Boarder issues getting out of control

I find the comments section at the bottom to be revealing.

 

So its ok to shoot 14 year old boys throwing rocks if he's mexican and illegal? Just want to clear it up a bit.

 

There is a bit of difference with Stephen being stoned to death by a crowd and a kid throwing rocks. It was stupid of the boy to throw rocks. However, stupidity is the provence of young people and adults should be more responsible.

 

I differ with you on several points. These arent criminals in the sense of having been criminals in Mexico (some are but most aren't). They are only criminals in the sense they crossed the boarder without proper paperwork. Your statement suggest they are harden murders invading the US. This is not the case. Next they aren't invading so much as being invited. How you may ask? business owners want to take advantage of these people for their cheep labor and other uses. If employers would not hire them it wouldn't be such a problem. Note many mexicans are legal and have been in the US for generations. So its not really a military invasion either. They don't want to take over the government. They want to make some money to send home to have their families better off. And the US aren't cowards. We don't protect our boarders because we want to take advantage of what the illegals have to offer. The US is great at exploiting people. Look at how the coal companies exploited poor in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Kentucky, and Tennessee in our recent past. Look at how legistlation has been passed to ensure a weaking of the middle class a consolidation of wealth for the wealthy and the reliance of the poor on the government system and wealthy. Yes the sad truth is we are exploiting these people for our uses. These people are also exploited by their own country where there are no jobs and no wealth with which to help their families survive. So I don't think these are invaders. They are the exploited doing their best to survive in a world that has demonized them.

 

I do indeed support it but I purposely want to stay away from Rhetoric such as "They are ciminals invading the country" which is inaccurate statement. I also want to look at the bigger picture which includes affecting our economy and how best to deal with the problem without demonizing a people who are doing their best to preserve their families.

 

Let me ask you a question. In Uzbekistan there is a lot of poverty and fighting where people are dying regularily. In order to survive many are crossing the boarder to Kyrgistan who have closed the boarder. Are these people criminals? No they are human beings who have an God endowed right to survive. Mexicans crossing have very little difference with the people in Uzbekistan. It is not a crime to attempt to provide for your family. In Ethiopia many years ago people were dying of starvation. Sam Kenison made a humorous statement saying they are starving because they live in a desert. Move! Well if they did and cross boarders you would call them illegal immigrants and thus criminals. For Shame! You've de-humanized a whole populace of people by catagorically calling them criminals. When they are just people wanting to survive their lack of resources, bad economy, and drug wars.
And by the way. I would give them food. In fact, I came accross this very problem about a year ago. A family accross the street were low on food. When I found out we bought them groceries for a couple of months. Here is the problem. The its and incorrect analogy. A better analogy is that people accross the street are starving your wife tells them they can work by doing her chores for a couple of dollars which they make the most of. You come home and see these people and ask your wife if she let them in and she says no knowing you don't like the look of them. So you pull out your shot gun and run them out only to have the next day your wife telling them yeah common back just don't get caught.

 

So you would also ignore the refugees from Uzbekistan illegally moving to Kygizstan, Ethiopia, Somalia, etc... Its all the same thing. If you differentiate you just show yourself to be prejudicial against the mexicans. The fact is your charity is suffering. Especially when you deny a human the right to survive which is God given.
