Don't even get me started man. THERE ARE LAWS TO BE FOLLOWED. You don't follow the laws, you face the consequences. These people didn't follow the law. There are legal ways to do things, and then there are illegal ways to do things. You say "without breaking the law sometimes, you may never see what's wrong with the law". True true, but not when that law is what keeps a lot of our citizens safe and secure.
There is a saying that says a divided kingdom cannot stand. Well my friend, we are that divided kingdom when we open our borders and let just anybody in. We can't just allow illegal immigrants to come in a mooch off of our system that we so carefully built. Granted, our system is not perfect, but it is okay to find a way to keep the illegals out. Would you want me to just walk through your house, without regard to what I am doing to you, and take water and resources that you have earned through hardwork (hopefully)? Of course you wouldn't, just like the illegal immigrants that we, at least most of us, don't want running through our country taking the hard earned tax dollars that we've already given to the government.
Dude, you can call this view ignorant or whatever, but when they are doing something illegal because they THINK they can be better off here, they've got another think coming. Strengthen the borders, tighten the reign, and keep the illegal immigrants out.
As for those who do it the legal way, MORE POWER TO THEM. At least we know that they are more than likely hard working for at least trying.
the person who built YOUR contour deserves less access to medicine for their children than you do, let alone a safe passage across a border, reguardless of their intentions? yea, lets put guns on the wall, then lets get Milosevec out of jail an have him lead the charge against Mexicans. You'all have NO idea what is going on in the world outside of your self-righteous little minds.
AND NO THEY DON'T DESERVE LESS, but there are legal ways to get into our country.
AND on top of all that, this thread was not about keeping the illegal aliens out, it was about the stupid idiots who are trying to sue the government for not providing water stations in the desert for the illegals who died. SCREW THEM! THEY SHOULDN'T BE HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!
And by the way, I do have a heart for those in other countries that are not as well off as we are, but when I live in a country that sends 14 billion + in aid to countries every year, don't tell me that we don't do enough. We can't just quit protecting our country to make everybody around us a mirror image of us.
