    You have expressed an opinion that people from Mexico should be able to enter the U.S. illegally because they wish to find a job and live a better life - or to that effect.

    Are you equally in favor of people from other countries around the world also entering the U.S. illegally for those same reasons?

    Are you ok with human smuggling of Chinese people into the U.S.

    Are you ok with people trying to float into the U.S. from Haiti for the same reasons?

    Do you have any conditions that would limit the majority of the world's population from entering the U.S. illegally for those same reasons?

    Where do you draw the line?

    Mexicans aren't just about living a better life. For some it is survival. My solution is larger. I would use the military to help Mexico defeat the drug cartels causing a lot of problems at the boarder. I would stop business from hiring illegals. I would work with Mexico withholding funds given that could not be accounted for limiting graft. I would help develop aspects of that nation in exchange for access to resources providing more jobs both for mexico and the US. I would jointly work with the mexican government to put down communist rebbles in souther Mexico as well as limiting further drug flows into the united states. And many more ideas. In fact I would like to get Mexico to the state of Canada/ US relations.

    This doesn't really answer my question.

    A very significant portion of the world populaton lives under similar or equally difficult situations.

    Would you also welcome those hundreds of millions of people from other countries to enter the U.S. illegally?

    Where do you draw the line?

    Yes.

    Let me throw rocks at you and then tell me when you want me to quit.

    I might not want to.

    How are you going to stop me?

    Try to imagine it is your daughter who is the Border Patrol agent.

    So, how many rocks would you accept against your daughters head until
    she could defend herself?

    Oh, now I get it, if the kid is in the US legally or is some other nationality, it would then be okay to throw rocks.
    Thanks for clarifying that. :tonofbricks:
