Blue anyone who enters our country illegally is a criminal. That's a fact. Do you want to know the very SIMPLE reason why? Entering our country illegally, or pretty much ANY country illegally, is guess what? A-Crime. It's a felony. So by literal definition of what a criminal is, a person who has committed a crime, and the fact that illegally entering is a crime, all illegals are criminals. That's not an opinion it's a simple fact.
Now you do make a good point, that some folks are in a bad situation and do what they have to to survive. But just because a crime might be committed out of fear, or desire to survive doesn't magically mean we should let laws be ignored. If a man is starving he does not have the right to steal food. He has a damn good reason sure, but him starving doesn't give him the right to steal someone else's food to survive. It's sad, sure, but laws exist for a reason.
Also, the US does not have to cater and help every single person with a bad life who want's a better one. We quite literally can not take care of every single person who could benefit living here-that's why we have immigration laws and such a long bloody wait. Tons of people want to be here, but we can't just let them all in. Think of the US as your home. Think of the mexicans and refugees from Syria and any other area with folks fleeing to safety as, the homeless in your city. Would those homeless benefit if they could break into your house and sleep there? Sure especially on a cold winter night, especially in a nasty storm. Why some homeless probably would freeze to death if they don't break into your home for warmth. Now, even if you live in a damn mansion blue, there is no way your home could house an entire city's homeless population. No home could for any sizeable city.
Just like America can't magically let in every single person who will die if they don't enter it. Does that fact s**k? Most certainly. Is it a damn shame and sad? Definitely. Now would just letting in any tom joe and henry make a lot of folks happy? Sure, but it wouldn't be sustainable or a good solution. What needs to be done, is instead of letting all these people constantly flee their homes to better places, their current homes need to be fixed, crime and gangs taken out, laws made, jobs creaeted etc.
you, just like so many liberals seem to live by the motto of constantly giving a man a fish, instead of teaching them to fish themselves and making them self sufficient. I would be all for doing things to make foreign countries better. Many don't want our help, or often we can't fully support them. Another sad but true fact.
I'm a meanie head! Beware my Meanness
