new coup for you said:
i reject the arbitrary distinction of "illigal" immigration
my ancestors arrived in the US about six generations ago, arent you all glad they didnt keep all of you out?
Take this scenario:
You have a house with a fence around it. The fence represents the US Border, the house represents a city within the US. Now, someone jumps that fence and enters your house without any notification. They sit on your couch, watching your TV and eating your food. All without even asking. Now you enter your house and find this unwelcome visitor using YOUR stuff without your permission. What do you do?
Now, scenario 2:
Same house and fence, same representations. Now, someone walks thru the front gate, then rings your doorbell. You answer the door and find out that it's someone who wants to rent out a room (the rent money would represent taxes) and do some yard work to help with the upkeep of the property (the chores would represent a job in the workforce). now, once you do a background check on this person (let's just say they checkout and are ok) you let them rent out a room in your house and they do yard work twice a week.
So between the two scenarios, #1 is an example of Illegal Immigration and #2 is an example of Legal Immigration.
Back in the day, when immigrants came to America, they came by ship and most of them had to stop off at Ellis Island to be registered as Americans. That's Legal Immigration. Now, ppl are jumping the fences and just staying here without documentation. That is illegal, and if one can't follow American laws then one has no business being here. But ppl like you sympathize for them and condone their illegal acts. Why?
My ancestors are both European and Native American, in case you wanted to know.
