What proof do you even have that they are criminals?
Because they wanted a better life in the U.S.?
Isnt that the story we sell people about America?



You know, fact is that there is a LEGAL way to enter this country and they chose and ILLEGAL one. You do ILLEGAL things and you are a CRIMINAL. Regardless of if they wanted a better life or not, they still chose an ILLEGAL channel to get it.

As for that, "bring us your tired, poor, sick and huddled masses yearning to be free" stuff, that hasn't been an accepted idea in this country for several decades. Where did you get that ,out of a 1950s textbook written about the America of the 1930s?
