I take it back. At the time I was pretty pissed and I thought there was a chance I might have crossed a line. If that's not the case, then I don't have any worry about being banned because the moderation on TFP is fair.
So you go from this:

No my friend, I think you need to see where your feet are standing, it seems to look like a soap box to me.

I've kept people in my home for
months at a time, helping them find work, helping them study for the test, just helping them in general. You assume I may have done it once in the past. The reality is that I do it a lot. I have someone who stays at my home on and off right now, in fact. Unfortunately, I have no way to control the education system in my friends' home country. All I can do is help them into ESL classes here and into night classes that teach them marketable skills that not only help our economy but help them feed their family. Just fyi, I don't just do this for illegal immigrants. There are other homeless people that I've helped who are not illegal immigrants. I still donate my time to homeless shelters. Thanksgiving for me means going to homeless shelters and making turkey for less fortunate people.
