That is not an issue if they are here legally, if not? Tough shit, Pick a side.

I am opposed, in principal, to people living here illegally and working, going to school etc. But the problem is complex, and even more so now, when people are seeking sanctuary from violence.
Go home and fix your problems - coming here and spreading the violence and other issues into this country is not a viable solution.

Yes, we Americans contribute ...
We cannot afford to take the hit for the worlds ills anymore -
We have our own issues to deal with.
We help everyone everytime there is a problem and everyone wants our help. Time to deal with our own issues and let them deal with theirs. If we can curb the ease in which people AND/OR drugs flow into our country, we will all be the better for it.
