Please do not depict all Americans as cold-hearted legalists who lack common humanity.
I'm not. You might be though. But I'm not. Cold-hearted, is supporting a lawless, anarchy based system, where every law can be ignored if you "feel like it's bad".
There are countries like that, and most of them are terrible places to live.
If we actually became the bleeding left-wing country that allows people to break the law every time there is some lame excuse, it would actually destroy everything that people like this lady want, which is why they are trying to come here.
Worse you would destroy everything, that those who came here legally, worked so hard to get. Far worse an evil, to ruin all their hard work, to become real American citizens. How heartless you must be, to mock everything they set to achieve.
I have the heart. You are the one missing one.
You cannot see that compassion is a traditional quality of Americans and not a weakness. Too bad.
You take a look at your "compassion" and compare the number of victimized and abused, and murdered people today, verses that of 100 years ago.... No, your version of compassion is not only weak, it's evil.
Ours is good and moral.
Disagree. I'm with Eloy in this. You can't just assume that because somebody is from a foreign country they are violent criminals or a threat to our safety, That's ignorant and just plain wrong. This is the land of opportunity, how priveleged are we? How lucky are we have been born here? you lack any kind of compassion and perspective when talking about this issue.
Was she here illegally? If yes... then that is a law breaker. That is a criminal. We have laws. You either follow them, or you don't.
Every time you allow people to break laws, and give them a pass, you undermine the rule of law. Period.
See you disconnect "harmless" law breakers from "harmful" law breakers. And that's false. There is a direct connection. People who have research criminal behavior will all tell you that serial killers, and gang murderers, never popped into existence from magic.
They start out as just kids whose parents didn't teach them respect for the law. They started out just taking bubble gum from the vendor without paying. They started out vandalizing the back fence at the school.
No one wakes up on Thursday at age 28, and says "You know I'm going to become a wanted violent felon! That's my new plan!".
It all starts in the home, with doing what is right, or doing what is wrong, even if it harms no one.
I was at Columbus State Community College, here in Columbus Ohio. I was in class, when a young lade next to me, were talking, and she found out I worked at the dealership across the street. A Cadillac dealership.
She asked me "Could you get me one of those Cadillac emblems? My son would love that".
I responded that those are rather expensive.
"Oh no, I didn't mean buy it. I meant if you could just find one that no one would notice missing"
She was asking me to steal from my employer. To her, it wasn't even wrong. That's just what you do. The law didn't matter. Thievery was fine.
What kind of impact do you think she is having on her kids? And that's an American. We can't deport her.
But other law breaking people, who are not here legally, we can. And we should.
When you let little law breakers go, you end up with big law breakers.
