[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I figure that nobody with means and options is leaving their home and family and traveling across deserts in the dark, then smushed in the trunk of a car to get across a border so they can then sneak around and wade through shit on chicken farms and work in terrible conditions. But that's just me. [/quote]

SO WHAT!!!  It does not give them the right to come here and stay here illegally.  It does not.

There are millions and millions of poor people in third world countries.  Look at Haiti, God bless them.  How about Milawi, Liberia, etc..  Terrible dire situations.  You can be empathetic to all of their situations but it does not mean they can come here illegally.  It is breaking the law.  If I had no money and robbed a cashier for $500, would you be empathetic to me?  How is it any different?  [/quote]

NP - I don't think anyone here disagrees that it it is breaking the law. But their is statutory law and moral law.  Would I feel empathy for you if you robbed a store - it all depends on the reasons why you did it. What is your background circumstances that pushed you to take such extreme measures? Were you trying to get food and clothing and shelter for your kids? Then yes, if I was on your jury I would give you the lowest form of punishment that was available. If you were a 20 year old wealthy punk who has done this simply for the thrill, then off to jail you would go.

Do you see how circumstances matter? The same holds true in immigration. [/quote]
