fire -- i have been trying to formulate that exact thought for an entire day now
good job.
we discuss illegal immigrants as if they are all evil lay-abouts here to unfairly take advantage of our countries perks (free education, welfare, etc) nor are they a group of saints more worthy of benefits than those of us lucky enough to be born here. they are just people who are trying to give themselves and their families a better life. the discrepancy between their idea of what constitutes better (working for $1/hour doing back breaking physical labor just be able to live in the USA) and the average Americans idea gives me pause. I can't justify denying people what i consider basic human rights just because they were born a few miles too far south.
