ome people illegally immigrate here because they think they have no other choice based on the place they’re from and are trying to find a better life for their kids/family.

They're still breaking the law and that makes them criminals. IDGAF how much of a heart of gold they have. There's nothing wrong with wanting a better life for your family. That's admirable.

Breaking the law to do it and taking taxpayer resources from Americans who have had that tax money seized at the point of a gun because they want a better life is tantamount to armed robbery. At best, they are well-meaning parasites who will bleed the United States dry.

If we cannot trust those who seek to emigrate to the United States to respect our most basic of immigration laws and processes, then what reasonable expectation do we have that any other aspect of the rule of law that our society runs on will be followed?

Hint: We don't.
