[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]
People in most countries who live in dire situations do indeed sneak across a border to a more well off country.

We do get illegal immigrants/refugees from Haiti, just not in the same numbers because, you know, there is a big swath of water between Haiti and the US.

Why do you think there are so many illegal immigrants in Europe from Africa but not so much in the US?  Because Europe is closer.

Robbing is a criminal offense; overstaying your visa and the like is a misdemeanor.  Two very separate things.[/quote]
