not escaping some ‘hellish’ situation.  They came here to make some cash.  Money.  That’s it.  That’s the motivation.  And they go back every few years, so they are clearly not afraid of being in their countries.

It is only a very, very small percentage of asylum seekers who are truly afraid to live in their own countries.  Many of the them are simply looking for better economic opportunities.  [/quote]

I doubt they trust you with the details of their previous life. I doubt you know who is documented and who is not.[/quote]

Of course.  You can’t really dispute the fact that most of the families are here solely for their own economic benefit, and so you try to pretend I’m not telling the truth.

What neighborhood do you live in where you don’t know your neighbors and your kids’ friends?  That’s actually a bit sad.  Must be a wealthy neighborhood?

For those of us who live in regular middle-class, LMC neighborhoods, we do actually know the families in our community.  [/quote]
