I'm not defending a broken system but pointing out the flaws in the arguments to deport all the illegal immigrants posted by the xenophobes. The system is broken on both sides and I posted earlier what I believe a good solution is. The number one thing is we have to treat people with respect.
It is my belief that the greatest human trait is empathy, people who can put themselves into others positions and see things from their point of view. I ask any of you who are anti immigrants to ask yourself. If you were born in a poor and corrupt nation, were taught the importance of family way more than it is in the US, and your family (parents, grandparents, wife, children, etc) were practically starving, and you had a chance to give them a better life by sneaking into another country where you would work jobs that the other country didn't want to work. Would you not go? Or would you not at least feel pride for those who did?
I wish every person in America would vote only after seeing the issues from all points of view and not just the a strictly liberal or conservative view.
